[QUOTE="malus handle, post: 2549152, member: 97655"] and a few Grateful Dead speakers, in my life. I know that a blind person can "hear" objects in front of them, can a deaf person see deeper into things? I tried hearing aids , for awhile, but the doctors couldn't understand why I only wanted one, and , except having it paired up with tv, they plugged up my only ear. And I did NOT need any loud noise. When it comes to loud noise now, ..I wish i couldn't hear it,.. It "freezes":cold: me and sometimes makes me jump.:wtf: no fun. TO the Bone Phone, With my conduction (keyword) speaker just in front of my left ear lobe, I can hear , "Dark Side of The Moon", which is on my kindle in my back pocket, which leaves my ear canal open to hear my wife say "did you take the trash out?". ha.. I have played around with the speaker and the equalizer, and its amazing how the whole skull is one big conductor, full of air, sort of. water transmits sound in a total different way, than through air (bone). when I move the bone phone towards the lobe, as soon as it touches, the bass comes in and I'm able to really enjoy listening to music again. every other way has been cumbersome, this is simple, and I hope more people take advantage of them .
