During the initial stimulation, which occurs a few weeks after surgery, the audiologist will create an initial MAP for the child and discuss in detail how the external equipment works. Children react very differently during this initial stimulation – some cry, some smile and some show little reaction. The audiologist will make sure your child is comfortable when he/she leaves the office.
