These revolutionary digital ear plugs just raised $250,000 on Kickstarter in 3 days 

A company called Doppler Labs just finished the prototype for an incredible new technology that has the potential to change live concerts and even the way we hear the world. It’s called Here Active Listening, and it’s a wireless earbud that, instead of playing music, lets you control the sound of the world around you.

With the understanding that I don’t have sensory processing problems, I feel like this would be incredibly useful for people with sensory processing issues - like, when everything sounds equally loud, being about to filter out the sudden sirens, beeping, chatter, etc would be a miracle!
