How to Tell if Your Cochlear Device Is Defective
If your cochlear device has been explanted, call us as soon as possible. The device manufacturer may have tested the device post-explant and performed a failure analysis investigation and report. Typically, cochlear implants fail due to a lack of a hermeticity, which allows the moisture and saline from the inner ear to penetrate the device. The diodes which power the device will fail if exposed to these elements.
Sometimes recipients of defective cochlear implants will begin to deal with bouts of intermittent device function just before the cochlear implant shuts down and fails completely. At this point in the process, it is important to have an audiologist troubleshoot the implant to confirm if the device has indeed experienced a hard failure. The device manufacturer will generally have its on-call audiologist perform an “Integrity Test Report” to find out why the processor is no longer communicating with the implant.
After such time that the device has been confirmed a failed device by their own diagnostic testing, it is very important to contact us so we can be certain that the manufacturer preserves the explant for potential further testing. Having official test results and other data are essential to building a strong claim after dealing with a defective cochlear implant.
