Please don't consider advancing the state of the art without FDA approval. You aren't allowed to buy a tool to remotely listen to someone's chest unless you have spent the time to become the high-status few.https://t.co/FGyBWX1O4F
Please don't investigate the space of phone based medicine. Please don't use your phone's microphone as an electronic stethoscope. This is not an approved use.https://t.co/6jafO1zhxt
Hack your own E-Stethoscope for remotely accessing lung issues.https://t.co/sAEP8q9puy(h/t https://t.co/Xw9WCoyX3p )
Hearing aids are going to be classified as over-the-counter, which means medical devices manufacturers get a larger captive market, and non-medical hearing devices are going to be policed more aggressively...https://t.co/XsXSTgRONu https://t.co/fD3OF8y5ae
Do you want to selectively amplify voices using dedicated hardware? Hackernews comments suggested checking out this DIY hearing aid.https://t.co/UapF83efeZ
"Odds are that the amplification is strong enough to blow out your eardrums with any noise beyond the usually-inaudible ticking of a lock mechanism. But if you need to get into a safe, this is one of few non-damaging methods."https://t.co/mMy8AgYjq5
I regularly get advertisements for Electronic Stethoscopes and it always reminds me of how I tried to buy one to be able to listen to my mom's chest over the internet and found out I can't buy them without being a healthcare professional.https://t.co/jwIXZFI2VY
"I think one of the other things about the stigma is that hearing aids are ludicrously expensive. They're way more expensive than they should be or that they need to be."https://t.co/wpv2neyhBF
"They also talk to my phone. And they'll talk to yours too. [...] I can pull out the app, and let me adjust [...] I can even use my phone as a remote microphone..."https://t.co/VR2UuBHAt4
inb4 your consumer grade smart hearing aid is hijacked like 'Weeping Angel' using a phone rootkit. https://t.co/eKvhjccBIo
"The need to communicate has yielded a vast array of inventions. The need to compute has similarly stimulated our inventiveness. These 2 powerful forces have danced together for generations and have yielded several remarkable offspring." https://t.co/LgJMerpITl
IMHO, the reason why these things are expensive medical devices probably has nothing to do with them being medical in nature.https://t.co/7LZd4P4MLm
I think a lot about hearing https://t.co/DCt1WNqBaV
and how to fix ithttps://t.co/9lHVj2Lp1b
Turns out its the same pathway I ate literal dog shit to fix.https://t.co/JUc34mMHjw
which might be why mTOR and aging seem to correlate with hearing losshttps://t.co/Lm07Sn997T
Trying to fix my autism. But can you hear me now?https://t.co/Trq1anDlH2
I have the balls to call autism an age related disorder because few seem to be listening.https://t.co/UDYE8PBgQJ
Funny how often gut bacteria and immune function decline in people with poor aging. Almost like it's related."Age-related hearing loss and tinnitus, dementia risk, and auditory amplification outcomes" https://t.co/WlKUG4x4Cr https://t.co/6c6FffcQpe
Trying to fix my sound startle response. I got pretty far.https://t.co/9CRw1KFUSL
These are all related."In conclusion, the startle reflex has important guiding value for studying various stages of various diseases. There is still plenty of room for research on the startle reflex."https://t.co/MMx2yEDXeqhttps://t.co/7wuYkF0XCZ https://t.co/Nx3u2wWooo
"Hence, the therapeutic activation of mTORC2 in conjunction with decreasing mTORC1 might represent a promising and effective strategy in preventing hearing loss." https://t.co/1X1AumzsulThis is preventing hair cells from dying.
RIPOR2 (RHO Family Interacting Cell Polarization Regulator 2) is likely why some antibiotics (aminoglycosides) cause hearing loss. https://t.co/RuqrSFn8VN
RICTOR controls an inhibitor that acts on a bunch of RHO proteins https://t.co/JIGgP39xEu
"show that activating ERBB2 started a process that led to the production of cochlear support cells. This then resulted in stem cells transforming into the sensory hair cells. These cells also integrated with nerve cells, which is necessary for hearing." https://t.co/U3sDtgG9QG
I know that at least some gut residents can activate ERBB2 cuz of my time reading about how H Pylori causes cancer."Activation of EGFR and ERBB2 by Helicobacter pylori Results in Survival of Gastric Epithelial Cells with DNA Damage" https://t.co/26JoRmrsQ4
The gut and the ear.https://t.co/Az9nXHCMUF https://t.co/tJ0DvsMqlw
What's that sonny, gut bacteria can help regulate your body's ability to use and manufacture stem cells?https://t.co/UMVL9CuR6h
Is it safe to put royal jelly in your ears? How would one get it to contact the inner ear?https://t.co/BngNVTM6rz
Would royal jelly + manuka honey ear drops work? https://t.co/QXbkhSlylM
Want a wearable that lists to my farts.Among other things. "The chance of a first trimester miscarriage varies by fetal heart rate, according to a study of 809 pregnancies." https://t.co/7OM7AyEXhFhttps://t.co/BZJVmgIfvn
I derived the dog barking idea via building a DIY condenser microphone to listen to carpenter ants."We used [tech] that was originally created to track the munching sounds of termites to see if we could detect problems in the human gut." https://t.co/ehUiWWCl80
Enshitification is when the devices are more than capable of acting as spy tools, but due to local legislation you can't use it to help family.“We came back home, we took them out of the case, and I was looking for the feature and it was just missing,”https://t.co/WujLXpXoLh
