The Little Black Wire

The little black wire that connects my speech processor to the magnet which sends signals to my cochlear implant has a small tear in its housing. I was warned by the audiologist that many CI wearers are damaging their cables.

The MED-EL kit contains a back-up wire and another one which is much longer (I think). I am going to change out my wire so as not to damage this one any more. Maybe I can find someone who works with electronics who has some kind of glue or something that can fill in the gap.

Anyone else have this problem?
