@arieswoman as @julieo4 mentioned, her implant cannot be subjected to MRI. Newer CI's can handle the radiation, supposedly. I understand that the only portion of the CI that needs to be removed for a MRI (IF the CI cannot withstand the MRI) is the magnet that is just under the skin. It would seem that if the audiologist doesn't answer the phone, there is another means for the MRI tech to know??? Maybe the worst that could happen is that you'd need a new magnet, which is a minor surgical procedure.
