With all senses failing, at some point I will be so far removed from reality
with all the aids that I might as well watch it on television 😊

Subject: [birdky] App to help birders with high pitch hearing loss
I came across this article and figured I’d pass it along. It is about an app to
help those who have lost high pitched hearing to hear birdsong again.

I downloaded the app (hearbirdsagain) and it works well in realtime. I can hear
well so it was difficult to figure how well it works. I tried listening to a
recording of a Blackburnian Warbler and it did bring the pitch lower. I’d be
curious if to know if this worked for those with hearing difficulty.
