EXTRA EAR: EAR ON ARM

An extra ear is presently being surgically constructed on my arm; an ear that not only will hear but will also transmit. A miniature microphone will be implanted so that when connected to a Bluetooth transmitter, people in other places will be able to listen to what the ear is hearing wherever they are and wherever I am. When electronically complete, it will form part of a distributed bluetooth headset. I will be able to speak to the remote person through Extra Ear but will hear the sound of the person speaking to me in my mouth. If my mouth is closed, only I will be able to hear the individual; if I open my mouth, and someone is close by, they will hear the sound of the remote person eminating from my body. We have evolved soft internal organs to better function in the world. We can now engineer external, internet enabled organs, to better function in the technological terrain that we currently inhabit.
