1. Moving Humanity Forward

2.  The forums at BionicMe.com are allowing humanity to move
forward through the study and discussion of bionics, robotics,
prosthetics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and virtual
reality.
 Bionics is no longer a one way street, where nature is studied,
copied, and implemented into artificial systems.
 We give you updates on recent activities.
 We have created a community to share the world of Bionics.

3.  The Machines are NOT Coming (But AI is Already Here)
 Which hearing aid manufacturer you want?
 What are the different types of hearing aids?
 Hearing aid repair.
 Fasting for health and long life.
 Can robots be racist?

4.  When people think about robots, many people imagine scary
military robots that can walk and talk like in the movies.
 Robotics has been a big industry for decades. Your car was
built by robots. Some of your electronic gadgets were built by
robots.
 They are still precisely controlled by humans who have input
3D drawings and programmed each and every move the
robotic arm makes.

5.  The Turing Test challenges scientists to develop a software
program that can "fool" the judges into thinking they are
interacting with a real person.
 The Turing Test has long been considered the gold standard
for proving AI. But now that it has officially been beaten,
where will we go next?

6.  Stock Market
 Obviously humans can't react that fast, so it's the programs
that do the dirty work.
 Business Decisions
 Until now, computers were used to crunch numbers. It
started with accounting spreadsheets and has now entered
the age of "Big Data".
 Entertainment
 Besides trivial entertainment, AI could be used as a
personal guide for our days and our lives. Think voice
commands and Siri times a million.

9. 1. Behind the Ear or BTE.
 This is one of the most popular types of hearing aids because
of its durability. Cleaning and maintaining it is easy.
2. On the Ear.
 This is a better option because it provides better comfort
since it doesn’t give you that feeling that something is
plugged in your ear.

10. 3. In the Ear.
 While bigger than the other types of hearing aids, a lot of
people prefer this type because it’s easier to handle than the
smaller types.
4. In the Canal
 They are the smallest because they’re worn right inside the
ear canal. Most people wouldn’t notice that you’re wearing it.
It is virtually unnoticeable.

11.  With these different types of hearing aids, one thing is certain
– you need to go for a trusted brand. This is the best way to
ensure that you get the best hearing aid for your needs and
preferences.
