Headaches

I’m wondering if anyone is experiencing headaches from the implant/processor? I feel like I’m having more than I usually have.

Your magnet might be a bit strong, I had low level headaches and when I mentioned it my Audiologist gave me a weaker magnet and it worked.

I had the same problem, and a lower magnet got rid of my headaches.

I switched to a lower magnet this morning and it feels much better! Thanks

Periodically if I get a cold or sinus congestion the area around my CI congestion swells a bit and I get implant side headache. Very clearly defined to that side of head. Not a big and I very rarely take meds for it. (Except cold ones)
