In fact, hundreds of thousands of people are already taking advantage of this with cochlear implants, a type of hearing aid which mimics sound in the brain through electrical impulses.

And there's a history of other implanted devices like cardiac pacemakers and cochlear hearing devices that also have privacy concerns.

So for a film that's so much about sound, we felt it was really important to, right from the beginning sequence, put the audience into her shoes and what it's like to live with a cochlear implant.

The development of the bionic ear, or cochlear implant, would not be an easy journey and demanded courage, determination, and

into electrical energy which traveled across the cochlear nerve to the cochlear nucleus
Well, first of all, the sound waves had to leave my lips, travel through the ear, enter your external auditory meatus, travel down to the tympanic membrane, set up a vibratory force, which travel across the ossicles of the middle ear to the oval and round windows, set up a vibratory force in the endolymph, mechanically distort at the microciliary, converting mechanical energy to electrical energy which travel across the cochlear nerve to the cochlear nucleus at the pontomedullary junction, from there to the superior olivary nucleus descending bilaterally up the brainstem through the lateral meniscus to the inferior calyclus and the median geniculate nuclei across the thalamic radiations to the posterior temporal lobes to begin the auditory processing for that through the frontal lobes, coming down the tract of Victor's ureter, retrieving the memory from the immediate hippocampal structure to the mammary bodies back to the frontal lobes to start the motor response at the Betzell level, coming down the corticospinal tract across the internal capsule into the cerebral peduncle, descending down to the cervicomedullary decussation.
Children born deaf who receive a cochlear implant before the age of three tend to develop near typical speech, whereas those who have it implanted after the age of seven often face ongoing difficulties.

They use pacemakers, insulin pumps, contraceptives, devices to monitor health and disease, and cochlear implants for hearing.
