What's your review of Cochlear Osia 2 System?

I got my Osia 2 in April 2021 just before I retired from the Navy...first one within the Dept of Defense, I believe. It has worked great but it seems every few weeks the area around the implant gets swollen and sore. Have you experienced anything like this? Due to an insurance technicality, I cannot go back to the surgeon and clinic who did the surgery and no one in the VA system has experience with this one yet.

I don't have the same brand as you do but I have AB Bionics. My audiologist changed out my magnet for one of less strength. I was not sore but the itching was driving me crazy. It's something to consider. It seems much less now although some days my scalp does itch. Something to consider.
It's a shame the VA is so slow with this as so many vets have hearing loss from their military duties.
