Have you contacted Lutron at all? Or your implant manufacturer? Something seems out of alignment.

I contacted the implant manufacturer when I became aware of the issue.. apparently there is even a warning that ultrasonics can damage it.. but it's not clear to me if that's just legalese or if it's actually a clear and present danger.

I haven't contacted Lutron yet which is bad of me, and I really should do that, but I don't think they would care since the amount of people who can identify that there's a problem with their devices is small.

Lutron may not care about you but they may care about an article in the news about how their products are harming people.

Today disability is an issue that is taken seriously. If Lutron's technology is affecting your disability then you should absolutely contact them, and barring a satisfactory solution you might even get aggressive with them. They cannot hurt you, arguing that people like you are rare.

Anxiety can be classified as a disability. Does that mean you can’t make someone anxious? That would be fun to see enforced.
