) and you're having a ball. Then bam – it happens again. The scene gets serious, voices drop to whispers and one of your group can't hear what's being said amid the cacophony of sand worms. Cue a dash for the remote, the spilling of chips and a broken mood.
That's apparently why the new wireless speaker OSKAR was created – faller is a new brand from revered German audio specialist sonoro, and its inception comes from this growing real-world issue – hearing difficulty. Founder Marcell Faller decided that he would find a way to help his father enjoy watching the TV again with his family, so started work on the OSKAR wireless TV speech amplifier.
OSKAR was developed and designed in Germany and is available now for £259/€269 in the UK and Europe directly from faller as well as Amazon and selected TV and audio retailers. That works out at around $325 or AU$480, although official availability and pricing for these regions is not yet known. Analysis: hearing loss, and in particular hearing during movies, is a problem faller is right to try to easecomes over loud and clear.
