Upgrade your ears: Elective auditory implants give you cyborg hearing
2013-04-01 15:58:46| Extremetech
Cochlear implants have successfully restored hearing to thousands of deaf individuals. With advances in microelectronics, their footprint has steadily shrunk to the point where a fully implantable hearing device is now a reality -- the microphone can even be put under the skin. As the technological limitations of these devices evolve into socio-economic limitations, a new question arises: what if you dont have to lose your hearing to get an implant?
