About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges of managing e-waste in AV products and highlights innovative audio solutions for hearing-impaired users.
We love evolving technology. But the biggest problem is where that old tech goes when the new things come in. Or, in the case of a €400,000 experience shuttering, what happens to those solutions when projects don't pan out. What can we do to help the E-Waste issue rather than hinder it? And in keeping with AV enriching lives, looking at the power of audio systems like Auracast to assist hearing-impaired users. The video version of this podcast can be found here.
