Hearing Armor is the result of 7 years of research by the Harvard-based biomedical research group led by Dr. Rick Rogers.
The research was commissioned by the U.S. Office of Naval Research to help them find solutions to reduce their most critical and costly biomedical problem of hearing loss as a result of exposure to dangerous high impact noise during field service and training.
The patented technology was specifically designed to intercept dangerous impact sounds that contribute to hearing loss from gunfire, explosions, construction, hammering, or any sound that produces an instantaneous sound pressure increase, while at the same time allowing safe level noises to pass through unhindered.
