High levels of electrostatic charge are known to build up under the following
circumstances:
•
Walking on carpets
•
Sliding on plastic slides
•
Exiting an automobile
•
Pulling sweaters on and off
•
Touching TV or computer screens
•
Removing bedding materials
You should take the following basic precautions in order to reduce the chances of an
ESD event:
•
Electrostatic potential can be safely reduced by touching any person or object with your
fingers prior to contact with a headpiece, cables or sound processor. Hand contact
will safely equalize electric charge and prevent sparks from jumping to the processor
system. When approached by someone (for example on carpet), touch him or her first
with your hand prior to them touching your external cochlear implant components.
Parents are advised to touch their child before they touch a headpiece or processor that
their child is wearing. Also, before placing any part of a processor system on a table or
other surface, you should first touch the surface.
