Hearing Aid and Bluetooth Earbuds

June 7, 2024

The Olive Air AI Hearing Aid and ANC Bluetooth Earbuds combines advanced hearing aid functionality with the convenience of noise-canceling Bluetooth earbuds. These dual-purpose earbuds aim to enhance the auditory experience for users, whether they need hearing support or simply want to enjoy their favorite music without background noise. Olive Air is a prime example of how technology can be harnessed to address multiple needs simultaneously.

The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature allows users to block out unwanted ambient noise, making it easier to focus on music, calls, or conversations. This is particularly useful in noisy settings like public transport or busy streets. Here is how it works: small microphones on the earbuds pick up the ambient noise around the user. The built-in electronics analyze the noise pattern. The device generates an anti-noise signal, which is a sound wave with the same amplitude but an inverted phase (a mirror image) of the ambient noise. When the anti-noise signal is played back through the headphones, it combines with the ambient noise. The two opposing sound waves cancel each other out, resulting in a significant reduction of the perceived noise.
