Another interesting thing. I have a very good quality pair of old Sennheiser hd250 Mark ii headphones. If you drive them hard enough and place the headphones on your head and not your ears would you be able to feel the lower frequencies that way? You will not be able to hear them as the cochlear implants basically disconnects the middle and outer ear.

I would give it a try and see what you think.
