LAZY_TITLE
Ayla Wing’s middle school students don’t always know what to make of their 26-year-old teacher’s hearing aids. The most common response she hears: “Oh, my grandma has them, too.”
But grandma’s hearing aids were never like this: Bluetooth-enabled and connected to her phone, they allow Ms. Wing to toggle with one touch between custom settings. She can shut out the world during a screeching subway ride, hear her friends in noisy bars during a night out and even understand her students better by switching to “mumbly kids.”
that this is really, honestly, some fruity piece about people driving themselves deaf in their 20s with airpods, but... that caught my eye
noise-cancelling earbuds are great around loud traffic, even if no music -- just, much more peaceful. then passthru mode is convenient; you can talk without having to take them out. but it also provides a halfway mode for noise shielding
and this is all "She can shut out the world during a screeching subway ride, hear her friends in noisy bars during a night out and even understand her students better by switching to “mumbly kids.”
...and fuck yes, actually. i want custom EQ filtering modes on my earbuds. be able to doodle a graphic EQ curve on my phone to adjust the noise cancelling. carve out a tunnel in the middle where the frequencies for the automated subway alert voice live and carefully carve out most else.
that'd make noise-cancelling earbuds better. plz thx.
