See, they only work for ppl who have those nerves intact but have screwed-up earbones or eardrum or sound transmission into that shell thing.
Ever hear of Kevin Warwick? He's a British guy that thinks way to much of himself. He implanted a RFID chip in his arm and then wrote a book about himself being the first ever true cyborg.
I think that people with cochleat implants have first stake in that field if anyone ever wanted to find the "first true cyborg".
Kevin Warwick's claim is just plain lame. I mean, if a pet has an RFID chip implanted, which is done quite often now, does that make your pet a cyborg?!?
"Oooh, I got a bionic dog !!!" Pfffft. I just remembered. There was actually a show about a bionic dog. First the bionic man, then woman, boy, girl and finally came the bionic dog. 70s SciFi. *Shudder*

I heard of some guy doing something like that, too. I immediately dismissed it because it's so retarded.
