Listen up: communication aid for noisy sites

Safety product supplier Arco has launched a hearing protection system which cuts out background noise but amplifies speech. The Sensear Smart Muff features SENS technology – speech enhancing noise suppression – and enables effective communication in a noisy work environment. It simultaneously isolates and enhances speech while suppressing harmful background noise. The result is a high quality natural speech played directly into the Sensear earmuffs or connected via Bluetooth to mobile phone and two-way radio. By suppressing rather than eliminating all background noise, the Sensear technology enables the user to remain aware of his or her working environment and continue to communicate effectively while remaining protected. The Smart Muff enables face to face, mobile phone and two-way radio communication in high noise environments without having to be removed, ensuring the wearer remains protected and productive.
