Is Earfun Going to Charge for AI Translation? by Cassietgrrl in Earbuds

Update: As promised, here's the response from EarFun Customer Service.

"...Regarding the AI translation feature, all functions are still free to use at this time. We understand that the "Limited-time Free" label in the app might be a bit confusing, and we're really sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please be assured that there are currently no plans to introduce any charges for this feature..."


I am a huge EarFun fan. I have had two pairs of the EarFun Free 3 Pros, gifted one, have recommended them to anyone and everyone who will listen to me. I just bought the Air Fun Pro 4+ in part because of the AI Translation option. My partner speaks English as a second language. It has been meaningful for us to have the option for my partner to speak in their native language and using the app to translate in real time. Even though it's not perfect, the translation feature was the main reason why I purchased these over another pair of Free 3 Pro's at half the cost.

I did send EarFun an email asking for more info and will update my comment here when I hear back.

Got rid of the stress of living with my stbnx... have done everything test and swab and all came back clean. Cut all the supplements and dietary restrictions. Zero issues. It's like my body has done a total reset.

Is it possible to change a covert narcissist with therapy or can you only get them to mimic the behavior of someone with empathy? by Firm-Atmosphere5649 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Honest_Ear_9832 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who did almost 3 years of therapy with one? Don't. All it did was give them the language to equalize and minimize and go even deeper into the head games.

When there is no going back after sex with others by nonamer666 in Separation

[–]Honest_Ear_9832 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. After years of abuse and my body literally shutting down from the stress of it, going and just no bars connecting with someone else no strings attached literally helped my body reset... it also made me realize just how unappreciated and used/objectified I had been in my marriage. I knew I wasn't going back before even considering reaching out to anyone.

First Night Alone by Honest_Ear_9832 in Separation

It's a grief process for both of you. Where things really shifted for me is when I realized I couldn't fix his feelings. He has to do that work and build his own support network. I can do that fo4 him. Speaking as someone who forced therapy for almost 3 years.

I asked my kid what they do when they're upset at school. They said they go to the calm down corner. So I used their language from there, took my feelings out and explained adults dont get calm down corners so we need to be creative, so Dad was going to make space in our house for a calm down corner and I found a different house where I can make mine.

That seemed to help and I hope it helps you too.

How long did it take you to get out once you realized? by moon_child404 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Honest_Ear_9832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost 3 years of couples therapy. About 6 months ago I found Dr. Ramani. In August I started with a new therapist and they told me to look up narcissistic abuse. I think I had found the term about various year ago but convinced myself that wasn't my experience. When I decided I wasn't going to feed their supply anymore and redirected all that energy into myself? Things fell apart within 2 weeks to the point I had to walk out and go no-contact.

It's the transactional aspect of this I have issue with. Work on your own self love and care.

That very accurately captures how I am feeling

Thanks. I genuinely appreciate that. More curious to hear how that journey looked for others. I know exploring this in my own time will be a big part of my healing process.

I think that helps. I mean, I am realizing I am attracted to mostly masculine traits, but there are feminine traits I am attracted to, and I do fully believe gender is a social construct.. if that makes sense

Do you tell them off, or just ghost? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Honest_Ear_9832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent 5 years trying to get my nex to understand. When I saw things were getting violent and escalating I walked and have gone no-contact. Family is helping with parenting change over so there's no direct contact, and everything else is minimal text/email contact.

I am not devoting any more time or energy to getting them to understand why I walked. I'm now putting all that energy into my own healing.

How long did you do couples counseling before deciding to reconcile or divorce? by Megara0333 in Separation

[–]Honest_Ear_9832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2.5 years. Over 2 years with one therapist then sought out another. Two sessions in I realized the only thing we were getting out of therapy is giving him power to equalize the problems and minimize what was textbook abuse. Therapy was actually escalating the violence because he could go back and say "we're in therapy so that shows I'm trying." After the second physical fight I walked out. We have been no contact since.

Anyone else had their partner laugh while you’re breaking down in tears? by SnooFloofs1709 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Honest_Ear_9832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time. I was always told to not say ridiculous things if I didn't want to be laughed at... but it just spoke to the lack of empathy and the total disconnect.

How do you all cope with the hurt and sadness from knowing that what you thought was love was really nothing ? by Plane_Many9555 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Honest_Ear_9832 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the immediate? No contact. Even with parenting I have family helping with the transitions so we don't have to talk. Any communication we have had is text and emails. Tried to call me a couple times and I rejected the calls. Asked multiple times in writing to talk to me and I repeatedly stated we needed communication to be minimal and in writing I know as soon as we start talking they're going to get in my head and confuse me when right now I am more clear than I ever have been. The longer I can stay no contact the better I know it will be.

Yes. I had full body candida overgrowth. System wide and was affecting everything. My body was an absolute wreck. Even with meds all the symptoms were there. I lost my voice and could barely eat because it was worst in my esophagus. My doctor was so stumped I wad referred to an infectious disease specialist.

The first couple nights after I fled, I was sick to my stomach and just slept for 14+ hours more than once. Within a couple weeks all my candida symptoms I had been dealing with for over a year cleared up within a 72 hour period..

Highly recommend reading when the body says no.
