PCT No. PCT/GB82/00176 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 9, 1983 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 9, 1983 PCT Filed Jun. 11, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO82/04479 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 23, 1982.Apparatus for improving the audibility of incident sound (4) to a person (3) operating in an environment where there is a substantial background noise field (2) coming from a source (1) of repetitive noise, comprises an adaptable waveform generator (7), a first electro-acoustic transducer (10) receiving a synthesized cancelling waveform from the generator (7) and generating a cancelling noise to at least partly null the background noise, a second electro-acoustic transducer (11) to sense the partially nulled background noise, and adaptor (13) to modify the output of the generator (7) on the basis of the electrical output signal from the second transducer to minimize the nulled background noise, and sensor (5) to feed a triggering signal (6) derived from the source to the waveform generator. The electro-acoustic transducers (10, 11) can be mounted in headset (8) holding the transducers adjacent to an ear of said person without substantially impeding the arrival of said incident sound (4) to said ear. |
