Mine is titanium. It replaced the small bones in my inner ear because they were distroyed by a cholesteatoma.
After the surgery I asked the doctor if I could see the pictures. I guess that's not a frequent request. Lol! The implant looks like a tiny ladder with the corners cut off.
I have noticed recently that my hearing is slowly deteriorating. My fear is that the tumor is back. I live near the Hough Institute. I just need to make an appointment.
Duh.
