| The transmitter, which was placed over the implant 
		just behind the ear, sends coded signals to the implant within the 
		cochlea. (Implant not shown.) If you ever wondered what speech would 
		sound like via a single electrode cochlear implant, wonder no more. 
		Here is a recording made by using an induction coil to pick up the 
		signal from the transmitter that is being sent to the implanted 
		electrode. Below is the link to the sound recording and below it is a 
		transcript of this recording. (Press your browser's back button to

		23 second recording "This is a test of the House 3M 
		single-channel cochlear implant speech processor approved by the FDA in 
		1984. This recording was made through an induction loop receiver. It 
		would appear that the signal produced is analog."
