my experiments indicate that hearing aid batteries consistently and reliably lose ~10% of their potential per washing machine cycle

@Paultron Is it true that hearing aids make noise to outsiders when they're dirty or the users ears need cleaned? I have someone I know who is hard to talk to because I can hear the chirping so much. I have sensitive ears for my age though, so maybe it's just a cross I hear until I shoot some guns more.

Your grand kids will be sensitive to dog whistles, chud

@BowsacNoodle i think some have alerts for when they need cleaning or have low battery but a lot of it is due to feedback, especially in old models
a lot of money goes into the filtering mechanism before the amplifiers. it used to be all hardware based and analog circuit designers were king but these days even lower end aids have microprocessors in them for software filtering. cuts down on feedback but also relies on the quality of the algorithm

@Paultron Oh it's definitely feedback. Like my one boomer friend is actually hard for me to communicate with, it's bad. It's a fancy one with Bluetooth hookup to the phone, which isn't properly utilized because boomer. If I had those, I can promise I'd have location based setups for certain places and a hotkey to toggle it.

@BowsacNoodle last time i did circuit design they were talking about algorithms that could adapt to a conversation's specific frequency bands and use software bandpasses to boost that specifically,witout any input from the user. i reckon they have to be on the shelf by now. its not hard in concept but only made possible by how hilariously small and low power we have gotten FPGAs and microprocessors
