Abstract

Objective: There is increased confusion regarding MRI-compatible CIs and BAHAs. This report describes two cases when patients underwent MRIs with non-MRI compatible devices. Results: One patient with bilateral Cochlear Osias experienced dislocation of both internal magnets after 1.5 Tesla MRI. Both magnets were outside the silastic sheath, with the left magnet flipped. A second patient with a legacy CI experienced similar internal magnet dislocation and inversion after 3 Tesla MRI. Conclusions: This study describes internal magnet dislocation/inversion with the Cochlear Osia and a legacy CI after MRI. Our findings suggest the need for improved patient education and simplified radiology guidelines. Laryngoscope, 134:393–396, 2024.
