QUIETPRO+ Intelligent Hearing System saves your ears

A protective earplug is a double-edged sword by itself – it not only blocks out the loud, harmful noises, it will also stop you from hearing peoples’ voices. Of course, this is where the QUIETPRO+ Intelligent Hearing System steps in to help – it comprises of a couple of regular-looking in-ear plugs that are wired to a small electronic control unit. Whenever it detects a fairly loud noise which could affect your ears in a dangerous manner, noise-canceling sound waves will be sent to the headset automatically. Should things quiet down, sounds like human voices will be amplified, augmenting your hearing abilities. Meant to be used in the armed forces such as the U.S. Army, the manufacturer is now working on the next generation of the device for oil rig workers. When will we see a commercial grade version?
