Comment on Cochlear Implants Recall by Raymond

Raymond — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 19:46:47 +0000

I am a patient of this device CI512 model and I must say I have had nothing but issues with the device...the shutting down, swelling, infections, and troubleshooting of the device. But too looking into Surgical error on some issues for after surgery I suffer from no feeling on the right side of my face..meaning no pain senses yet loss of muscle use in the face. now with almost a year this coming march I've had the device off for now 3 months and finally feeling less headaches and discomfort yet swelling on the area of the implant. I've talked to the company reps and Dr's Neuro Surgeons and such many are puzzled on how all these issues have started after surgery and the device was turned on..though the biggest is the infections that seem to keep continuing yet the headaches are better though not gone...I'm removing the implant sometime in Jan 2012 though looking at MedEL to see if this might be a option to help?

Advocate,

Hawk yes, but not on the VRS list now (at least I don't think so). Others? Can you enlighten me?

You're right about not being the first ever, but at least first under much more stringent new VRS regulation. I'll correct it.

Congrats on being one of several to receive conditional certify.

But Convo is not first deaf own Vrs. It's a great thing that Comvo gets conditional certify but no need to exaggerate.

Hawk and others deaf owned got certified too.

Apparently, all systems are set to go! The deadline is Nov. 15th. Best wishes for VRS applicants as they seek certification under this new TRS Certification regime.
