‘Loud & clear’ lawsuit
A Long Island woman who hoped a surgically implanted device would save her hearing claims it immediately failed — and that the component’s maker was deaf to her needs, according to a lawsuit.
Jeanine Tansey, 36, was stricken by inner-ear auto- immune disorder in 2009, quickly rendering her almost completely deaf. She had a cochlear implant placed in each ear, according to a Brooklyn Federal Court lawsuit she filed last week.
The provider, Cochlear Limited, failed to mention that the cochlear implant Tansey used had been subjected to a global recall, she alleges in her claim.
