Using Personal FM Systems with the

Auria® Sound Processor

What is an FM System?

An FM (Frequency Modulated) system is a wireless communication technology

commonly used in the classroom to overcome the adverse effects of distance and

competing noise.

Connecting the Child's Auria to an FM System:

1. Ensure that you have obtained the appropriate FM equipment, such as iconnect

Adapter, FM Receiver, FM Transmitter and Batteries (size 10 for the iconnect).

Advanced Bionics can assist you in verifying that you have the necessary

equipment via the Auditory customer service line at 877.829.0026 or at www.

BionicEar.com.

2. Ensure that the FM system is functioning appropriately by listening to the FM

system through an amplified speaker or Walkman-style earphones.

3. Keeping the FM system and sound Processor in the "off" position, connect the

sound Processor and FM receiver.

4. Program or adjust the settings of the FM receiver per the child's audiologist

or FM manufacturer's recommendations prior to connecting the Auria sound

Processor.

5. Ensure that the volume on the FM receiver and the Volume Wheel on the

Auria Processor are both set to minimum.

6. Turn on the transmitter, receiver, and sound Processor in that order.

• noTE: It is important that you turn on the equipment in the proper order to

prevent the child from hearing any adverse sound percepts.

7. Gradually increase the volume on the child's sound Processor to his/her

everyday settings or as specified by the child's audiologist.

8. Gradually increase the volume on the FM receiver (if available) to a comfortable

listening level or as specified by child's audiologist or the FM manufacturer.

9. complete a functional listening check:

• Administer a listening task that you know the child can perform close to

100%, such as the ling six sound and/or common phrases.

• Perform these listening tasks in an auditory-only condition and in close

proximity to the child. Repeat the task at a distance of several meters,

noting that no changes in performance are observed with the FM system

in quiet.

• The functional listening check can also be repeated in noise to assess the

effects of the cochlear implant + FM.
