A Japanese company Tuesday unveiled a new device that will allow
people "speak" through their ear so they can use their
mobile telephones in noisy places.
The device -- named "e-Mimi-kun" (good ear boy) --
doubles as an earphone and a microphone by detecting air vibrations
inside the ear, developer NS-ELEX Co. said.
The earpiece and an accompanying device can be connected to a
mobile phone, or wirelessly to a Bluetooth handset, so that users
no longer have to cover their mouths when speaking in a loud environment,
the company said.

Exterior noise is reduced six-fold by the earpiece, it said,
while a chip developed by Sanyo Electric for the accompanying
device reduces sound levels ten-fold, it added.
NS-ELEX believes the product would be useful for people working
in places such as factories, restaurants and amusement parks.
