Danthewolf007 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Been looking for information on what implants can be worn in the machine and so far I only found info on med el.....ab leads me to think that the only good thing they got going for them is the use of aaa battery's and a waterproof case.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 14, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Med -El's Synchrony implant can handle MRIs at 3.0 Tesla levels. If a MRI is needed of the part of the head that would have an unclear image due to the implant, the magnet can be removed- replaced with a spacer and then reinserted. Med-El's Sonnet processors are water resistant. In waterwear covers, the Sonnet and the Rondo are waterproof. I have been swimming with my Rondos in waterwear covers many times. I love it!

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted October 22, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Synchrony was also tested at the strength of magnetic field of 7T and nothing has happened...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 22, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Really?! WOW. I have one internal concert so I am limited to 1.5. But that is great for people who only have Synchrony implants. Ivana Marinac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted October 22, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Well.. ok, but right now you do not actually need such a strong MF for a decent diagnostic research...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 13, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Earlier versions of implant I believe can handle 1.5 T MRI. I would get specifics from MEDEL on this. What Ivana and Marybeth shared about the syrchrony is the same info I have found. I usually just opt for a CT scan. It isn't as detailed an image with a CT scan but in my case it is enough so that's what we go with. Thankfully Sept. 2nd 2016 was a full year since my last surgery. I haven't gone that long without a surgery in 16 years. Now we are up to 16 months and still going strong. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 13, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hoping for an extra long surgery-free stretch for you Adam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 13, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi Adam! Long time no talk. Glad to hear you are well. I'm also well and have had my one year already!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 13, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 We are just coming out of a very busy time at work. You guys will be seeing more of me. Congratulations on your year anniversary. I was surprised how fast that first year went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 13, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Marybeth, we are too! This is the best I have felt in a very long time. The issue is I could feel great today but wake up tomorrow morning needing brain surgery. Things can turn that quick. We are believing for a long stretch for sure. You definitely learn not to take anything for granted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 15, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 For sure! But keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
