I tried some hearing aids that are small, behind the ear, and bluetooth. They can receive the music from your mp3 player in your pocket.
Listen to music and nobody knows you are listening to music!

Got a thing for purple, huh? I can relate: it’s a good colour.

Well hell, even the shuffle is worth it. Even moreso, I think, since it has that li’l clip and the shuffle is the only one that comes in purple, currently…

I’d second that, but I’ve got the old skinny iPod nano, and I got it as a gift, so I didn’t have to pay the outrageous price for it… But I love it! If it got lost, I’d shell out the cash for another one.

Ah! I did know that: saw it in a couple live videos. I’ve always wanted to see Weird Al live…

O wow, that’s amazing!!

Hey, side note: Did you know that Weird Al always has a signer (ASL interpreter?) at his concerts?

I used to poetry slam with this guy named Omar, who was deaf. He’d have one of the other poets stand up and read his poem aloud, while he signed/danced it. It was always beautiful and moving.

iPod! All the way. They come in purple and red now too! (grrr, I got one before this happened!)

A nod to brahnamin for pointing me this way. I laughed.

As another technologically abhorrent person, would you recommend your mp3 player? And if so, what is it?

(I really, really need to get one)

I think that’s a really neat idea, but I’m not sure I could go for an electronic book reader. I just love turning pages too much, actually gripping the paper between my fingers. It’s part of the experience.

The coolest type of ‘phones in my opinion, are the ones held together by force of will alone.

There was a recent post about sign language, or at least that’s where we ended up…

I like it when people use sign movement as dance.

Appreciated, self correction is a virtue…

…though I have spent too much of the day pondering the difference between ‘earbuds’ and ‘ear buds’

Unavoidable Simpson’s quote/:

“I used to be ‘with it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’, and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.”

Ooooh! I just got an eInk book reader (Sony’s version), and it’s like the mp3 player, but with books! I’m hooked.

‘moaning’?

Aha, so you to are *ahem* affected by Saint-Saens’ Rondo et Capriccioso too?

Wow, good point!!

This is weird, I’ve just had my interest in learning sign language re-awakened as of a few days ago. Singing with sign language…pretty.

I love my Bose headphones. The disadvantage?
I don’t know how loud *I’m* being when they
are on. Singing, moaning… I’m probably just as
loud (and less pleasing to listen to) as my MP3s.

That is awesome.
6027, I agree with you though. I wear headphones, the kind that look like a headband. They are horribly injured headphones with tape on one side and the foam on the phones is tattered. But the other kind just falls out of my ears. Eww. Stuff in ears.
Oh well, we’ll all be deaf when we’re old anyway. Then we can use the headphones designed above and be super cool.

Earbuds are possibly the worst invention ever, in regards to hearing.

“…those of us with impaired hearing.”
Which is all of us who have been going around with headphones jammed in and rammed up for all these years. I always figured that if listening to great music really really loud eventually cost me my hearing, then at least that hearing would disappear at around the time that young people started running the show with what I would almost definitely find to be, like my father before me, unbearable rubbish.
