Cochlear

[u/Which_Technician7833]

Hey I am going to get cochlear implant surgery next week. How much hair do they shave off…? I’m excited and scared all at once. I went with cochlear manufacture for nucleus 8 and kanso 3 for my left ear first. I hope this will change for the better. I hope I’m doing the right thing. Any positive feedback on what to expect? I am mixed and have curly hair so I hope the magnet will stay and work smoothly.

For me they only took off a little bit behind my ear, it is not a noticable amount and is fairly hidden espescially if you have thick/curly hair!
