A Bionic ear is an ear replacement that has 125% efficiency, increases [[hearing]] by 12.5% per ear attached.

It can be purchased from traders or crafted for {{icon|plasteel|10}} and {{icon|advcomponent|3}}.

-A '''Bionic ear''' is an [[artificial body part]] that replaces the ear and provides 125% part efficiency, improving the [[hearing]] of the implantee.
-== Acquisition ==
+A Bionic ear is an ear replacement that has 125% efficiency, increases [[hearing]] by 12.5% per ear attached.
-Bionic ears can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.
-They can also be [[Trade|bought]] from exotic traders, [[Empire]] traders, and at [[Outlander]] [[faction base]]s. They are also sometimes offered as a [[quest]] reward.
+It can be purchased from traders or crafted for {{icon|plasteel|10}} and {{icon|advcomponent|3}}.
-== Summary ==
+{{nav/body_parts}}
-Bionic ears replace the user's [[Table of Human Body Parts|organic ear]]. They are universal and can be installed on either the left or right side. It has a part efficiency of 125%, which impacts [[Hearing]]. It also removes the "''Disfigured''" [[social|opinion penalty]] from other pawns when missing an ear.
-The more capable ear is responsible for 75% of Hearing. For pawn with 2 healthy ears, installing a 1 bionic ear increases hearing by 19%. Note that {{hover title|1.3.3200|as of the time of writing}}, hearing over 100% does not improve any [[stat]] beyond that which an healthy pawn would already have.{{#if:{{#ask: [[Hearing Limit::>1.0001]]}}|{{Check Tag|Update Needed|Something is higher than 1}}}}
-=== Installation ===
-Installing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 2x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.
-Removing the part requires {{ticks|2000}} of work, 1x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and has no [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] requirements.
-If the operation fails, the part will be destroyed.
-== Analysis ==
-The [[hearing]] capacity only affects two different work types:
-# [[Work#Incapable_of_work_types|Social]] - Wardening and Trade; and
-# [[Work#Incapable_of_work_types|Animals]] - Taming and Training
-Hearing also affects social interaction between pawns, so an implant will ''slightly'' increase their chances to share a [[double bed]].
-While superior to a [[cochlear implant]], bionic ears only affect those 2 work types, and only up to 100% Hearing.  The ''only'' pawns that will benefit from a bionic ear are those who serve one/both of those roles ''and'' have damaged hearing. There is 0 benefit to installing a bionic ear on a healthy pawn, except for [[body modder]]s and transhumanists{{IdeologyIcon}} but unless they are performing the social/animal roles, the cheaper [[cochlear implant]] serves just as well.
-A pawn with hearing loss will reach >100% hearing with 1 bionic ear. A pawn deaf in or missing both ears would get only 94% Hearing from a single bionic ear, but a bionic ear + cochlear implant would push hearing to 110%.
