Goodbye AirPods: Elon Musk wants you to hear music without your ears

We have already said that a presentation of Neuralink is scheduled for August 28, in which its founder, Ilon Musk, will talk about the latest advances in the field of brain chipping technology. Meanwhile, the American billionaire couldn't help commenting on Twitter and announced one of the potentials of this technology.
Computer technology expert Austin Howard asked Musk if he could ever use the Neuralink interface to listen to music. According to Mask, that opportunity will really come.
If we implement neuralink - can we listen to music directly from our chips? Great resource.

Thus, with the help of a chip, the sound waves will be sent directly to the brain, bypassing the ear and the vestibular cochlear nerve, responsible for the transmission of auditory impulses, as well as the impulses coming from the vestibular part of the inner ear.
Today, sound transmission based on bone conduction technology will not surprise anyone, but the transmission of sound directly through the stimulation of neurons is really something new.
We still know little about what Neuralink is working on specifically. His only presentation took place in 2019, where Elon Musk showed a certain chip that will be connected to the brain using special wires. The installation of these threads will be carried out by a robotic device, similar to a large weaving machine.
According to Musk, previous versions of the Neuralink device will help restore damaged neural connections in people with diseases like Parkinson's disease.
In a conversation with another user, Elon Musk confirmed that, using Neuralink technology, it will be possible to control the production of various hormones, for example, oxytocin and serotonin, reducing stress levels in people suffering from post-traumatic syndrome.
To implement the designed mask, new brains are needed. The head of Neuralink announced via Twitter about the search for new talented engineers versed in sound technology.
