Michael Chorost became a cyborg on October 1, 2001, the day his new ear was booted up.Born hard of hearing in 1964, he went completely deaf in his thirties. Rather than live in silence, he had a small computer chip implanted in his skull that would allow him to hear. This is the story of Chorost's journey - from deafness to hearing, from human to cyborg - and how it transformed him.
