    A multi-center self-assessment survey was conducted to evaluate patient satisfaction with the Advanced Bionics Neptuneâ„¢ waterproof sound processor used with the AquaMicâ„¢ totally submersible microphone. Subjective satisfaction with the different Neptuneâ„¢ wearing options, comfort, ease of use, sound quality and use of the processor in a range of active and water related situations were assessed for 23 adults and 73 children, using an online and paper based questionnaire. Upgraded subjects compared their previous processor to the Neptuneâ„¢. The Neptuneâ„¢ was most popular for use in general sports and in the pool. Subjects were satisfied with the sound quality of the sound processor outside and under water and following submersion. Seventy-eight percent of subjects rated waterproofness as being very useful and 83% of the newly implanted subjects selected waterproofness as one of the reasons why they chose the Neptuneâ„¢ processor. Providing a waterproof sound processor is considered by cochlear implant recipients to be useful and important and is a factor in their processor choice. Subjects reported that they were satisfied with the Neptuneâ„¢ sound quality, ease of use and different wearing options
