US Government has patent to put voices in your head

[Unarmed Gunman]

Method and device for implementing the radio frequency hearing effect:

A method of encoding an input audio signal a(t) to produce a double sideband output signal having a .omega..sub.c carrier frequency, which when transmitted to the head of a receiving subject, will by the radio frequency hearing effect induce a thermal-acoustic signal in the bone/tissue material of the head that replicates the input audio signal and is conducted by the bone/tissue structure of the head to the inner ear where it is demodulated by the normal processes of the cochlea and converted to nerve signals which are sent to the brain, thereby enabling intelligible speech to be perceived by the brain as any other nerve signal from the cochlea...

So the short story by Kurt Vonnegut "Harrison Bergeron" might actually come true in 2081.

Quoted from the story "And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains."

Sounds like it's a similar thing to the 'silent subliminal' Lowery patent, with a bit of the neurophone chucked in for good measure...
