Kemor - thx for that. That's a little out of my price range for now - with a daughter at uni and another with ambitious travel plans (a year in the US, Japan, Korea) there's not much left for toys for me ;-)

Very informative post Grabster, I was not aware of that.So graphene can not solve everything ,now I'm disappointed now ;) specifically when it comes down to the cortex sound receptive area of the brain.Joking aside, interesting info...

He also delivers pizza - like a real man.

Once upon a time TOM W had a lunch time TV show where he tipped shares......eventually it was closed down so off he went and had tip sheets and today he does what most readers of this BB know him for.

Btw

A brilliant line that NR posted on twiiter.

It was along the lines of “ Those that goad you to get response they desire then play the victim when it comes”.

Rings bells that one which confirms the wet paper bag personalities.

Club
Every so often hidden hearing do an offer
Mine were 4700 less 15 percent about 3 months ago with free batteries and filters for life
Sorry guys for being O/T

Still long snd strong here with VRS

Good luck to sll holders and much appreciation and admiration to NR and all his team

Oh and superg1 you are A star .

Have a lovely week end all

Above 130p, too nanenity and beyond! 💪🚀

[senden11] 07/12/2018 11:25

Thanks guys for last night's very positive feedback which helps keep us all in the loop - much appreciated!

[dafad] 07/12/2018 11:25

they have a graphene battery

[dafad] 07/12/2018 11:22

anley-you on about this??

[club sandwich] 07/12/2018 11:19

I'll be buying hearing aids in the New Year. About £1500 for a mid-range pair - not bloody cheap!

[anley] 07/12/2018 11:10

Will NANENE be used in Hearing Aids..............??

[scottishfield] 07/12/2018 11:09

Won't take much to shift I think, if we get a bit of buying going.

O/t

Kemorkid - I have the very best grade of hearing aids - and they do help a lot. But for many people with hearing loss, input is not where the biggest problem lies.

As you may know (but others might not so I'll post this)(apologies for the crude simplification of the science which might offend any experts watching!); Noises entering the ear go to a signal reception area in the core brain, from where they get passed on to an interpretive cortex area that makes sense of them. Where the capability of the ear has deteriorated steadily over many years/decades, the interpretive area has less and less material to work with, and becomes lazy at processing signals - it no longer does so quickly or continuously. Hearing aids can dramatically improve reception - and a full range of frequencies will again find their way to the core brain, from where they get shipped to an interpretive area that has lost the ability to cope with such a strong continuous input. The brain gets around this by - in effect - deleting parts of the flow, by say, 25%; a bit like deleting every fourth word in a text. The reader of such abbreviated texts, given a moment or two to suss what the missing bits probably said, can usually work it out sufficiently well. And the same generally applies when listening to a short sentence - but it does take a split second or two to fathom what was probably said. Unfortunately if the input is more than one sentence, the buffering involved in guessing the missed word distracts the listener from hearing the start of the next sentence - and it becomes very easy to then lose the flow of what is being said.

The greater the improvement provided by superior hearing aids - especially for someone who has addressed the issue late in life - the greater the difficulty in matching input with the diminished interpretive ability.

Hearing tests mostly focus on reception of delivered signals at specific frequencies, but these are in the form of tones, not in the form of complex word structures delivered at speed. I imagine that the advances that graphene provides in loudspeakers might also improve hearing aids. Unfortunately a big part of the problem is brain related, not equipment related.

O/T I absolutely agree with Kemorkid.

[ellissj] 07/12/2018 10:31

Agreed, great feedback from all and thx for sharing. VRS in a very good place imo. Wind under our sails ! Glalth. Best ellis

[kemorkid] 07/12/2018 10:23

Off topic and apologies
Grabster snd Festario ... I too have poor hearing (lost in crowd conversation and
Nodding when I shouldn’t have but after much perseverance from my wife I went to hidden hearing and at 60 it has changed my life.....honestly.

[rogerbridge] 07/12/2018 10:14

Thanks for the feedback from last evenings really interesting meeting. All systems go.

[schmally] 07/12/2018 10:11
