You may be visiting this website because you are concerned about your cochlear implant and whether it has failed due to a defect in the product. We would like to help. Our firm has a Deaf lawyer and VP available if you would like to discuss your situation.

Attorneys from our firm are currently representing those injured by failed cochlear implants, including certain of the Advanced Bionics HiResolution 90k (HiRes90k) and earlier Clarion implant model based on similar defects and failures.

The defective HiRes90k devices in question contain an alleged defective internal component of the cochlear implant device called the “feedthru” (or “feed-through”) manufactured by Astro Seal (mentioned in some Advanced Bionics notification letters to cochlear implant recipients as “Supplier B”). Astro Seal is also named as a defendant in the lawsuits. The feedthru is the part of the implanted internal component of the implant that conducts electrical signals from the hermetically (waterproof) sealed implanted part to the electrode array implanted in the cochlear nerve.

Potential clients may have received September 2004 or/and March 2006 “Important Notification” Letters from Advanced Bionics warning them of potential moisture failures with their cochlear implants. Advanced Bionics has provided a list of potential symptoms of moisture failure.

If you or your child has been implanted with a defective cochlear implant, we encourage you to contact us. The firm has a commitment to being accessible to Deaf individuals and their families and has sign language interpreters and videophone access available.
