I have something that by your definition, makes me a cyborg. I have an artificial ear, specifically, a cochlear implant. I lost my hearing several years ago in an accident and I was an optimal canidate for the procedure. The external battery and program is on a belt clip, a wire runs up to a magnetically attached microphone behind my ear. Beneath my skin, capacitors fire in my middle ear to reproduce sound. All said and done, I have about 75% hearing. YMMV. I take it off at night, or when I don't want to hear my wife complain. Each rechargable battery last approximatly 12 hours.
And the company who makes the implant? Advanced Bionics.
