My father's in his mid 70s and his hearing isn't very good in the frequency range that would be useful for finding his vacuum leaks.

I was thinking about setting him up with a directional microphone and a pitch-shifter app to bring environmental sounds down a couple octaves so he can hear them. There are tons of Android/iPhone apps that will pitch-shift in post, but none of the trial/freemium ones seem to work on a realtime monitor stream, especially on an external USB (UAC) microphone. I don't want to start buying dozens of apps just to try them.

Any app suggestions or other ideas for him?

 

Saw this over on the other site. Seems like a fantastic idea.

 

I've been trying to minimize my US buying. Can't found a way to get my kids off the US broccoli yet, but this site has been useful helping me find Canadian alternatives to a lot of packaged shelf-stable products.

I've seen a lot of made-in-USA products placed on the shelf upside down. That helps, please keep doing it!

My question: which grocery stores in town are doing the best jobs of making it clear which foods are domestic?
