Where is the Darn Piezo (with pics)

Bingo.

Mike, if you have such an issue again where you need to find out where some noise of sound comes from: If have often located the faintest hisses and stuff using a piece of 5/8" drip irrigation tube or similar held to my ear.

But that doesn't work for us ol' farts ;-)

Hello Jim,

Oh, I bet you'd hear it. I can even hear (most) noises that way with my left ear even though its frequency response is pretty shot courtesy of a kablouie event while in the army.

Maybe you need a fresh battery in your hearing aid?

Ehhhh?

I've heard "it" makes you go blind, but all I've noticed is a gradual deafness ;-)

Actually only in my left ear... like Joerg, a "ka-bluie" event ;-)

And let us all not forget (well, how can you, he will demonstrate it for us down the way a bit) that Graham is still an idiot.

Big electrolytic, or wine bottle?

Of all the crazy things, I was working on a hearing aid design and punctured my eardrum with a signal that was supposed to compress but didn't :-(

Hello Jim,

And as consultants we don't get workman's comp when that happens.

Nope :-(

Praise Darwin! >:->

Cheers! Rich

Accidents do happen, unfortunately

Hearing loss really isn't funny. My dad is fairly deaf in one ear, after too many years working in a corrugated box plant, followed by ten years in a cabinet shop.

My hearing is about the only thing that still works, but the Tinnitus is working on that, too. :(

I used to work on big audio amps for bands, but I used my 1200 watt non inductive loads to test the amps. Then you could hear the transformers singing while you drove the amp to clipping to see what it was really capable of.

Hello Rich,

Except that I don't believe in Darwin :-)))

There's much more evidence that Darwin existed than that Yeshua bar Yoshua ('Jesus') existed.
