On August 24, 2009, Advanced Bionics issued the following information about certain defective or failed cochlear implants to surgeons, patients and their guardians:

Advanced Bionics has become aware of sixteen (16) HiRes 90 K Cochlear Implants that have an issue related to the internal magnet.

These devices were made with an internal magnet where the metal case surrounding the magnet was not properly welded.

All of these devices were manufactured between May 27, 2005 and June 30, 2005.

Patients whose device contains an improperly welded magnet have experienced a decrease in the strength of the magnet over time, leading to headpiece retention issues.

Patients experiencing headpiece retention issues mayrequire magnet revision surgery to correct this problem.

We believe it is prudent to inform you of this issue so that you can notify your patients.

Our firm's lawyers have clients with defective Advanced Bionics cochlear implants who range in age from 5 to 81 and vary widely in terms of whether they were born deaf, or lost their hearing gradually or suddenly. Yet virtually all enjoyed and appreciated being able to hear with a cochlear implant prior to their implant failures.

Potential symptoms of defective cochlear implants include:

In infants or children, an unwillingness to wear the external headpiece, crying or fussiness when the sound processor is turned on, lack of expected progress or diminished progress in achieving speech/language milestones, or apparent loss of audiological benefit.

If you or your child has been implanted with a defective cochlear implant, we encourage you to contact a lawyer with Weitz & Luxenberg. The firm has a commitment to being accessible to the deaf individuals and their families and has sign language interpreters and videophone access available.
