Really, the only plausible idea that comes to mind is a vibration microphone to pick up his voice, perhaps in order to voice-command via radio. Again, the reason why it ain't implanted comes to mind.
I bet his name is Shotaro Jirou or Yamada Tarou. The stereotypically Japanese boring names, aka John Smith. It fits the two and three kanji he was talking about, assuming that each kanji is one syllable, as well as the "boring" reference he made.

I don't think it really needs to be implanted, because it isn't meant to be a permanent solution. The doctor mentioned that he'd be connected to the network as a form of rehabilitation, like physical therapy for his squishy white matter.

@David:
Accelerator talks down to everyone because he is essentially superior to the rest of the espers, and because he's an arrogant sonofabitch. If they are all human, he must be something better than human. Homo Superior to use some Marvel Comics references. Tons of other characters in other series do this too.
