That sensor continuously vibrates and is known to cause frequent vertigo attacks, without advance warning. If you any vehicle, most Dept. of Motor Vehicles prohibit driving for those who have vertigo or seizures that are not controlled and stable. If your job involves operating anything mechanical or sharp, you should consider questioning how the results of the surgery would affect your job. After the surgery and after the device is fully operational, are you prepared to have every tiny sound in your environment become loud and pounding in your head?
Others have already addressed the inaccuracy of some of your statements. I’ll address this one. The implanted sensor is a sensor and does not vibrate; it’s a sensor and doesn’t move. The stimulator doesn’t vibrate; it’s purely a tiny electrical current.
Vertigo can happen after surgery but it’s usually transient, although there’s a small risk of it being ongoing. It’s certainly not as big a problem as your comment implies. In my own case, I can still ride my unicycle, mountain bike, offtrail running, and perform microsurgery.
The sound can be “tuned” somewhat by the audiologist when adjusting the processor after implantation so annoying sounds are cut out and more important sounds are enhanced.
