Abstract
A directional noise-cancelling and sound detection system and method for sound targeted hearing and imaging is donned on the ears. The system provides a microphone array that selectively focuses on audio signals from at least one sound source to enable selective listening to the audio signal and directional noise cancelling, including actively reducing background sounds. The system provides an image capturing device that works in tandem with the microphone array to generate images of, and enable viewing of, the sound source. The system also allows the audio signal and the image to be captured from a 360° range relative to the earpiece. A processor operatively connects to the microphone array and the image capturing device to analyze the audio signal and the image for selectively listening, restricting, and adjusting the intensity of sound. A digital display control unit regulates selection, intensity, and restriction of sound transmitted through the earpiece.
