Noise cancellation technology

QuietOn 2 is electronic hearing protection device which has two modes – Active Noise Cancelling mode and hear through mode.

Active Noise Cancelling mode is excellent when you want to reduce noise as much as possible. Focus on your work and feel relaxed even though background noise level is high.

Hear through mode is good when you need to communicate with others, or if the noise is not constant.

ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING

How ANC works

Active Noise Control (ANC), Active Noise Cancelling, and Active Noise Reduction (ANR) are methods where an unwanted sound is reduced by adding another sound specifically made to cancel it out. Our active noise cancelling earbuds use a microphone to sample the sound, and a speaker to create a phase-shifted sound that cancels the original sound.

Dental clinic

This graph illustrates typical noise sources in dental clinics and how much noise reduction is achieved with QuietOn.

HOW IT WORKS

Hear through mode

Hear through mode uses external microphone to get the sound and plays it to ear with speaker. When audio level increases close to unhealthy level electronics starts to limit the audio level. This works fast and automatically. For example you can discuss with patient and when suction and handpiece volume increases noise reductions safes the hearing. When noise level decreases it will played though again normally and you will have a full hearing capability.
