Airport Security Metal Detectors
Metal detectors and security scanners, including full body scanners, will not damage your
implant system; however, metal detectors may be activated as you pass through. To avoid
hearing any unwanted sound when walking through metal detectors or security scanners, you
should reduce the volume on the sound processor or remove your headpiece.
Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors, sometimes used in lighting sensors and security systems, will not damage
your implant system; however, they may be picked up by the headpiece microphone and lead
to distorted sound quality when you operate your sound processor in the immediate vicinity
of such a sensor. Additionally, if the ultrasonic sound is of a very high intensity, the processor
system microphone may become damaged. To avoid hearing any unwanted sound, you should
reduce the volume on your sound processor or remove your headpiece when passing near an
ultrasonic sensor (e.g. in entrances to libraries).
X-ray Machines
X-ray machines will not damage your sound processor or implant, but may damage your Naída
CI and head piece microphones. Avoid placing any system microphones in any checked or
carry-on baggage that is screened with X-ray. During airport security screenings, the sound
processor and microphone should be worn through the metal detector or examined by hand.
