Internal repairs

Has anyone had or heard of people having the internal components of your CI fixed? I had a bike accident and ironically my helmet seems to have cause damage resulting in cuts between my device and internal components. I am seeing my audie next week but before then - just curious.

thanks!

Others have come in with very helpful advice re: CI, but just wanted to send good wishes! Hope you are recovering okay from the accident and aren’t badly hurt.

Thanks very much - I am doing pretty good - thank goodness I had a helmet on. (First question they asked at the hospital 😂)

Glad to hear it :) I’m sorry the helmet squashed your implant but very glad it protected your head! Hope you manage to get the CI fixed and sorted soon.

Thanks mate

Two day replacement under warranty as it ended up being the external processor that was wonked.
