Reminds me of the Artemis Fowl series or the first Iron Man, awesome to see former science fiction coming closer to reality. Adaptive ear protection in real life would be really interesting on construction sites or for musicians...
I’m sure that I’m not the only one in this boat, but I may be one of the rare males complaining about their wife snoring.
also long term use of ear plugs with sleeping can cause unwanted side-effects.
When we sleep our hearing system does not turn off (safety), and when you wear ear plugs while sleeping you run the risk of making your hearing work harder - and then if you have no plugs in your hearing system is now (hopefully temporarily) more sensitive than before.
Has anyone here tried them? I'm very curious how well they'd work to use at concerts.
Not as much reduction in harmful sounds (do not use with heavy equipment for example) but do a great job of equally attenuating a wide freq band.
