@atpfm @siracusa I couldn't stop thinking about this after listening to the latest episode (surely I can't be the first to do this?)

Introducing EarSight™

@manutastic @atpfm @siracusa indeed, turns out this meme has been around a couple months. Apparently looks best on neatly-trimmed bearded males 🤷🏼‍♂️

@siracusa @manutastic how else are we to know if a person is actually shutting the world out or just wearing as a fashion accesory? My kids do this all the time. 🤪

I’d settle for just an emoji or color change. How about a ring of stoplight indicators (they could easily add to AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods 4 too):
Green = I’m wearing these for fashion
Yellow= I have Conversational Awareness on
Red = don’t even bother to talk to me
