HearPeers Heroes Matt Posted August 31, 2012 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I ride my motorbike every day (no car) and I had a big accident a few months ago. I didn't hit my head but I impacted the gutter/kerb heavily and the implant is fine. Just wish my body was as tough. I would have no problem going on a roller coaster - maybe I should wear my helmet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveeggy Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 hey , i have totally forgot to ask him pop question about roller coaster but i have found my med el booklet , Rides which involve high speeds and/ or extreme forces may risk dislodging the internal parts of the cochlea implant and are therefore not recommended.The risk is greatest in the first 6 months after surgery,and in the longer term for those who are risk of the electrode array extruding from the cochlea ( check with your surgeon if in doubt ). For less extreme rides it id advisable to remove the external equipment (speech processor) if there is a risk that it be dislodged. It is possible to state an acceptable "g" force for such rides because other factors come into play which affect the exact force on the internal device So i won't be going on any rides for a while because i already had a surgery on july 19th 2012 so is too soon .
