Seeing Is Hearing
I had my hearing checked the other day. Surprisingly, and despite what my brain tells me, my hearing is great.
While waiting for my appointment, I browsed through hearing-aid literature. It is more amusing than you might think.
For example, Oticon–a high-end hearing-aid manufacturer–claims to have put Artificial Intelligence into its devices. Amazing how they were able to do it but billions of dollars directed at similar efforts have not.
Also, there was a brochure for GN Resound. Here is my favorite part:
Writing In To Starbucks Could Land You On A Cup
From Starbucks’ submission policy on their Web site:
…you give Starbucks permission to use [your submission] and your name on the cup or online with no obligation of any kind to you, and you waive any rights or claims against Starbucks.
Yikes.
