Abstract:
A noise attenuating system, comprising:a core portion, the core portion comprising electronics and a housing; the electronics adapted to attenuate unsafe amplitude sounds, the electronics comprising a microphone adapted to receive a first sound wave, and further adapted to output a first signal corresponding to the first sound wave; circuitry adapted to receive the first signal, filter the first signal into a plurality of bands, identify each of the bands as corresponding to either a first safe amplitude sound or an unsafe amplitude sound, attenuate the amplitude of each of the bands that correspond to an unsafe amplitude sound, and output a second signal, the second signal corresponding to a second safe amplitude sound; a speaker adapted to receive the second signal, and further adapted to output a second sound wave corresponding to the second signal; the housing comprising a first body; a deformable member adapted to fit at least partially inside an ear canal, the deformable member comprising a second body, the second body having an external surface and an internal surface defining an interior portion; wherein the core portion is adapted to fit at least partially inside the interior portion of the deformable member.
