Have you had an MRI after your BAHA implant?
« on: November 15, 2009, 04:27:33 pm »
Did it affect the MRI?  Probably not but I'm just wondering.  I hope to get the BAHA once I'm done with my Proton treatments at MGH.

Thank you.

Just wanted to echo what Jo said.

A BAHA implant, is titanium, and therefore has no effect on an MRI - but you should tell the technician that you have one.  They like to know stuff like this  :)

Also, when having an MRI you should not wear your processor (device) aka tiny hearing aid.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
