    Yeah I know it doesn’t have the resolution of ear drums and the implant is going to better but I wonder if someone can adapt to that lower resolution

      Almost certainly not. Touch is really just geared to detecting the presence or absence of vibration. I’d be surprised if you could get a double digit set of waveforms which could be reliably distinguished, let alone the endless combinations that make up normal hearing.
