Pairing a bluetooth device with your sensear headset


How Sensear technology works

The Sensear earmuffs and earplugs developed by Sensear allow people to talk face to face and use mobile phone two-way radio communication in high noise (above 85 dB(A)) environments while providing hearing protection. Sensear uses a patented software system called SENS that actively ‘listens’ and seeks out human voices and actively suppresses background noise. Each Sensear unit is the size of a mobile phone and uses a series of directional microphones that process sound from all directions. A complex frequency algorithm determines which direction speech is coming from. Where speech is detected, ambient noise from other directions is suppressed while the speaker's voice is enhanced. The processed sound is delivered in stereo to the wearer. The units have a Bluetooth capability so users can talk on the phone without removing their protection.

Worldwide distribution

The company has recently established distribution and marketing bases in Europe and the US. They supply to manufacturing, mining, construction, military, law enforcement and entertainment industry customers. Customers include Alcoa, Boeing, Qantas, OneSteel and BHP Billiton.

Awards

Sensear has won several industry awards including an Australian Design Award, the DuPont Innovation Award and two iAward’s from the Australian Information Industry Association.
