Presented by Justin Lockey, the lead guitarist of The Editors, this captivating series unravels the impact of hearable technology that is revolutionising the way we interact with sound, with our devices, and with each other.
As a musician, Justin's fascination with hearables began when he experienced hearing loss in one ear.
This personal journey led him to delve into a world of bionic hearing, in-ear AI, empathetic health tech and instant translation.
Sound can soothe but can it really heal? In this episode Justin looks behind the curtain at the billion dollar audio wellness business to see where the future might lie for this booming sector.
In the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" the Babel fish was science fiction. Today this ability to speak across the barrier of language is a reality. But what does this mean for how we interact with the world and are there any downsides to more communication? Justin and his friends lead us to the edge of WW3 to find out.
Bionic hearing for all is a reality. Justin gets his comic book fix and looks at what having super hearing might mean for how we see the world.
Justin concludes his journey into the world of hearable technology with a look to the future and how the worlds of the metaverse and new audio tech are coming together to create new experiences beyond our imagination.
Will we end up as servants to godlike AI audio assistants augmenting our every move as we live our lives? In this episode Justin explores a dystopian reality that might be closer than we think.
Why does music make us feel? In this episode Justin talks to his friends about how and why music has this power, and what hearable technology will do to amplify it.
