Title: Have you had an MRI after your BAHA implant?
Post by: lholl36233 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.

Bahas do not affect MRIs...I had my implant sept 22 and had my MRI in late Oct.

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.
