The Deafinite Style is a concept from Munich-based Designaffairs STUDIO that turns a hearing aid into a piece of jewelry, provided you’re up for a bit of lobe stretching to get started. The main advantage they propose (aside from an instant hipster-grunge-punk look) is the opportunity to embed the TriMic System — a highly effective directional microphone system made from 3 individual microphones — into the plug, helping people who suffer from severe hearing loss.

Inside the fake player he placed an RFID reader, which gets the information from the RFID-tagged record. Once it detects it—and the user moves the tonearm into position—the record player starts reproducing a playlists. Matt wanted to be able to touch the songs, like people used to do back in the day, when people wore funny shirts and pants and watched Three Is Company in analog TV. If you want all the inconvenience of physical records combined all the inconveniences of cold digital music, you absolutely need this. I know I do. [Real Tomato]

Why Paint Your Room When You Can Get a Color-Changing Wall Instead [Concept]: “

See this wall of colorful squares? It’s actually a concept design consisting of a bunch of small triangular panels which can be spun ’round on whim to change the way your room looks. Or to spell out naughty things.

Ok, so the concept photos only spell out ‘S-E-X’ which won’t make too many people giggle and blush, but just imagine the potential ways you could satisfy your inner decorating perv. And even without that silliness, it’s still a pretty neat thought that you could completely change the look of a room without having to reach for the paint buckets. [Yanko Design]
