Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Hearing Implants – Follow-up on Prevalence and Complications

Conclusions: Our data indicate that patients undergoing hearing implant surgery need better information about the limitations and requirements of MRI. The occurrence of side effects is likely as only half of the patients in our study group were completely free of symptoms. Dislocation of the implant magnet was observed in several cases, hence patients and physicians need to be educated about this potential complication.
