Great news. I hope that Rush's Christmas 'gift' is the best ever. Glad he didn't have to ask Hilarycare permission to have the surgery performed...

This is really great news for all the Rush dittoheads around the world. I had great confidence that thi would all work out for the best. We will most certainly need his knowledge and wisdom as the 2002 election season approaches. This is really great news. I'm so happy about this.
Regards.

from the way he talks it doesn't even sound like he needs it.

but i know he must really be hurting to not hear the callers, music and just sounds, period!

good luck rush,
and the lib/socialists are probably gritting their teeth now since they most likely were giddy thinking you would not be broadcasting anymore.

HA effing HA!!!

He wouldn't have had to ask for permission with Hillary care. He just would have had to wait a little longer. 10 or 15 years longer.

How cochlear implants work. Sound picked up by a microphone (1) travels through a cable to a speech processor (2), worn on a belt, in a pocket, or on the ear, that converts the signal into eletrical pulses. The pulses travel back up the cable to a transmitter (3), fastened to the head, which sends the coded pulses through the skin to a receiver-stimulator (4 and 5) implanted in bone directly beneath the transmitter. The stimulator relays the signal down a bundle of tiny wires threaded directly into the cochlea, activating nerve fibers that in turn send the signal to the auditory nerve and on to the brain.
