Luddie's Former Life ;)
Houston, the Shiny has landed.

Can you tell I read a lot of BBC?

See this article for the news on stylish hearing aids. Why didn't someone think of this long ago.

Of course, my idea of a stylish hearing aid is one of those hearing horns you put to your ear.



In any case, a few paragraphs down, the article reads thusly:

The ideas on display include a remote control to block out irritating sounds, a device to enable people to have a clear conversation in a noisy bar, and hearing aids designed as fashionable jewellery or must-have gadgets.

Another concept, known as the Goldfish, instantly replays the previous 10 seconds of sound to the wearer in case they have failed to catch someone's name.

It is based on the idea that goldfish only have 10 seconds of memory.

    Somehow, I suspect "the Goldfish" may also have been influenced by the Babelfish.

Something to say?
