Received element13 Foil Headwave Aluminium aTtenuator DevKit for review

5 May 2026

I just received the Aluminium aTtenuator DevKit for review.

The sturdy Aluminium foil was neatly folded and came with a complement of stickers.

I had proposed using the foil as a Faraday shield to mitigate my tinnitus.

The most difficult part of the roadtest will be the physical construction of the helmet to put over my head. Never worked will Aluminium foil before. Testing will be easy as no instrumentation is required to tell if the "noise" stops .

Of course, I don't know if Element14 will allow me to post an element13 review here...

I received the same! Gotta love it when a company commits to their April Fools joke to this level! Guess I better start figuring out how to fold a tinfoil hat!
