If you work with cochlear implant recipients who have a MED-EL audio processor, you may be familiar with the FineTuner Remote. Here’s a brief rundown of the basics and a few tricks that are useful to know.
Our processors are hands-free, so most settings adjust through Automatic Sound Management. But, if recipients want to change programs, connect to telecoil, or adjust volume & sensitivity manually, they’ll need their FineTuner.
Not everyone likes complicated gadgets, so we made sure FineTuner is simple, sturdy, and fits easily in a pocket. The buttons are easy to see and intuitive to use. The one-to-one button mapping is especially helpful for older recipients—each key is clearly labeled.
As an audiologist, you can enable or disable any button with a fitting. This can be helpful for children or older recipients wanting even simpler controls.
Here’s a quick hands-on to help show recipients what each button is for.

The first time you connect a processor to FineTuner, you’ll need to synchronize them. It only takes a few steps and can be done by recipients. They’ll want to be familiar with this if they often use a spare processor.
Recipients should see several months of FineTuner use from a single CR2025 battery. When the battery is low, the red indicator light blinks three times.
That’s all—we like to keep it simple. Have a question about using FineTuner? Leave a comment below! And don’t forget to subscribe today to get our hands-on articles right to your inbox.
