Sudden hearing loss and tinnititus

I had Cochlear Osia surgery the end of November. After 3 weeks of healing I was fitted for the processor. Although the increased level of sound is welcome, ALL sounds are accompanied by very annoying static. I even had Cochlear exchange the processor but I am still experiencing the same static. Do I need further adjustments to be worked out between my audiologist and Cochlear’s audiologist? Is static a common complaint for the Osia implant? Or is this something my brain needs to adjust to?

Hi Joezz,
I get a bit of static from time to time with the Osia. Your audiologist should be able to minimize the noise as much as possible. I have made it a point to not focus on it and in doing so, I don't even notice if/when it happens now. I hope this helps.
