Interesting research summary on the Safety and Functional Results of Early Cochlear Implant Switch-On in Children. That means instead of waiting for four weeks before they switched the implant on, they only waited for one week. Even five years ago, Lily's implant center only waited 10 days.
"This is the first study investigating the safety and the effects of an early cochlear implant switch-on in children. Results show that such a procedure is well tolerated by pediatric subjects and free from complications. Impedance measurements suggest that the earlier switched-on subjects benefit of lower and more stable impedances than subjects undergoing 1-month switch-on."
