@c0debabe you rang?
@f0x aaaaa! So cute!
@emacsomancer cat-ear-shaped hearing devices for humans. Why not? Hearing devices are much too boring.
@bunny_jane the former! And uh, they can give the wearer just normal hearing, too. That's pretty super!
Hearing aids for cats in need would be cool, too. I bet they'd hate the little headbands, though.

@SophicLeech this sucks real bad. Would you like help finding resources, or do you know folks locally?
@j3s
:o
I see you've your pixels where your pixels are. That looks so comfy!
@j3s you brag so big.
@j3s ooooo. What form was egg in?
@j3s what was in this masterpiece?
At this point, I don't think I could come out of the broom closet at work if I tried. Literally just asked for Samhain off at the end of the month, since we might need to be available overnight and my boss just went "yep, okay".
Good news? He's cool with it. Bad news? He asks how my Christmas was every year.
@j3s so tragic 💔
@mxm@rage.love "Disability and Progress" (https://www.kfai.org/program/disabilityandprogress/) is hosted by a blind woman. It's a weekly radio show with an archive available via podcasts. I'm not sure how often she talks about her vision, but it occasionally comes up. A while back (a year or two ago?) there was a wonderful interview with a blind therapist and a discussion of how her service dog and practice work.
It's broadcast locally for me and I enjoy listening whenever it's on. The quality is some of the best I've heard. Highly recommended. Good luck on your search!
@f0x Oh cooool, thank you so much for the offer! Once I get a better idea of what I'd like, I just might hit you up for that. The current shape/size is a little ungainly.
And yeah, they're expensive. They said some boards had been 'validated'. I'm not sure if that's an expensive legal process for medical equipment, but maybe that's part of it? I'm also assuming some of the board price goes into funding the library project/development. For my prototype, I'm OK with paying that much, but it's too expensive for me to really consider 'accessible' in something I'd recommend to friends.
