gollark: There are a bunch of useless external ones around, and I think are fairly cheap, if useless.
gollark: True, but it would probably help.
gollark: Also, learn biology.
gollark: If you don't want external stuff all the time - which would defeat the point anyway - you would need a battery. Those have problems like needing replacement, and exploding/melting/bad things if used wrong.
gollark: You could also duct-tape a Bluetooth speaker to a hat for a similar system without the complexities of actually implanting it.
