Smart Hearing Protection

Welcome to Smart Hearing Protection™

Smart Hearing ProtectionSmart Hearing Protection™. When you think about hearing protection, you usually think about blocking out all noise, both what you don't want to hear and, unfortunately, what you do want hear. What if someone were to invent something that allowed you to block out what you didn't want to hear but would still let you hear what you want to hear in full range high fidelity? What would you call it? How about "Smart Hearing Protection™."

Al Werner, inventor of the Smart Hearing Protection™ system, was faced with exactly the problem mentioned above. As the principle oboist in several Rochester NY area orchestras, he was often faced with the problem of being deafened by the trumpets behind him while hardly being able to hear winds he must blend with on either side of him. Applying his 45 years of inventive experience in electronics, he developed the patent pending Smart Hearing Protection™.

As word of the invention spread, so did the applications:

"I believe Smart Hearing Protection is a well-thought-out and well- engineered solution to a serious problem musicians face. It has the potential to improve one’s listening in a playing situation while simultaneously decreasing the risk of damage from excessive volume."
