Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Caty has a Sansa m240. It has about 4 buttons. The buttons are small but Caty doesn't have any problem using them. I did replace the ear buds with regular earphones. She couldnt' keep them in her ears. I imagine because her ears are smaller than most peoples. Heck I have trouble keeping mine in too. Caty's mp3 only uses one AAA battery. Mine has to be recharged on the computer and that just wouldn't do for her. IF she's jumping on the trampoline and comes in to get her battery replaced, she would be quite upset if she had to wait for it to charge. Mine is also a Sansa, I didn't spend the big bucks for the Ipod brands but I have to say they have alot more fun accessories. It was Caty's birthday present and she has loved it. I don't know what to get CAty for Christmas either. There is a new Full House DVD coming out in December...that will be one thing.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Trent found an ipod shuffle far easier than the mp3 player we have. For me the ipod is easier no batteries the mp3 needed batteries more or less daily. Keep smiling Jan Mother of Trent 22yo w/DS from the LandDownUnder Ipods Hi everyone, It is has been a long time since I've posted! We are all doing well. started middle school this year and loves it....especially taking the big bus, which is also going well. I am starting to think about Christmas and was thinking of getting an MP3. He LOVES music, but skips around his CD's to his favorite songs and so I was thinking an MP3 player with all his favorites would be great. Does anyone know of a kid-friendly player that doesn't require fabulous fine motor skills? Any other Christmas ideas for a middle schooler would be great! It gets so hard each year coming up with something new. Thanks, (12); Grace (9); (3...almost 4) Click reply to all for messages to go to the list.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 > Anyone know if iPods are fairly safe for people with emf sensitivities? I suspect that they could bother someone, especially if worn on the body, and especially if they have a color display. Also the earphones could cause problems. I use an iRiver IFP-799 MP3 player in my car, and it doesn't bother me, but it has no color display (B & W with backlight usually off), it is not on my person (it sits on the passenger seat), and I don't use earphones (it plugs into my car stereo).

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 There was some report on how an iPod could affect a pacemaker. Marc's advice sounds good.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 I tried my CellSensor 1 axis AC Gauss meter on my two earphones over an mp3 player and did some 'amateur' measures (I also tried with a compass): - little earphones from a MP3 player: oscillations between 0 and 1mG touching the earphone, oscillations between 0 and 0.5mG at aprox 1cm. and 20º deviation touching the border of a compass. - medium-size headphones with micro mainly for skype or VOIP talk: 5-50mG oscillations touching the earphone 1-3mG oscillations at aprox 1cm of the earphone, and 90º deviation touching the border of a compass. I'm really surprised by the relatively high measurements on the medium-size headphones. I'm wondering how this could affect the health in positive or negative way.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Thanks for the replies. I have a walkman with no ill effects. I don't know anything about flash drive - is it less of an emf source than hard drives? blessings, Paresh http://home.earthlink.net/~sunmoonyoga/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume so, although I don't have any hard evidence to back that up! My MP3 player uses a flash drive, and is supposed to last 40 hours on a single AA battery, so it's not using much power.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Were those measurements with music playing? If so it's probably the magnets in the speakers. I personally don't like the idea of having audio frequency fields near my head. I have felt that phones are a problem, but not sure if it's the audio frequencies or high frequency noise on the line (which is tough to filter out). The good news is that the induced electromotive force from an oscillating magnetic field is proportional to the area the field passes through. So, a few milligauss at your ear might be much safer than a few milligauss over your whole head. (Then again, for other conceivable mechanisms of harm, this might not be true). I've met very sensitive people who don't notice a reaction from headphones. If they were a problem there are expensive electrostatic ones that might be safer, and those cheap airline air tubes that certainly would be.

You can use the Air Tube Headsets (if your audio device has a 2.5mm jack for headsets) to eliminate speaker emissions near the head. They are not stereo however. You can use 2 of them with a Y-adapter, but still only get mono sound. See http://www.lessemf.com/cellphon.html#236 Emil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 It's for the iphone or itouch. go to www.proloquo2go.com to see the software. ipods Hi, Awhile ago some people were writing about using Ipods or Iphones for their non verbal kids. Could somebody send me info about that. I need know if they used Ipods or Iphones, the app they used and the cost of the app. This is for a student with Autism that I work with. Thanks for any help you can give me. Pat, mom to (28-DS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
