Why MRI Matters: the MED-EL Guide to Cochlear Implants

COCHLEAR IMPLANTS: A GUIDE TO Why MRI Matters Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important medical technology that lets doctors see detailed images of the inside of your body. Will I need an MRI? 00 Most of us will probably need at least one MRI in our lifetime MRI machines use incredibly POWERFUL MAGNETS. A 3.0 Tesla MRI machine uses magnets up to 600x stronger than a fridge magnet. THAT'S STRONG ENOUGH TO LIFT A CAR! With such powerful magnets, it is important to ensure safety and comfort especially for people with a cochlear implant. That's because every cochlear implant has a small magnet inside. MAGNET IS IT SAFE FOR ME TO GET AN MRI? It is when you have SYNCHRONY MED-EL's latest cochlear implant with a Revolutitonary Magnet A magnet that can freely rotate within its secure titanium housing. Just like a compass needle rotates to align with the earth's magnetic field. SYNCHRONY is the only cochlear implant that lets you safely have high-resolution 3.0 Tesla MRIS without surgery. That means you'll be able to hear right away after an MRI! High-Res MRI with NO UNNECESSARY SURGERY! In fact, in a recent study only MED-EL recipients were able to complete all of their MRI scans without discomfort or complications. MRI COMPLICATIONS 40% 55% 0% ADVANCED COCHLEAR MED-EL BIONICS You never know what life can bring, but with SYNCHRONY, you'll have Peace of Mind knowing you're ready for anything.
