Just picked this thread up again after a week away and am now worried 
)): I have a novel out (called "Counting the Clouds") with a hero who has auditory neuropathy and I'm wondering if I've used any inappropriate terms...
But, to stay on the topic, Ryan, my first question would be: have you done a patent/IP search to see who else might be working on this? Having the good idea is generally the easy bit. Finding a commercial route to a product may involve steering round other developments in the field, and you are working in a very popular area.
