I'll try to answer a few questions & briefly show my prototype. I'm still working on the device. If you have expertise to offer or you have questions leave them in the comments section.

Rich Lee had small magnets implanted into the cartilage near his ears
Also built a coil to wear around his neck - he says this creates a magnetic field that causes the implant to vibrate and make a sound
Can listen to music but also hopes to connect it to GPS so it gives him directions, and to link it to a microphone so he can hear other people's conversations
