The Goldfish Hearing Aid
This is not quite as good as the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy's fictional bablefish that converts speech from one language to any other by just sticking a babelfish in your ear. The Goldfish is based on the concept that real goldfish have a short term memory, the gadget therefore allows you to replay the last 10 seconds of conversation so that you can never miss anything. This is great for the times when you thought you heard something or did not quite understand what someone else said so you replay the conversation.
