Rich Lee has three magnetic implants in his body -- two in his ears, which he uses as "headphones."
"The implant in my fingertip is surrounded by sensitive nerves. Whenever the magnet passes by an electromagnetic field it moves in response. AC currents are especially noticeable. It almost feels like a texture. Basically it allows you to feel magnetic fields, which is an otherwise invisible world.
The implants in my ears are a bit different. I use a special transmitting coil which is worn around my neck or inside of a hat. That coil is plugged in to the headphone port of a device, such as a mobile phone. Sound from the device is carried through the coil in the form of electricity which creates a magnetic field. This of course causes the magnets in my ears to twitch and actually creates sound that I can hear in my implants. It is really cool. Most normal speakers work on a similar principle, except they usually use a magnet to move a coil, whereas I use the coil to move the magnet."
