Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) as a Cause of Facial Nerve Stimulation After Cochlear Implantation: A Case Report

Abstract: Objective: To discuss persistent facial nerve stimulation (FNS) related to repeated electrostatic discharge (ESD) shock following cochlear implantation. Methods: Single case report with literature review. Results: FNS is a feared complication after cochlear implantation, occurring in approximately 7% of cases, with most patients having anatomic abnormalities. The presented case has no anatomical abnormalities but reported frequent environmental static shock. FNS during the first 1 to 3 seconds of processor att… Show more

“…Furthermore, given the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), the potential for EM interactions is increasing. Sources of EM interference that caused patient illness included wireless networks [20], swimming pool generators [85], water pumps [86], electrostatic discharge from fleece clothing [87], co-existing implanted devices [88], surgical equipment [89], plastic toys [90], hot tubs [91], electrical installations [92] and consumer devices such as Fitbits [93]. Asher et al describe a case of a patient's e-cigarette interacting with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), and a 55F with an ICD which reverted to magnet mode due to interference with the patient's fitness watch [93].…”
