Cochlear SPrint / Spectra 22
List of required parts
Pre-Fitting
Enable auto sensitivity control (ASC) and use an audio
mixing ratio of 1:1 for the dedicated FM program. Keep
the pre-processing e.g. ADRO strategy when used in the
default program.
Fitting with the user
1. Turn all equipment Off.
2. Connect the specific patch cable into the speech processor
and the MicroLink CI S.
3. Plug the FM receiver into the MicroLink CI S. If
MicroMLxS is used, move the switch to the double green
dot position.
4. Turn the volume of the MicroLink CI S to the minimum.
5. To avoid transient sounds, turn On the FM transmitter,
then MicroLink CI S, then speech processor in that order.

6. Gradually increase the gain of the MicroLink CI S to a
comfortable level.
7. Determine speech recognition ability in quiet at normal
sensitivity with the FM signal. Ensure that results are
similar to implant alone condition. MicroLink CI S gain
may need further adjustments.
8. Evaluate FM benefit as well as the appropriateness of FM
settings trough speech-recognition assessment in the
clinic and standardized questionnaires completed by the
recipient, family members and teachers.
Notes
For the Spectra 22 with serial number < 340.000, the CI
microphone will be MUTED when an external device such as
the MicroLink CI S is plugged in.
Listening check
The best way to listen to the FM signal is to plug the
MicroLink CI S with the blue, blue red, black or white
patch cable into a loudspeaker. Make sure there is a good
battery inside the MicroLink CI S. Then turn On the
MicroLink CI S and FM transmitter On. By speaking into
the transmitter’s microphone you should hear your voice
through the speaker.
SPrint has a headphone output. Attach the monitoring
headphones to this output to listen to the processor
microphone and FM signal in parallel.
