Cochlear implant

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
I have been in a number of discussions about deafness, signing and
SignWriting. Quite often, the Cochlear implant is mentioned as this
brilliant thing that makes deafness go away. My understanding is that while
it provides an amazing difference, in essence it is still a crutch. Now my
discussions are between hearing people. What I would love to have is a few
sound files that give an approximation of what a Cochlear implant does for a
deaf person.. I would like to have three sound files, one of a person
speaking English in a quiet background, the other of a person speaking
English in a noisy background (no music, just people talking) and the last a
sound file with 30 seconds of music followed by 30 seconds of the same
fragment as it was recorded.

I would be surprised if such sound files do not exist .. One extra
requirement, these files need to be available under a free licene because I
want to use them in the Wikipedia projects I am active in.
Thanks,
      Gerard
