• Take a printout from your clinician of your most recent
program in case you need help with your processor.
• If you have a backup sound processor, check that it is
programmed correctly and take it with you.
• It’s okay to move through metal detectors and full body
scanners with your sound processor on. To avoid any
possible buzzing sounds in your ear, turn off the telecoil.
• Ask your clinician for a Patient Identification Card. In
the unlikely event that your implant sets off a metal
detector the ID card will help explain that you have an
implanted medical device.
• If you need to remove your sound processor as you
move through airport security, place it in a case in your
hand luggage.
• Your sound processor will not interfere with a plane’s
navigation system so you won’t need to turn it off
during takeoff and landing. If you use a remote control
for your processor, switch it off before takeoff as it
transmits high frequency radio waves when switched
on.
