This is an attempt by the scientists to produce for normal hearing people a little sample of how people with cochlear implants hear so you\u2019ll know what it\u2019s like. So the CD arrives, and I gave it to Brian and said, “Put this thing in the CD player. I\u2019m supposedly track such-and-such on setting such-and-such.” So Brian listened to it and said, “Well, all I hear is a bunch of distortion!” <\/line>I said, “That\u2019s the point!” and had a good laugh. I had to ask if he thought that there was something wrong with the CD when he first heard it, or if he was commenting on it overall. He said that some of the CD tracks actually sound pretty good. That\u2019s about all they can do, approximate it, because I can\u2019t tell them, “Yeah, it sounds like that,” and they cannot hear as I do because they don\u2019t have implants. <\/line>I\u2019ve asked Brian and others who hear the CD to think of something that they\u2019ve heard that sounds like the track matching my hearing. We\u2019re also going to try to get some cuts of the sound up here at RushLimbaugh.com.<\/emphasize> Mr. Snerdly has already said that it sounds like an AM radio station off tune, that it has an electronic component to it. Some tracks don\u2019t sound anything like normal hearing, but others do, because the CD represents those various levels of advancement implant recipients have.<\/line>When I came back, I said that things sounded like a microcassette recorder. I hissed and described the tape hiss. Apparently, this CD track is like me hearing what I sound like to myself, only reproduced by a doctor on an estimate basis. I listened to the CD myself, but I don\u2019t know what they would sound like to someone with normal hearing. Anyway, I guess it\u2019s pretty close if the reaction is distortion. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
