First of all, cochlear implant users should read the cochlear implant product instruction manual carefully, and the cochlear implant clinician should also provide some recommendations for the living environment of the cochlear implant user, especially focusing on the following precautions, as most cochlear implant users can live like the general population. There is a general awareness of safety in sports, but there are some recommendations for cochlear implant users that are specific to their physiology. Non-bodily collision sports: Table tennis, badminton, tennis, rope skipping, jogging, ring rolling, etc. are generally safe activities, but there are some special circumstances that may lead to other accidents that require attention. The language processor should be properly wrapped in a bag to avoid contamination from impact, sweat, and mud. Such as fishing activities when the speech processor to prevent inadvertent fall into the water. However, in some informal, low-intensity amateur ball games, if you must participate in such sports, it is best to remove the external speech processor and secure the head implant with a safety strap for safety. Cochlear implant users should avoid participating in more intense physical confrontation sports such as boxing and kickboxing, as injuries from heavy blows or crushing of the head are almost inevitable. 3. Sports that require protective equipment such as safety helmets are recommended: bicycling, horseback riding, go-karting, etc. These sports are fine to participate in. However, in order to avoid the risk of the cochlear implant being crushed and collided with, it is necessary to wear a regular and qualified protective apparatus such as a helmet. 4. Water sports: such as swimming, water play, rafting, diving and other water sports. As long as the external language processor is removed, most water sports can be carried out. The frog lens cover used for diving should be careful not to compress the implant area for safety reasons and to avoid discomfort from too tight bouncing. Others, such as driving boats, rowing and canoeing, should also be equipped with safety helmets to ensure safety. Both snorkeling and deep diving carry certain risks, as water pressure and the heavy equipment required for diving can cause injury to cochlear implant users, so it is important to inform cochlear implant users of this information in advance. In addition, it is important to note that some cochlear implant users have balance impairments and should never go into the water alone during deep sea diving activities. Because these cochlear implant users may experience disorientation and spatial disorientation when diving underwater, they must be guided by a professional guide. 5. Individual athletic events: For example, gymnastics, martial arts, etc. Participation in such sports should be careful, should wear helmets and other protective equipment for safety. Again, it is still necessary to take down the external speech processor and wiring. Many cochlear implant users are already aware of the precautions they should take in their daily lives, but here again we need to emphasize the following precautions. 1. Electromagnetic interference: Cochlear implant users may experience interference when passing through some instruments and equipment, but this is a temporary phenomenon that will not cause damage to the cochlear implant or harm the user’s ear. This is a temporary phenomenon that will not cause damage to the cochlear implant or harm the user’s ear. 2. Static electricity: A large part of the problems that occur during the use of cochlear implants is due to static electricity. Static interference causes two main failures: First, the program in the speech processor is lost, which occurs most often, but is also easily recovered and can be re-entered directly into the program by going to a medical facility. The second is a rare but serious consequence, causing damage to the implant. A few reports have come from children playing with plastic slides and causing the cochlear implant system to malfunction. Static electricity is a common occurrence around us, and the following situations require precautions to reduce static interference: (1) Children’s plastic playgrounds: For example, plastic slides, crawl tunnels, colorful ball pools, small castles, etc. When children will enter the playground before playing, please remove the speech processor for children, just shut down is not enough, there is still the possibility of static electricity to destroy the internal program of the processor. (2) school laboratory class: for example, physics laboratory class in the electrostatic experiments, please remove the processor all equipment. (3) clothing wear: daily clothing to wear cotton clothes is the best, to reduce friction between clothes and generate high electrostatic. Please note and remember the following advice: clothes on and then turn on the speech processor, and take off the speech processor before undressing. (4) Perming: Flat irons or ionic irons use an applied voltage current to generate heat and are not recommended for use on users with cochlear implants. (5) Exiting the vehicle: To avoid static shock to the processor when exiting the vehicle, the cochlear implant user should keep their hand on the door until their foot is off the ground before releasing their hand. (6) Touching the speech processor: During the winter and dry seasons, the body may experience a natural accumulation of high-voltage electrostatic charges that can cause a discharge when you reach for the processor. Prevent the event can be taken as follows: when picking up their own or another person’s processor, touch another person’s body or grounded metal objects first (to reduce the degree of static electricity accumulation). (7) TV screens and computer screens: old-style fluorescent screens have static electricity accumulation, direct contact with the screen is not recommended. New-style LCD screens generally do not have static electricity problems. (8) Balloon game: Cochlear implant users should avoid rubbing the balloon to avoid electrostatic reactions that may cause the processor to lose programs. (9) Thunderstorms: If the cochlear implant user is outdoors in a thunderstorm area, please stay away from metal facilities and remove the speech processor for protection. If a child is uncomfortable during a thunderstorm due to the loud sound of thunder, it is recommended that the speech processor be removed at this time. 3. Security systems: The most common security system is a commercial system installed at the entrances and exits, which generally does not cause harm to your machine, but occasionally some users will pass through this security system and trigger an alarm, so it is advisable to carry medical certificates for cochlear implants. Airport security measures such as metal screening gates use magnetic induction, which may result in the loss of programs in the speech processor, so it is best to turn off your machine if you go through such systems. It is also possible that the implant may activate the metal detector alarm, so you can request a handheld metal detector for inspection. Passing through an X-ray scanner with the speech processor turned off will not cause any damage. If your airport has a special lane for people with disabilities, we recommend that you use this lane for security clearance. Again, bring your medical certificate and instructions for use of your cochlear implant. Cochlear implant users will inevitably become ill and seek medical treatment in their daily lives, and some medical procedures may affect cochlear implant users. The following medical procedures may damage cochlear tissues or cochlear implant facilities, and are listed here in the hope of alerting cochlear implant users to reduce the risk of using cochlear implants. 1. Surgery: Caution is required when using electrically charged surgical instruments during surgery. Monopolar electrodes or electrocoagulation (a spacer on the patient’s back or buttocks during surgery) should not be used, and bipolar electrodes or electrocoagulation should not be used in an area closer than two centimeters to the implant. 2. Heating physiotherapy: This type of heating treatment is mainly used to relieve pain, relax joints, promote inflammation and speed up wound healing. Short wave or microwave heating is not recommended because of the risk of damage to the cochlear implant. 3. Cranial nerve stimulation: Some tests require electrical stimulation during cranial nerve function tests, which are generally not recommended for cochlear implant users. 4. Epileptic Discharge Treatment: This method is used to reduce abnormal bioelectrical signals from epileptic lesions in the brain by applying an electrical current to the lesions, and must be prohibited for cochlear implant users. 5. Dentistry: Dental drills generally do not affect the implant, but if the drill handle has a test function similar to electrical stimulation, cochlear implant users should avoid using it. 6. Ultrasonic examinations or treatments: No damage to the cochlear system has been found when using diagnostic ultrasound for examinations or ultrasonic scalers. However, it is not recommended that the ultrasound probe be pointed directly at the implant and that the speech processor be turned off during the examination. 7. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Users with a cochlear implant should avoid going near the area of the MRI as much as possible. If MRI is necessary, please contact your original cochlear implant surgical team. 8. X-ray: It is generally recommended that the speech processor be turned off during an X-ray. 9. Other medical devices: Medical devices have a variety of roles, so please contact your physician beforehand if you are unsure of their use.
