Light opens up a world of sound for the deaf

That is interesting. The article seems to see it reproduces something closer to natural hearing.
 
interesting. i wonder how long it will take before this concept actually comes to fruition?
 
That sounds awesome. Hope it works out like they are thinking and hoping it would.

Fiber Optics is a special plastic that is made into thin strands, about the size of human hair. Light travels through those strands of plastic.

Laser is taking a light and condense all those light into one tiny area. Imagine all the lights that is coming from a light bulb and putting that light onto one little dot. That is pretty much laser in a nutshell.

Now, the fiber optic strand will carry that laser light from one end to other.

That is why fiber optics is fast cause it carries information at almost speed of light.
