What is an ear chip?
A cochlear implant is a small, complex electronic device that can help to provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing. The implant consists of an external portion that sits behind the ear and a second portion that is surgically placed under the skin (see figure).
Can the RFID chip be removed?
When correctly performed the RFID chip can be disabled or destroyed without visible damage or marking to whatever item or device containing the chip.
How do I know if I have a chip in my body?
The best way to check for an implant would be to have an X-ray performed. RFID transponders have metal antennas that would show up in an X-ray. You could also look for a scar on the skin. Because the needle used to inject the transponder under the skin would be quite large, it would leave a small but noticeable scar.
How do I scan my body for a microchip?
Go no faster than a half-foot per second and scan in an "S" pattern from the neck down the back. If you don't find a chip, keep scanning down the legs, around the neck and shoulders, and then down both sides.
