Wouldn't it be great if your brain can learn to compensate for the distortions of the titanium so that it sounds more natural? If some frequencies are coming through too strong and others too weak, then maybe your brain can adjust with practice?

Actually, it already has to some degree. Right after I had the surgery, I could barely hear low frequencies at all, and loud low frequencies were downright painful. It felt like someone was poking me with a sharp object deep inside my head. Very unpleasant to say the least. Now, as I said before, I am just sensitive which is a huge improvement comparably speaking. Also, I am so used to the 'water in the ear' quality of sound that I rarely notice it anymore. It just means I have to turn the TV up a little louder when I'm eating.
