If you haven't read this thread about #trump's first #hearing in the #Jan6 case w/ #Judge#Chutkan today (Friday) — by the always great @GottaLaff — then you're missing out. It may be the best she's ever done. (At least since I've been following her.) Lots of quotes, easy to follow (it's her trademark!) and sourced throughout. Don't miss this!
Is there a cool top of the line sleek hearing aid with great software and noise canceling options and it also plays music and sounds amazing with like nine lil microphones and 5 tiny speakers and it looks amazing and stuff?
my mom needs one and I have not been impressed with what others who use them say about them.
if I ever need one I expect it to do all this and more.
My #shozy Black Hole Mini has a frequency response of 16Hz to 24KHz. Listening to these well-resolving #iem, I sometimes got the impression that many #mix and #mastering engineers seem to have either an inadequate #listening environment or insufficient #hearing capacity. Because many of the #songs in my #library have unpleasant #peaks above the 7/8KHz region that should have been tamed during mix or mastering. 😲😵💫
What's the fascination with noise-cancelling headphones? The last thing I want when wearing #headphones is to completely block out the real world. That sounds really dangerous; how will you hear if someone's breaking into your house or sneaking up behind you to slit your throat?
Maybe it's the symptom of living in #SouthAfrica with its high #crime (and home invasion in particular) rates. Or maybe it's another symptom of my tunnel vision, where I can't see people approaching me from the side anyway, and therefore have to rely on environmental sounds more than the average person. Maybe it's a bit of both, but cancelling out all background noise just feels like a really bad idea to me.
I wear headphones often, but when I do, I make a point of sliding one of them slightly off my ear, specifically so I still CAN hear what's going on around me.
Sorry if you routinely wear noise-cancelling headphones and I've now made you paranoid about someone sneaking up behind you and slitting your throat! XD #SorryNotSorry
1/20 There's something I haven't seen discussed online a lot. But it affects a lot of people, in negative ways that are not immediately obvious to the people around them.
I'm describing this to ask you to think about it a little, and, I hope, perhaps treat the affected with a little more #empathy once you understand.
I have to tell my own story to get into this, but it'll be short.
It's half term here in the UK so I've being doing well, not really doing much social media type stuff.
I've just got wind of a Minecraft schedule A hearing tomorrow, and as I haven't listened in to an NDIL hearing this year, I may just have to have a listen, see how things are going in Illinois courts see if any defendants show up. Doubt it but maybe worth a listen to a judge I've not heard before in these cases.
I did not know this was a thing. Corporations effectively disabling your phone or your washing machine to force you to buy a new one is bad enough. Doing the same with your ears is disgusting. Especially if you didn't advise that this would happen before installation, and marketed it as "forever". Yet another "How do these people sleep at night?" moment.
For the record, #Elon#Musk was watching incest #porn, and was going to #court for the #felony of having #sex with animals, not the other way around.
In fact, in a preliminary #hearing last week I heard #Space Karen Elon Musk say as he was charged with animal necrophilia “Gee your honor I didn’t know the cat was dead when I was #fucking it.”
New paper out: Georgia and Chih-Ting investigated the functional lateralization of auditory cortex. They built a bilateral microscope to simultaneously image both hemispheres in the same mouse. They find that the higher-order A2 shows functional lateralization and that A2 has lower and asymmetric hemispheric functional connections. Moreover, a lack of sound experiences prevents the development of asymmetric functional connectivity.
If you’ve ever been out in the woods and sworn you’ve heard someone call your name, you might not be going crazy — just experiencing a condition called “auditory pareidolia.” Live Science explains more about this phenomenon of hearing intelligible voices or sounds in meaningless background noise. https://flip.it/KbQ8o- #Science#Hearing#Health#Mind#NeuroScience
