Aware Technology is great for communicating in sporadically loud environments. Noises like nail guns and hammers will be blocked by Aware Technology, while safe environmental sounds will be amplified. Aware Technology is especially helpful in environments where enhanced situational awareness is necessary.
Aware Technology is not well suited for consistently loud environments. When exposed to steady-state noise above 85dB, Aware Technology will passively block all outside sound, similar to a standard hearing protector. Aware Technology will not amplify outside noise until the steady state-noise ends or falls below 85dB.  In these cases, we recommend turning Aware Technology completely off until you’re done working in that environment.
