Topic: pain at the cochear implant site

Hi, My daughter who is 19 has had her cochlear impants for several years.  Recently, she has been having stinging/pain where the magnet is.  I think it might be due to the fact that she wears 1 side or the other side each night when she is away at college.  Has this every happened to anyone and if so, what did you do to fix it.  I spoke with the audiologist and she said she can't wear them anymore at night, but what should we do in the meantime.  Thanks.

It hurts my implants to sleep on them too, even with soft pillows... Can she set up a door alarm system with a strobe light so she can feel safe sleeping deaf?
