Poor analogy.
Hearing aids do discriminate and are quite programmable to be adjusted to the needs of the user usually by an audiologist who works with the patient to understand what sounds they want to hear (and it changes over time)
- nthcolumn 9y agoThat may be but I thought it was an excellent analogy. I don't think he is really concerned with imparting information about how hearing aids actually work, it is just a device.
- shawn-butler 9y agoThen you don't really understand how analogies work. And he isn't imparting any useful information just talking points. https://literarydevices.net/analogy/ https://literarydevices.net/analogy/
- pc86 9y agoWow there's very little need to be an asshole.
- Crye 9y agoSeriously? You think you receive every single packet or that there isn't any filtering done for technical purpose done at your computer? It's the same principal. You are bad at analogies.
- jvergeldedios 9y agoThen imagine that the audiologist is being paid to force the patient into hearing advertisements rather than working with the patient to understand what sounds they want to hear. Does that fix the analogy?
- onion2k 9y agoThat makes it a better analogy. Hearing aid users get to choose how loud sounds are based on what they want to hear; people who make noise don't make that decision for them. A hearing aid user who tunes their device to make adverts quieter is the equivalent of a web user who installs an ad blocker. That's exactly how the web should be - users should choose what's a priority to them, not the suppliers of the service. Just as advertisers should never be allowed to make their adverts sound louder to hearing aid users.
