Bluetooth LE bone conductive implant.
So I know that people with tragus implants talk about the volume issue. The magnets are kind of far from your real ear and thus don't produce very much sound. My idea is to do a bluetoothLE headset hack with a conductive charger and a bone conductive speaker.
and get the charger from this: http://www.amazon.com/1000-Electric-Rechargeable-Toothbrush-Powered/dp/B003UKM9CO/ref=zg_bs_3778341_1
and then basically follow this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI45eqEjaeU
This those 3 things I think I can make the smallest bluetooth bone conductive headset.
I will modify the charger from the toothbrush with magnets and make sure magnets on on the board, this will allow me to just snap on the charger while I see or something.
I could also use the headset as a "trusted device" on my phone and my phone will lock if it doesn't see my headset on, and if it dies I still have my other "trusted device" my NFC chip. so I and only I should always be able to unlock my phone.
What does everyone think?
Does anyone else want to do anything like this?
On a crazy scale of 1-10 how bad is this idea? (still going to do it though)

Heat. Small at times equals heat with extended use. Just something to consider.
Silicone: Don't do it man. Trust me here.. The spray silicone type your talking about is absolutely not implant grade stuff. You might be able to get away with it but I'm not so sure. Furthermore, Silicone does allow for the passage of fluids. Slowly but surely, it will get to your device. Fluid is an issue even with thick thick coatings of the stuff, so a very thin coat will cause your board to be exposed to fluids in no time. The texture of it is good though. You wouldn't want something hard under thin skin like where you're proposing to implant it.
Consider other options with the coating.
I was thinking how about a battery pack that you can put on kinda like a head band that will simply snap in place by magnet or something similar.
Edit: I should also add I only had this happen one time with a heating pad and never had it occur again. Whether or not it had something to do directly to the heat or a combination of things I don't know. I thought it may have been worth mentioning since an induction charger produces heat like a heat pad and is active for an extended period of time.
Not many implants that I have seen talked about produce heat like an induction charger which specifically uses heat which is why I had brought it up.
