So when I'm up late doing a bit of reading, they have whacky commercials on the teevee that's playing in the background. I'm not a big fan of total quiet for more than just a couple minutes. I just saw a commercial for this thing called "Listenup". It's basically a volume amplifier for people that are hard of hearing. It got my attention because I'm rather hard of hearing... rock & roll ears as it's called. It's a credit card size unit with headphones that you plug into your ears.
So anyway.. they were demonstrating some uses for this miracle device. One of them was spying on the neighbors (clever). But the one that really perplexed me was the scenario of a mother, sitting in a park talking to another mom, and the mom hears the kids playing on the other side of the park. Presumably mom can keep an ear on the kids that way.
Who can guess what confused me about that?

Becuase it isn't filtering out ambient noise and isn't a directed mic?
I was thinking in simpler terms.
If it was sensitive enough to hear the kids across the playground, the sound of the other mom's voice sitting next to her would have blown her head up.
They make it seem like the hearing the Bionic Woman had.
