That sounds like great news for the high quads. I personally wouldn't want my tongue pierced but if it gave me better mobility I'd go for it. I never used a sip-n-puff but I always thought there should be a better way. That would be great freedom for them especially if worked on remotes,etc.

There is a better way then sip-n-puff, I have a head array and it works good for driving but this tongue ring thing looks like it could control a lot more devices.

I just wonder what happens when you talk or cough or even yawn?
