A little big thing

Apple Has a Hot New Product. It’s a Hearing Aid.

Walking around with something in your ear has become so completely normalized—even cool!—that medical professionals believe people who might not wear a hearing aid will feel perfectly comfortable popping in AirPods.
I'm not sure about the cool (see the link) but the AirPods in question (I happen to own a pair) are already super useful. Compared to other conventional ear buds they're on the pricey side, but compared to hearing aids — even the OTC ones — they're cheap. And the hearing aid part, well, I can use.

And so can a lot of other people, according to this WSJ piece.
