Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 I'm curious to know if anyone has a percentage of failure rates that Cochlear has? Someone posted on a list, can't remember where, the percentage failure rate of AB as being about 2.5% and another responded with 10% rather than 2.5%. So far I've read that one person has had 2 implant failures with AB and another (?) had 2 implant failures as well with Cochlear. But I hear more about implant failures with AB. If any of you besides has had implant failures with Cochlear, would you mind letting me know? Thanks, Sheree Quote
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 The one year cumulative survival rate in adult implant recipients who have the new Freedom implant is 100%. There have been 3 failures in children. One is from a blunt force head trauma. I am not sure the cause of the other two. I am trying to locate my materials with more information and will post later when I find it. Warmly, Carol in WI Quote
