I know you're being facetious, but the device sitting on his ear looks like a similar design to a regular hearing aid. If that's the case, the volume control will be located on the part that sits behind his ear.

Youre tempting me to be facetious again!!.

Hearing aids are nothing like Cochlear implants.

A cochlear implant is an electronic medical device that replaces the function of the damaged inner ear. Unlike hearing aids, which make sounds louder, cochlear implantsdo the work of damaged parts of the inner ear (cochlea) to provide sound signals to the brain.

So basically he has superhuman healing. Cool.
 
I have that t-shit. Slays them at school.
Such a funny movie too.

Walking around trying to find their way out....

I very much doubt you will ever see a runner out to Sam to pass on intructions. He will be able to hear them coming straight from Bucks in the coaches box and will have executed the instructions before he has even finished his sentence.

But will he be known as

I'm aware of the differences in how they work. The asthetic design however, is similar, so the volume control could well be in the same spot.

Is there anything you aren't an expert in?
 
This might help demonstrate what's actually happening with a cochlear implant.

As far as I am aware there is no " volume control" or at least not one the patient can use. The technicians tweak it on a regular basis to ensure it works at optimum comfort and efficiency but the user can't just dial it up to eleven when he wants that extra oomph to push it over the cliff.

That last bits for saintly!

Setting the Volume and Sensitivity Controls

Through a series of external controls, the child, parent, teacher, or therapist can adjust the volume and sensitivity of the unit. Most parents are familiar with volume controls from the use of the child’s FM or hearing aid. These act in a similar manner on the cochlear implant.

Many thanks.
Great and easy to follow information.

Ps by your previous posts, I know you have a lot of real life understanding of these issues.
I appreciate your posts.
 
I wonder what would go through Sam's head if he read half of the ignorant shit some of the people here are saying. Who cares about his ear! He looks to have the makings of a great defender and appears to be a decent kid. Plus anyone would be an improvement on frost

Deafness can ruin your career though.

I never heard anyone, including myself, say "put down that beer & or pizza".

I guess it's more of the selective type of deafness though.
