Recording EVP--can a device like hearing aids capture EVP?

Question

So, most of us know how EVP is captured, and how it can be heard when it's captured with a device and played back.

Well, I was curious on the capture of EVP sounds with devices other than the recorders and such.... can hearing aids capture EVP? Can cochlear implants capture EVP?

Is it possible?

Answer 1

Electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) is a term used to refer speech or speech-like sounds that are captured on recorded media or other electronic devices and believed by some to be of paranormal origin.

As a cochlear implant is an electronic device EVP like
function can not be positively ruled out. The implants would have to be capable of saving or recording sound though.

Well I am going to offer a different opinion. I find most digital recorders worthless. Many have hard drives and once you upload into the software program the original is lost and any type of editing can be done including introducing fake sounds. If you have a digital recorder that uses one time use CDs are anything that produces a permanent record then you have evidence to present otherwise your recordings are worthless as evidence. I suggest a high quality external microphone that is placed at least 6 feet away from the recorder (I prefer high quality tape) so as to not record the mechanism of the recorder turning. Also do not walk around with the recorder as that will record the sounds of your walking, clothes moving, etc. Always be sure the device is stationary and that the area is clear of normal traffic (humans) that might be recorded, I want a Mercedes for the price of my Honda as well but that doesn't happen. A good Sony CD recorder can run you about $300 (they may have gone up) and a studio quality mic will start at about $150. If one theory is correct (spirits imprint on magnetic tape) then you don't need a recorder just a play back device. Listen to a new tape (this is boring I know first hand). Carry the tape with you and ask your questions or leave it somewhere and after the investigation listen again to see if anything was impressed on it. Spirits may require the machine but in truth we simply don't know. This is easier on the budget. Psi

Answer 3

I don't know what EVP is either, but many newer digital hearing aids have Bluetooth built in, and older techology has DAI (Direct Auditory Input) connections, so if EVP can communicate with either of those two, or with an intermediary device that can produce one of those two as output, you should be good to go.

Answer 4

What's "EVP"? Sounds new-agey.
