Can you hear me now - with this new IV speaker?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43880points) January 5th, 2016

Would any woman actually use this?

Intravaginal speaker lets your baby jam out in the womb

“A tiny intravaginal device similar to a tampon, Babypod contains speakers that play music at 54 decibels—about the intensity of speaking in hushed tones—and loud enough for the baby to hear without damaging fetal hearing. ”

At first I thought is was a joke. Would you put that up there? It seems so unsanitary. Look at the speaker holes. What bugs are hiding in there? Ick!
Wouldn’t the baby be safer if the mother avoided a vaginal infection or two?
Sure I know it is washable. but still…
Ick!

On the other hand playing something with a mad bass beat might be interesting.

Why music? Couldn’t the mom play TED podcasts? Or maybe broadcasts of baseball games? Or (god forbid) sermons by Jerry Falwell?

@elbanditoroso Great ideas! I was thinking along the lines of steam locomotive sound effects.

Cripes. Is nothing sacred.

Like the baby isn’t going to be inundated with sensory overload it’s entire life, as it is.

No, I wouldn’t advocate for anything that comes between a baby and it’s mother that isn’t extra-uterine.

~ I’ll bet for an extra 20 bucks you can get it with flashing disco lights. Crazy.

(Although… I’d love to date a woman wearing one.)
I can see the light!

It would be to a foetus what noisy neighbours are to us.

I can just see it now: “Fetus Einstein” tapes!

Well, speakers transmitting the right vibratory frequencies could conceivably make mommy happy, and the elevated levels of “joy juice” in mommy’s bloodstream, passing through to baby, could possibly raise the baby’s serotonin levels…
Or am I overthinking this? ;-)

Hahaha….insane. Does it come with the Baby Einstein chip and ABC’‘s pre-birth programming?

@canidmajor Our minds were exactly in the same place.
