I am an MRI technologist and am a little concerned with patients that may get this new implantable hearing device. It may be an issue if any of these people need to have an MRI exam done. When a patient has hearing aids we have them remove them before they have an MRI because the magnet and the radio waves used during the test will damage the device as well as a possible saftey issue if it were to heat up or be attracted to the magnet. If someone has it implanted , then they may not be able to have the test done at all until it is removed by a doctor. Just something to consider before getting one of those.... something most people will not even think about.
