In the pursuit of improving patient comfort and auditory environments within healthcare, a novel Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) headphone has been conceptualized. This innovative device features a dynamic noise modulation system that transitions between ANC and transparency modes, tailored to the acoustic needs of patient rooms, operating theatres, ICUs, and dental practices. It is designed for use in sleep laboratories to enhance rest and in audiometry rooms for precise auditory assessments. The portable and cost-effective design eliminates the need for traditional acoustic modifications. Post-ear surgery patients benefit from its calming auditory settings, while pediatric care is supported through its soothing properties. Its versatility extends to diagnostic imaging and recovery rooms, ensuring tranquil environments. Beyond healthcare, this ANC headphone has potential therapeutic applications, including vestibular rehabilitation, by supporting the recovery of the villi in semicircular canals. Its adaptability across environments such as libraries, mining, production industries, theatres, and urban noise landscapes highlights its broad utility. Although the ANC circuitry has been carefully designed, empirical validation is still pending. This manuscript explores the headphone’s diverse applications and its ability to transform noise management and auditory health across multiple domains. Tailored modes for specific scenarios, including traffic noise, emphasize its innovative potential as a key tool in auditory technology.
