Ummm, that would be my question as well.
Not sure what the benefit would be.
If we are talking about when swimming in the pool and being with others, well that is a totally different thing.
In any case electronics unless totally sealed, doesn't mix with water period.
Cochlear says that right now it is "splash resistant" (like the Freedom) but with the rechargable it can be submerged in still water up to a few feet (can't remember how far) for up to 30 minutes. NO swimming, no showers, they are both "moving water".
Right now, it is absolutly no different than the Freedom in water resistance (or technology).
The Nucleus 5 Sound Processor is the world’s most water resistant, allowing you to relax around water or play by the pool. With the industry’s only International Protection Ratings of IP443, and IP573 for water resistance, your sound processor can keep up with your active lifestyle.
Avoid water contamination as you would with any piece of electrical equipment, but possibly moreso, as it is connected to your childs brain :|
This makes me think you have no idea what you are talking about!
Haha, but why? It is perfectly reasonable to assume that short-circuiting speech processor might produce some rather awful sensations with incorrect stimulation via the implant (if only for a few seconds). Would you stick a malfunctioning processor on? It might do nothing, or it might be unpleasant for a bit, to say the least. I certainly wouldn't want to risk putting my child through that. I've seen plenty of children change their minds very quickly about whether they want to wear their implants after such things, and children can be very stubborn.
cochlear implant is not connected to a child's brain. And a processor is a totally different from the implant. With all that body fluid around the implant, it is always wet. No worry there. The only worry we have to worry about is the processor quit working because it got wet. But they made sure we don't get electrocuted from it. Just because the processor is on doesn't mean the implant inside our ear will electrocute us if we got the processor wet.
