Neither the cochlear implant nor the BAHA subcutaneous internal magnets generated sufficient magnetic field to reprogramme the valves of commonly used programmable VP shunts. The magnetic field from each device decreases dramatically at 10 mm. Further clinical studies to help mitigate the current restrictive guidance should consider involvement of VP shunt manufacturers to inform future shunt development and design.
