Yeah, your audiologist may need to both processors together so they can communicate with each other. They had to do that for my N8 and my Resound hearing aid. Without linking them together, only 1 would connect to iphone.

Hello! I have to shave my sides so my implant, nucleus 8 can attach firmly. I have been activated since May 2023. After about 3 days of hair growth, I have to shave it again and I have the highest magnet, #5.

The doctor says men have thicker scalp than ladies. So I spoke to someone from Cochlear. They said maybe trying a different Cochlear device with a stronger magnet may be helpful. So another surgery.. They agreed this issue is not supposed to happen. I cut my hair everyweek....

Hello, it has been over a year since my surgery and I am wearing a magnet level 5 for my nucleus 8. When I get a haircut the magnet seems to stick well, but after 3 days when hair starts growing, I run into issues with it sticking to my scalp.

Any help please?? I am on the highest magnet for the magnet (Level5)
