If you noticed a right turn/left turn difference, how about one Phiten thing on each side of a headband or hat?
Stu, what sonic differences do you hear while driving at night?

As I said I do have a phiten necklace and there is no difference from the wristband in the car It would sit only 5-6 inches below my ears. Placing the wristband on my right arm displays no change in sound as the arm is constantly within the confines of the car.
Sorry, I don't drive much at night at all these days, but I would suspect that since traffic is lighter i would hear more, but that would be more due to ambient noise, wouldn't it?
On the other hand, sound in a car may be affected by the fact that the metal chassis and body may function as a Faraday cage, although the high ambient noise floor inherent is certainly a negative factor.
Shannon Dickson, the former writer for Stereophile, built a home which tied in the re bar in the flooring and the walls to create a pseudo Faraday cage. It was grounded in the middle of his sound room to three copper rods driven 12 feet deep to make the ground connection. I believe the contractors went nuts when he specified that the re bar was to have all welded joints in order to facilitate the shielding effect. Of course, re bar does make for a relatively poor conductor so I am nt sure how effective his cage was.
His listening room was extraordinarily quiet however. I did not get a chance to hear it, but an acquaintance who worked in the room said that once the doors were closed you could clearly hear the blood pulsing in your head. Shannon said that as a test of his room acoustics you could clearly hear Rickie Lee Jones' back up guitarist say "pick it up" a couple of times during her Pop Pop CD in the sing whose title starts off Spring has...I can't remember the rest. That was about 2 to 3 minutes into the song where her singing starts to slow in tempo. That's pretty good resolution, I dare say and unequaled in any other system I have heard.

Have you ever noticed a difference if you have taken Motrin/Alleve/Iburpofen for an ache or pain?
My wife says she notices differences in the sound of the Hi Fi if she has had Motrin that day.
She notices it with wine tasting, too.
Cheers, Stu!
I apologize if any offense was taken. I take baby aspirin as therapy to thin my blood: two tablets, one in the morning and one in the evening. Occasionally run out and I still notice the effect even without the aspirin. BTW, I had, for the vast majority of my life, rarely ever used any painkillers. Even my aspirin bottles would often expire before I ever had a chance to open their seals.
As you may be aware, I am on dialysis and I do notice that after treatment when they remove water from my system (up to 3 kilos, depending on my weight) my hearing does change a bit as my ears tend to pop. I suspect that it is due to water being removed from my ear canals however. It recovers after a few hours as I rehydrate myself and as the water becomes re-distributed.
As far as the Phiten is concerned, I do not believe it needs much UV to work, and the amounts in regular lighting can trigger its workings. At least I can feel the effects under incandescent and fluorescent lighting. I do notice when lying in bed with no lights on, the effects are not very noticeable. As I had previously posted I have a fistula in my left arm where they fuse the artery and vein so the circulation is a bit short circuited in my left hand. For a long time, my left hand was noticeably colder than my right and when removing the wristband I do notice that the hand drops a degree or two. That being said, some of my other friends report no change in circulation with the use, so it may be dependent on the individual.
