I'm hearing impaired and would love if some brain implant could fix me. I already almost have this, with a cochlear implant (it's not technically in the brain, but it is an implant in my head). It's not enough for me, though, cause my hearing still sucks.

Oh, I i thought the cochlear implants made it like being able to hear normally, is that not the case?

They can and I had hoped they were gonna for me. But my problem must be heavily neurological. The cochlear implant did help some, I'm a far cry from normal hearing (I especially struggle with accents, low tones, and when sounds overlap).
