pbs.org — What does the world sound like through a Cochlear implant? Alan Alda gives a pretty good insight as too what deaf people are hearing for the time. Click the "Next" button a couple of times to hear the changes. Pretty amazing what technology can do.

"hmmm... i thought it was weird how the last one still didn't sound "prefect", i would have thought that our technology would have been better then that."You have to remember, we are basically modding the human brain! The fact we can even do this much is, in and of itself, pretty frick'n amazing to me. It will get better with time, as will bionic eyes and ocular implants( <a class="user" href="http://www.seeingwithsound.com/etumble.htm">http://www.seeingwithsound.com/etumble.htm</a> ). Even with the less than perfect quality of today's implants, we should be amazed that we can do this at all.
