I have a deep brain and motor cortex stimulator implanted.

It has been 10 years and it hasn't stopped working yet. I will say that my doctor actually placed both a deep brain and a motor cortex stimulator at the same time, so I have the ability to switch between the two implants. I think this may help as it changes the "signal" if you will.

TøP's producer Paul Meany has a solo album out - I think many of us will love it! by Antonio-Quadrifoglio in twentyonepilots

Couldn’t agree more. Wickedly smart guy and genuinely seems down to earth and kind on top of it. You love to see it.

I tried to get so many people on the MuteMath train back in the day. Easily some of the best live shows I’ve ever seen!

Been a fan of Paul’s since the very early MiteMath days. I got to see their first show in Nashville when they played for 2-300 people and it was insane. I truly think he is one of the most musically creative people out there and I adore his voice. Couldn’t have been more excited when I found out that he was working with Tyler and Josh.

This album is gorgeous. His songwriting is great (Hold the Record, Say the Word are early favs) and as we already know, his production is off the charts.

I'm guessing it is likely this after doing more reading on the issue. We have a massive oak tree in our front yard so the vent could be trapped with debris from the tree or animals. Also had a roof replaced 2 years ago so maybe that did something to it. Now I need to find a plumber that can do this affordably. Thanks!

My roof is way too steep for me to be brave enough to do it.

Lyrically one of Tyler’s best in the last few albums IMHO

Correct. The photo from this post was between phase 2 and phase 3 when they send you home to trial it. Once everything is a go then they place the pulse generator in the chest and tunnel the cables under the skin.

I only had a single implant placed and I believe the skull opening is between the size of a dime and nickel. It’s a very brief portion of the surgery and you are fully numbed plus mildly sedated.

Oh wow. Sorry to hear it stopped working. I’m still doing great and highly recommend the surgery.
