Q

What is data logging?

A

allows the audiologist to see how often the external is connected to the internal and what programs are being used

25
Q

How is datalogging used?

A

it has to be programmed in by the audiologist

26
Q

Do you need a specific program for the telecoil?

A

Yes because it isn’t an auto telecoil

27
Q

What internal alarms are on the Naida?

A

Volume, low battery, program change
Program: will give # of beeps for program # (3 beeps=program 3)
Volume: beep once for up and once for down, but 2 short beeps to indicate middle
Low battery: long beep every 15 min starting 45 min prior to battery dying

28
Q

What are LED lights?

A

Red, Green, and Orange lights indicating status of implant

29
Q

What are the various orange beeps and what do they indicate?

A

orange blinks at startup: number of blinks is battery status

solid orange: battery is almost depleted

Blinks twice every 3 seconds: battery is almost depleted and can’t support stimulation

Light fades out: Naida is entering standby mode

30
Q

What does a fading orange light mean?

A

Naida is going into standby

31
Q

What does a blinking orange light mean (every 3 seconds)?

A

battery is almost depleted

32
Q

What are the various red lights?

A

One red blink per second: loss of lock

Rapid red blinks: intelliLink is activated-wrong implant

Solid red: processor is in error condition

5 red blinks: responding to MyPilot “Find paired device” for the right side

33
Q

What do rapid red blinks indicate?

A

the wrong implant has been connected

34
Q

What do 5 red blinks indicate?

A

the right implant is responding to the MyPilot “find paired device”

35
Q

What are the various green lights?

A

blinks in response to loud sounds: processor and mic are responding to sound

Blinks at startup and program change: indicates the program it is in

Solid green: processor is not yet programmed

Four blinks: left processor responding to MyPilot “find paired devices”

36
Q

What does a solid green light mean?

A

the processor isn’t yet programmed

37
Q

What do four green blinks mean?

A

The left processor is responding to MyPilot “find paired devices”

38
Q

How many microphones are on the Naida?

A

4: processor mic, rear mic, T-mic 2, headpiece mic

39
Q

What is Ultrazoom?

A

allows the processor to focus on speaker directly in front of them at a 60* angle (like a miners helmet)

can be unilateral or bilateral

40
Q

What is Duophone?

A

Streams phone call to both ears

Applies 6dB of attenuation

41
Q

What is Zoom Control?

A

Focus on right or left and attenuates sound (by 12dB) on non-focus side

42
Q

How much attenuation is applied to non-focus ear in Zoom Control?

A

12dB

43
Q

What is QuickSync?

A

Allows the recipient to change volume or programs in both processors with one touch

44
Q

What is DirectTouch?

A

Allows the recipient to enter Zoom Control and Duophone and choose focus ear with one touch

45
Q

What are the battery options for Neptune?

A

Disposable lithium AAA battery, rechargeable AAA battery

46
Q

What is an IP rating

A

Ingress protection

Tells how water tight and dust proof a processor is

47
Q

What is the Neptunes IP rating and what do the numbers mean?

A

68:
6 is the highest dust tight rating
8: means AB went above and beyond the standard rating of 7 which is 2 meters depth for 30 min

48
Q

What processor has audible external alarms?

A

Neptune

49
Q

What do the orange LED lights on the neptune indicate?

A
