There's a HUGE difference between politics and fandom. [though actually, i did it just for the joke].
as for the "implant"...hmm. generally, we haven't really been able to determine the actual stress limit for most of our nerves, aside from touch, because the sensor system itself (ear drum, retina, olfactory cavity, actual taste buds) usually gets overloaded and burn out first [a fact we share with most of our inventions, mind you].
the other thing about such an implant would be that the aural nerve alone wouldn't do it. "feeling" it is important (if it wasn't, we wouldn't bother with the ".1"), so would such a think also make you feel like you're vibrating?
