Raise the artificial ear on the arm to create a hearing device

Stelarc, a professor at Curtin University in Australia and a well-known performer, implanted a bi-polymer ear under the skin of his arm. Within 6 months, the tissues and blood vessels have grown around the ear and not just stop there, Stelarc's goal is to turn this ear into a public hearing device.

Artificial ear is a hearing device

This is part of Stelarc's art project and a test of artificial ears on the arm he has studied for nearly a decade. Stelarc said the next step would be to grow a lobe of the ear on his own stem cell. Then he would integrate a microphone with a wireless transmitter into his ear so that it would connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. This will allow people online to hear what the hearing ear is hearing. After all, the ear can have GPS capabilities and people can watch Stelarc as well as the ear from the Internet.

In an interview with ABC News, Stelarc said: "This ear is not for me, I have two ears that are good enough to hear, this ear is a remote listening device for everyone. They will be able to watch a conversation or hear the sound of a concert, or maybe the sound from anywhere I'm there, no matter where you are ... try to see if How can I listen to someone's ears in New York? " Stelarc had previously attempted to integrate a microphone, but he had an infection and was forced to remove it.

Stelarc has sought to erase the boundaries between humans and machines for many years. In a 2013 interview with the motherboard, Stelarc shared his career as well as his experiment with this wig ear that got a lot of reactions from dashing to horror. "I hope people will become curious about what's in a real body and how a body functions in the real world."
