@Myotis_cuniculus From what I've read it's that hearing aids are a “medical device” and so you have regulatory barriers and the captive-market markup.

Ignoring that, though… I think Apple's “adaptive transparency” mode is approximately a hearing-aid mode but don't call it that. IIRC there's open source hearing aid firmware for #pinebuds and some other hackable earbuds.

Running DOOM On Earbuds

In 1993, DOOM was a great game to play if you had a 486 with a VGA monitor and nothing to do all weekend. In 2026, you can play it on a set of earbuds instead, if for some reason that’s somet…

Shameless job application by the pages author, but at least a fun one: https://doombuds.com/ (see at the bottom of the page)

We now need to see Doom with audio and control over BT on some Bose QC35s or similar as the next level...😆

My #pinebudspro don't play any music anymore. It seems the button of the right bud does not work. I think it never really did, didn't acutally use the buttons.
I bought the buds last year in the summer at @pine64eu with a two years warranty. I tried to contact them via phone and mail several times also wrote them via mastodon. They don't reply in any form. Any thoughts on how I could get my buds to work again or how I could get a response from Pine64EU? #linux #pine64 #pinebuds
