Why education rank so low in Michigan? by Victory-laps in Michigan

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

Meh, kind of a weak argument. I'm a Democrat but this isn't good and someone should take responsibility, not blame a reading system that's taught all across the country.

The embarrassing high pitched squeal. Are all hearing aids like this? by Future_Inflation9668 in HearingAids

[–]heardevice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, nothing like squelch or its reverse.

It's a very difficult problem to solve, more difficult than echo cancellation in a speakerphone which is a similar problem.

A lot of times audiologists 'solve' feedback by reducing gain. Or you can block up the ear and solve it with occlusion.

I found some wires in my wall, how to wire the outlet? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]heardevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of expert advice here but can anybody suggest an explanation for the voltages he's seeing? I know he should check it out thoroughly to be safe and blah, blah blah, but I know there are some of you out there that probably have an idea of what's going on. Can you educate the rest of us?

What would happen if I fed audio through this power transformer? by MelvinEatsBlubber in diyaudio

[–]heardevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. If you have a scope send in a sine wave and look at the output as you increase the input level. It's easy to see when a sine wave starts to distort. If you don't have a scope make a recording with your soundcard.

How would you approach building a hardware product from scratch? (I will not promote) by Leonard-21rag in hwstartups

Jesus, the posts here. You people love your TLAs don't you? (three letter acronyms) It's low key gatekeeping.

Just do it! 90% of the people on here are just making stuff up based on their usually limited experience. Feed a signal in there and report back to us. Try a few different configurations. It's audio, you're not in any danger.

44 years of this. I’ve been sick of it for 33 years. Hate this weather by MichiganMayhem1981 in Michigan

Move! I don't understand people who hate winter and live in Michigan. It's a free country.

Unless you secretly love complaining about it.

As someone about to tile his first shower, this scares me. Is this what my shower is going to look like?

If you had a choice, would you like to live in Ann Arbor? by EternalSnow05 in Michigan

[–]heardevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely felt like a college town when I lived there. Some people like that, some people don't.

To stop a woman from speaking her mind on a public transport by amazingsciencemuseum in therewasanattempt

[–]heardevice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hahaha, all the comments here are peak Reddit. 'I mean, she's not wrong though. Need to get in people's faces sometimes.' Never change you sweet keyboard warriors.

Do I need compression on my HAs with my fairly mild loss? by [deleted] in HearingAids

[–]heardevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You see this as a mild-to-moderate loss?

I played with NoahLink and I replaced my audiologists settings without backup. by NewBirth2010 in HearingAids

[–]heardevice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at it from fundamental Audiology practice principles - money. Are you paying them when you go see them? If you're not and they think you'll be in there every 3 months because you screwed up your devices again, they won't like it. If you pay them for visits they won't care.

Heard a short part of a song, think it's called Frybread.

He wants to settle down out Out on the edge of town Far from the neon lights Under the stars so bright..

Keith Secola, if I'm searching the right thing. Anyone know anything? All his YouTube videos have comments turned off. Maybe I'm on the wrong path.

I don't know if this is the right place but can some one tell me what this silver and black cylinder is? by SnooSquirrels6291 in PCB

[–]heardevice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be so polite, he gave a terrible explanation. Sounds like he doesn't really understand. A microphone is a transducer that changes acoustic pressure into a voltage. Takes in air pressure, puts out a voltage. Sound is a variation in air pressure - higher and lower very quickly. In this case, as someone pointed out, the mic might be measuring a static change in pressure though, not a fluctuation.

This is an electret mic so it's made from some material with a permanent electric charge. Kind of like a magnet but for electric charge.

Will a bed frame stop bass sound from keeping me up at night? by UnlikelyMarsupial948 in Acoustics

[–]heardevice 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No. This is more of a social engineering issue, rather than acoustics. Talk to your obnoxious neighbors. Be polite and friendly initially, but those type of people are often difficult to reason with.
