Don’t want to freak you out…

When we used get into bar fights we always kept clear of the guys with cauliflower ears and flat noses. 

@ william53b:

     I’ve been working on some implants, that will save you the trouble.

     Coming soon, to an Otoplasty Specialist, near you.

I have dinky ears, and they are almost flat against my head. I know when I’m listening to music with someone else, we are hearing two completely different systems.

I found that by placing foam earplugs behind them while I listen, bringing the back of the pinna out and forward it makes the music sound so much more notably better. Cupping my hands behind them works even better, as if I’m straining to hear something far away. But how the heck am I going to enjoy a cocktail? 😉

I wonder about how the quality of each persons pinna and it’s ability to direct sound into the ear canal affects comments here. People who’s systems sound lifeless should try this to see if it’s the system or their ears.

You know you haven’t been to a site in a while when, all of a sudden, there are images. When did this happen?

Wonder of the inventor started their research with a Dixie Cup cut in half? If they weren’t so ugly there’d be useful. They would be much more hip with a bow on top through. These babies and a mask to go with them? Smokin! 😂

I've designed some like the foam ones mentioned, tried different materials and whatnot, but never got around to making them, since the soft foam plugs work so well. The hearing muffs, plastic shell, that I cut the fronts off of and removed the shielding material, did a great job of blocking ambient noise and making the sound more dynamic and cleaner.
