And credit where its due, here’s a man who is living life to full.
I hope he does get the treatment for his eyes.
*”The procedure was a good deal more advanced than his first ear operation in 1925, which was carried out with a hammer and chisel.”*
How medicine has advanced in just 100 years.
Cochlear implants are fucking incredible.
An outside reciever to capture sound, this then activates a device implanted subdermally on the head behind the ear which transmits signals directly to the nerves of the inner ear. Bypassing most of the systems of hearing, the last thing you can possibly work before we have to get real scifi and start prodding brain signals.
He could have just gone out of the cocoon if he wanted to hear.
The human technology is really impressive to watch as it progresses each year. Good for the man.
Who makes these? Like, what would someone study in school to be involved in something like this?
