[QUOTE="drphil, post: 1633397, member: 41364"] The pictures above are from Michael Chorost's book "Rebuilt". The history of his Hearing impairment as a child/ adult, going deaf and getting an Implant. The book is well worth reading as a great deal of history of Implants is included. I disagree with his idea that an Implant "makes one like a cyborg". The picture of the skull showing the processor is on the cover and his picture with his then current Implant is on page 51. I believe he has an older model with processor at belt level. I actually read the book a few days before getting my Implant. Rebuilt-how becoming a part computer made me more human. Michael Chorost Houghton Mifflin Company Boston/New York 2005 232 pages. I made a reference to his book previously in error as "Rebirth" Advanced Bionics Harmony Atria-activated Aug/07 [/QUOTE]
