Has anyone heard about a translation device that fits in your ear like a hearing aid.

Not yet, but there are phone apps out now that translate for you and will speak for you. It won't be long. Will all of this Spanish practice be for nothing?

That is also my concern. I hope all this hard work is not for naught. - Elliptizoid, Oct 24, 2011

It was just on TV. Would like a babel fish stuck in my ear. :) - Elliptizoid, Oct 24, 2011

I was at a conference that was in English but the audience was mostly Spanish speakers. Everyone wore something like small earphones with a small electronic box that you could switch from English to Spanish, but the translators were in a booth feeding the translations. What do they do at the UN?

I don't know about now, but that's exactly what they used to do. - territurtle, Oct 22, 2011
