Smart Hearing Protection Device
The Smart Hearing Protection Device is designed to act not only as a hearing protection but
also provide situational awareness to the user. Smart detection algorithms are designed to
aid in notifying user of any alert sounds that the user might otherwise not be able to hear with
a traditional hearing protection device.
picoTera’s Smart Hearing Protection Device offers the following main features:
1. Digital Ear The device will actively listen to surrounding sounds and search for
incoming warning sounds. Once the warning sound (e.g. back-up alarm) was
detected, the hearing protection device will vibrate and notify the user.
2. Noise Reduction This feature allows users to hear surrounding sounds with less
noise. It also amplifies vocal audio, making it easier to communicate.
3. Built-in PTT All units are shipped with built-in push to talk service. This service can
establish voice communications between multiple users. The key advantage of our
service is that it can cover unlimited range (hence the name URPTT).
Smartphone App
The custom app allows users to connect their picoTera device to their phones via BLE
connection and allows them to customize settings as desired.
picoTera’s Smartphone Companion App offers the following main features:
1. Customization Users can enable or disable some of the functions of the device. For
example, a user can configure the device to only detect backup alarms and nothing
else.
2. Notifications App can notify the user of an incoming phone call (through Bluetooth).
3. Communication App can enhance vocal communications between users, including
an emergency panic button that notifies all surrounding users with picoTera Smart
Hearing Protection Devices.
