Dental earplugs

Summary

For creating a better working environment and dental treatment based on the difficulties and inconvenience the dental professionals had experienced, the company has developed its own algorithm to effectively control dental noise. The algorithm is specialized both for passing through voice and for blocking high-frequency noise generated by dental equipment.

 

They would like to work with distributors who can import, distribute, and promote dental devices, materials, and services. According to sales performance and company scale, exclusive contract could be discussed.

Advantages and Innovations

1. Sound filtering technology

The product is equipped with a technology that reduces surrounding noise and enhances human voice. It blocks high-frequency noise and low-frequency machine noise while allowing human voice frequency to pass through. The used technology is capable of blocking noise in the high-frequency range, which is the area where ambient noise exists, while allowing the human voice frequency to pass through without any distortion.

 

2. AI Voice Mapping technology

The technology incorporates a deep learning algorithm that analyzes sound through AI voice mapping, reducing noise and amplifying voices. The company has developed this technology by training it with thousands of dental noise and normal human voice data. They possess the fundamental technological capabilities for this technology.

Stage of Development

TRL 9 - Already on the market

Description

The company developed this product to help dental professionals protect their hearing from noise, and help patients take a better medical service. Users can use the product simply by putting on earplugs on their ears each. There are two modes, users can change a mode by touching one earplug. Block mode can block all noise and voice. Talk mode can be used when they like to speak with colleagues and patients.

 

Dental noise in dental clinics is severe, reaching over 80dB (80 decibels – equivalent to the noise of a busy downtown street), and more than 40% of dental staff suffer from hearing impairment. This is more than five times the rate of regular workers. 

This dental noise causes discomfort in communication and increases patient dissatisfaction. The problem with existing products is the discomfort of communication. Dental equipment is sharp, so the conventional methods amplify the risk of injury during treatment.

 

Features

It has two functions: Block mode and Talk mode. It reduces dental noise, leading to a decrease in dental phobia, and enables quick diagnosis of patient conditions through clear communication.

Dental noise is reduced, and the doctor's voice is accurately transmitted. Furthermore, it can be connected to multimedia content, such as music or dental information, through Bluetooth.

The conventional technology is different from regular ANC (Noise-canceling headphones) earphones. Conventional ANC earphones are designed for listening to music and have a system that controls daily life noise. However, the company`s technology has a patented technology called AI sound mapping. The algorithm, trained on over 10,000 dental noise data, can distinguish between noise and speech and deliver a speech effectively. ANC needs to operate in real-time, resulting in significant battery consumption and a maximum usage time of six hours. In contrast, the product can be used for more than 12 hours, making it the optimal product for workers who require more than 8 hours of working time.

 

In actuality, compared to existing ANC products, the company`s product reduced dental noise by over 20% in key dental noise areas and increased speech transmission by 1.5 times.

In tests conducted in dental environments, there was a more than 70% reduction in chair time for dental phobia patients and over 80% increase in satisfaction.
