I know you're joking but you should know the hearing from a cochlea implant is nowhere near as detailed as your current hearing. Your cochlea naturally has thousands of hair cells and the implant may have only a few hundred or up to a thousand probes (I'm not familiar with the very latest ones). Implanting the probe destroys any natural hearing you had before (not any more apparently) so you'd better be pretty sure about it before the surgery.
People with cochlea implants also need months or years of therapy in order to understand the signal the implant gives them and a not insignificant number of people never adjust. That is why they often do one ear at a time and usually the worse ear (gradual hearing loss is rarely symmetrical).
Dropping some $$$ on a good set of in ear headphones would be a better choice and cheaper.

My sister is studying music therapy. Do you have any advice for someone starting in this career? She has finished her degree, will start a masters next year and already assists a music therapist and cares for people with MS.
Any books or instruments I should buy her?

The nsync funeral is really sad when you think about it. Nobody yet has lead a long and happy life and also been a hardcore nsync fan.

Day or night? I'm barely cognizant of the concept of my own existence.

Plex!
