Feel like it should’ve been a false tooth instead. Perhaps of blue color.

With bone conduction audio via adjacent teeth, that would be achievable, less invasive and probably easier to avoid detection of.

Seems like the company went out of business because medicaid didn't cover it. I would be curious if such a device exists that could pair with a phone or laptop. A broken tooth could be capped with one of these false tooth implants and so long as there's a hygienic way to remove and clean + charge it I'd be very curious to try one.

They weren't exactly as small and subtle as a false tooth: https://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sonitus.p... and http://rolandocabral.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/soundbit...

If you're going to go the bone conduction route, then why not just bluetooth glasses?

From WP:
> SoundBite was developed and marketed by Sonitus Medical, Inc. The company filed for bankruptcy on Thursday, January 15, 2015,[1] as a result of the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' decision not to cover the device.[2]

And a poison gas, when you bite down, blow it into the face of the Baron, and he will feel the revenge for killing my wife. A revenge so storng, even the Mind Conditioning for Loyalty cannot even contain my hate and revenge.

They didn’t find the headset initially. They found the phone in an inner seam of his pants. I’m guessing that they used either metal or other detectors

Why not just waterproof it and keep it in your mouth, maybe temporarily affixed to a tooth...

There's a $1000 in there... or maybe there isn't. Know what I mean?
