Funny thing about that? when I do a google search for "earbuds," no hearing aids come up.
When I do a google search for "hearing aid," no earbuds show up.
When I do a google search for "earbud hearing aids," the results are a combination of the little silicone tips that some hearing aids use to make them more comfortable, but mostly I find systems of headphones and earbuds that plug into devices but can be used alongside a hearing aid.
So, yeah, hearing aids and earbuds are not the same thing, so when the employee commented he was wearing earbuds, there is no reason to believe he meant "the man wore a hearing aid as his computer's speakers broadcast audio for the whole restaurant to hear." The only reason to assume that this was the case would be if you were in fact confusing "earbuds" with "hearing aid."
Google does not have all of the information that is out there.
Granted, but if the usage of "earbud" in relation to hearing aids is such an uncommon thing, then why would you assume that a random McDonald's employee would mean "obscure reference to hearing aids" over "common reference to standard earphones?"
There are Hearing Aids that are a box that you can hook up Ear Buds to.
There are... I can't remember their names but some trendy Bluetooth things that look like some Hearing Aids and some... I can't think of the word,.. people on stage use stuff that looks like these things. Oh crud,.. Ears Clips or something.
All we know about this section is the Employee claimed the man has hearing problems and the Employee says the man is wearing earbuds.
Just too many styles of everything any more XD There are Hearing Aides that are similar to this. But this is for Music. Then there are Hearing Aides that take a range of Earbuds that were originally intended for your phone or music.
Right, but when the employee states he was wearing earbuds, why would he say "earbuds" if he meant "hearing aid?"
Further, why is it that the employee couldn't hear any wrongdoing coming from the man's speakers, and only told him to keep his own voice down, rather than additionally telling him to turn the speakers down?
Face it, the evidence rather points to the mother being a kook more than it does to this man broadcasting porn to all the patrons in a Micky D's.
The reason why people are jumping to the conclusion he was wearing Hearing Aid was because of the coupling of the Employee saying both the man had hearing problems and the man was wearing earbuds.
I don't know why people aren't jumping to the conclusion that the man was giving attitude to the employee at first as that is what people mean more often when they comment on hearing problems. But since those two things were mentioned at the same time, it is making people jump to the conclusion they were hearing aids. There is a posiblity they weren't hearing aids and they weren't earbuds but they were behind the head headphones or they were blue tooth,.. or... clips... or... there are too many posiblities any more.
We will never know all the details. We will never know the truth. This sucks but this is the truth. Kid could have been reading the text on the screen. A TV could have been on. An employee could have been talking on a phone. We don't know and there are so many other posiblities I can think of. If there is enough accuracy then I think the person on the other end needed lectured and things explained,.. that they were talking to someone in a McDonald's with small children around. If all that was their reaction then they may not have known where the person was, they may have thought the mother was family, or they may have been young. Which is really what I expect if this is highly accurate. The "man" may have been a student. The "man" may have been in high school. The "man" may be living with someone they don't want hearing the "woman" in the video chat. The woman in video chat may have been yelling at someone she thought the man lives with.
