Reported risk: Dear Cochlear Implant User or Parents: We are writing with updated information about the implanted part of your cochlear implant system, called HiRes™90K. We trust that your implant continues to provide benefits and improved quality of life. You may have already heard news about your implant, and we hope this will help your understanding. After one year (12 months), 98.9% of the HiRes™90K are still in use. Advanced Bionics continues to seek the highest possible reliability for its implantable medical products. To this end, we have recently conducted an extensive review of the HiRes™90K and wish to share the results.
