Like MayMay said, my experience has been that I have to change my settings from time-to-time.
* Your doctor may have told you that it may take 2 weeks for you to adjust to a different channel/program. However, I have found that effects of a change are much quicker than that - maybe a day or two.
* Make sure you really understand how to operate that remote control. It's easy to accidentally turn off the internal device. (Hopefully, they have improved the interface of the latest devices.)
* Higher power settings will quickly drain the battery of the internal device, requiring a new implant sooner. (I had to replace mine in only 18 months. They are supposed to last 5 years.)
* If you revisit a previous channel you might get shocked! So, before changing to a different channel I suggest turning the current channel power down. That way when you go back to it later you won't get shocked. Then increase the power slowly from there. Maybe keep notes of what power you were using on a channel before moving to a different one.
May the Lord bless you!
