A new pair of “smart earplugs” called Hush, combine sound-eliminating foam and noise-masking technology. Many wearables monitor your sleep, but they don’t provide solutions to allow for better sleep. The Hush device fits comfortably in a user’s ear, and it is surrounded in a soft silicon surface. The product helps users sleep through snoring, loud neighbors, and other noises but it doesn’t block the noises that are necessary, like alarm clocks or emergency phone calls.
“Hush’s ultimate goal is to help people sleep better in the context of others around them, and ultimately enable people to live a better quality of life,” said Daniel “Ewok” Lee of Hush Technology, in a statement. “The world is only getting noisier, and we aim to provide a way for people to live together harmoniously despite this.”
It uses Bluetooth to connect with a corresponding smartphone app, where the user can choose which notifications are and are not welcome. The device utilizes a tiny speaker to deliver notifications, and also can play soft, soothing sounds like white noise, ocean waves, and raindrops for over ten hours.
Hush claims that the smart earplugs eliminate up to 70 db of volume, and let in ambient sounds for 8 hours on a single charge. The wireless earpieces are made of silicone and come with a sliding charging case (which also acts as a cell phone battery pack).
