Tech-enhanced Life Resource Database
This is one of hundreds of products and resources in the Tech-enhanced Life database of "useful products and resources".
The theme of this collection of resources is "tools we can use to help improve our quality of life as we grow older".
We have no vested interest in any of these products or services, but we have collected descriptions of them, and organized them according to various themes relating to the challenges of aging — so older adults and their families can find useful products they do not yet know about.
Members of Tech-enhanced Life can search by categories, add reviews of the products, and see links to the manufacturer's websites where they can buy the product or access the resource.
The criteria for adding products and resources to this database is that we think they "look useful, noteworthy, and interesting", and have the potential to improve life for older adults and their families. We have evaluated some of these products, in which case you will see links to a detailed review and or to explorer discussions about the product on this page, or inputs from explorers in the comments.
If the listing does not include reviews or explorer discussions, then we have not evaluated it sufficiently to be able to recommend it or comment on how well it works. If you research this product or resource further, and especially if you try it out, please come back to this page and add your comments.

Discussion and Reviews
from Ken Holt (member) at December 19, 2022
Looks like a good device for some of us to try out.
It's an alternate way for those of us with moderate to severe high-frequency hearing loss to perceive some difficult frequency bands, rather than relying only on hearing aids to boost those bands.
On the wristband device, 6 bands of sound (300 -7k Hz) are presented as spatially separated vibrations against the skin of the wrist.
This company could surely use some accurate feedback and suggestions from a group such as ours.
It unfortunately is quite expensive ($999) and requires a training period to use.
