I think it's based on the concept of cochlear implants, which have been used for deaf people for decades. It's not the same as natural hearing, but it's gotten very good. (I'm not deaf, but work in special education with deaf students)

I sincerely hope those "participanrs" were paid well. Messing in a persons brain with such andeveloped product can be dangerous.
