There are definitely FCC regs in regard to cochlear implants tho up til 
now I did not even think about it.  I have one cochlear implant so am 
finding this interesting but I missed the beginning of it.

	I believe the processor works at 5mHz but not  certain. I can see the 
BWPs not causing any interference, they are bigger this the innards are 
not as cramped.
