Sorry I wasn't listening, my ear was talking
We've all been there. In a nosy restaurant or sporting event when someone calls your cellphone. After about 2 minutes of yelling, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU," you give up and hang the phone up.
Tuesday, a Japanese company released a device that could solve these annoying situations. This device allows people to "speak" through their ear while on their cellphone. The device, which has been named "e-Mimi-kun" (good ear boy), detects air vibrations inside the ear.
The company claims that exterior nose is reduced six fold and said that they have the technology to reduce it up to 10 fold.
Apparently though, the only drawback is that you are required to wear a hard hat.
