does anyone else with hearing implants (cochlear or baha) experience significant hair loss around the areas where the internal device lies? it’s so frustrating for me and i’ve had to shave the sides of my head because of the thinness of the hair.

17M I’ve had cholesteatoma since I was five and have had dozens of surgeries since then to remove it and rebuild damage. Recently my doctor suggested a canal-wall-down mastoidectomy which I received last week. What are others experiences with it, especially at a young age. What are some problems that arose or things I should look out for
