Platform supporting the recovery of full participation in social life for cochlear implants users.
1. Once you receive a password, be sure to change it to your own. Never set a password like a login. This exposes your computer system to hacking attacks.
2. The application should work so that when you enter "test" 
you immediately hear the first melody line. It is not necessary to click on the button the "play" 
that turns on the melody. If you do not observe this feature of the application then check whether the browser has the option of automatic audio playback enabled (for example here for Firefox browser).
3. Set the appropriate volume level on your device. The cochlear implant has a much lower amplitude dynamic range than the natural ear, and for this reason it is bad at recognizing sounds that are too loud or too quiet.
4. It is worth experimenting with the volume. If you can't recognize the melody line during the test, try changing the volume on the device - make it louder or quieter.
5. During the "test" use the button "play" to play the recognized melodic line again. You can press this button as many times as you like until the melodic line is fully recognized. Then point to the recognized melodic line. The green or red circle will light up.
6. If you don't recognize the melody line correctly, a button with the correct answer appears at the bottom left, for example 
. By clicking on this button you can listen to the correct answer. This part of the application is of great importance in the rehabilitation process. When you want to finish listening press and go to the next melody line.
7. After completing one full test, you can use "practice" 
module. There you will find all the melodic lines appearing in the tests.
8. Your answers are recorded and will be used to create statistics, data analysis and report. Therefore, it is important to answer the full eighteen melody lines until the button 
appears. If you stop the test with an incomplete eighteen, the data will not be included in the statistics.
9. It is very important not to inflate the good answers with behavior such that if you do well, you finish the eighteen, and if there are a lot of bad answers at the beginning, you don't finish the eighteen. Such behavior leads to incorrect statistics.
10. If you have a clear asymmetry in hearing the right and left side, use an induction loop and feed the signal to a specific implant. If you don't do this, the recognition will involve the dominant side in good hearing, and the inferior side will not be rehabilitated.
11. Send information about incorrect operation of the application to k.szymanski@uwb.edu.pl. In case of an error messages take a screenshot and send that the image too. That will help us to recognise and save the problem.
