Cochlear implants are normally "clamped" to the skull via magnets so there is a large circle that is usually pretty visible, though it could have been hidden via the hair as well. It's also possible it's a device to prevent seizures. I've only seen one on a friend of my wife's, if he didn't have it he would have 20-30 seizures a day.

My wife is a Hearing Impaired Teacher, some of her problem children like to take off their implants and stick their head to the desk when they throw temper tantrums.
