A Japanese company has unveiled a new device that will allow people “speak” through their ear so they can use their mobile telephones in noisy areas.
The device - named “e-Mimi-kun” (good ear boy) - doubles as an earphone and a microphone by detecting air vibrations inside the ear, developer NS-ELEX said.
The earpiece and an accompanying device can be connected to a mobile phone, or wirelessly to a Bluetooth handset, so that users no longer have to cover their mouths when speaking in a loud environment, the company said.
“E-mimi kun”, which has earphone and microphone inside an earpiece and noise cancelling LSI to have conversations with clear voice under noisy circumstance such as factory and event site.
Exterior noise is reduced six-fold by the earpiece, it said, while a chip developed by Sanyo Electric for the accompanying device reduces sound levels ten-fold.
NS-ELEX believes the product would be useful for people working in places such as factories, restaurants and amusement parks.
