1. A specialty garment accessory to be used in conjunction with a pair of cochlear implants respectively implanted into a respective cochlea in a respective side of a person's human skull and bypasses the middle ear to the cochlea that stimulates the auditory nerve so that the person can hear, on the outside of the person's head are first and second magnetic microphones respectively on either side of a person's head which are respectively magnetically attached to an internal hearing restoration device that is implanted on both sides of the skull, a first sound and power cord attached at one end to the first magnetic microphone and attached at its opposite end to a first driving unit/sound processor and a second sound and power cord attached at one end to the second magnetic microphone and attached at its opposite end to a second driving unit/sound processor, the accessory comprising:
a. a specialty garment accessory having a body terminating in an open upper neck collar having an enclosed circumferential opening, the body of the specialty garment accessory having an outside and an inside, a first loop affixed on the inside of the body adjacent the open upper neck collar, a second loop affixed on the inside of the body adjacent the open upper neck collar and is oppositely disposed to and generally parallel to the first loop, a first pocket retained on an outside section of a first sleeve of the specialty garment accessory, the first pocket having a lower section surrounding an interior chamber with an opening leading to the interior chamber of the first pocket and a first retaining member affixed inside the interior chamber and extends across a width of the interior chamber of the first pocket and an upper covering section enclosing the first pocket with a closing member which enables the cover to enclose the first pocket, the first pocket having an interior surface and an opening extending through the interior surface to the interior of the specialty garment accessory, a second pocket retained on an outside section of a second sleeve of the specialty garment accessory, the second pocket having a lower section surrounding an interior chamber with an opening leading to the interior chamber of the second pocket and a second retaining member affixed inside the interior chamber and extends across a width of the interior chamber of the second pocket and an upper covering section enclosing the second pocket with a closing member which enables the cover to enclose the second pocket, the second pocket having an interior surface and an opening extending through the interior surface to the interior of the specialty garment accessory; b. the first sound and power cord extending from a proximal end affixed to the first magnetic microphone through the first loop and extending along the interior of the specialty garment accessory so that a distal end of the first sound and power cord extends through a first opening in the interior surface of the first pocket of the specialty garment accessory and is connected to the first driving unit/sound processor which is retained in the interior chamber of the lower section of the first pocket and affixed to the first retaining member in the first pocket by a clip of the first driving unit/sound processor with the first cover covering the lower section of the first pocket and retained thereto by a first retaining member so that the first sound and power cord is mostly concealed within the specialty garment accessory and the first driving unit/sound processor is concealed with a first water proof connection within the first pocket while the first magnetic microphone and first driving unit/sound processor are operational, and are protected from water damage if the person engages in swimming; and c. the second sound and power cord extending from a proximal end affixed to the second magnetic microphone extending through the second loop and extending along the interior surface of the second pocket of the specialty garment accessory so that a distal end of the second sound and power cord extends through a second opening in the interior surface of the second pocket of the specialty garment accessory and is connected to the second driving unit/sound processor which is retained in the interior chamber of the lower section of the second pocket and affixed to the second retaining member in the second pocket by a clip of the second driving unit/sound processor with the second cover covering the lower section of the second pocket and retained thereto by a second retaining member so that the second sound and power cord is mostly concealed within the specialty garment accessory and the second driving unit/sound processor is concealed with a water proof connection within the second pocket while the second magnetic microphone and second driving unit/sound processor are operational, and are protected from water damage if the person engages in swimming; d. whereby the first loop affixed on the inside of the body adjacent to the upper neck collar is sized so that the first magnetic microphone will not fall out of the first loop if the first magnetic microphone is dislodged and the second loop affixed on the inside of the body adjacent to the upper neck collar is sized so that the second magnetic microphone will not fall out of the second loop if the second magnetic microphone is dislodged and the first sound and power cord will not cross the second sound and power cord when the specialty garment accessory is used in water. |
