Innovation is the light at the end of the tunnel
Sensear is a technology company devoted to applying commercial research and scientific discovery to solve the communication needs of industry and individuals.
Sensear Pty Ltd has its headquarters in Perth, in the heart of Australia’s booming resources region of Western Australia. Sensear was formed in 2006 to commercialise technology initially developed by WATRI (Western Australian Telecommunications Research Institute), a joint venture of the internationally respected Curtin University of Technology and the University of Western Australia.
Through extensive research and client trials, Sensear identified a gap in the global hearing protection market and has created the world’s first technology to enable clear, audible communication while retaining optimum hearing protection in high noise environments. No other product available on the market today allows clear and safe communication in varying types of noise above 85 dB(A).
Sensear’s SENS®technology was developed from the ground up to satisfy the needs of industry, with Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) recognised globally as the leading occupational illness. In high noise workplaces and social settings, people who need to communicate have until now been forced to partially or fully remove hearing protection in order to hear speech. Studies by bodies including the World Health Organisation (WHO) have shown that removing hearing protection in environments above 85 dB(A) even momentarily can result in NIHL, a condition for which there is no cure.
Sensear’s SENS®technology products are the only products available on the global market today that are effective in providing communication enabled hearing protection for the three classes of occupational noise exposure: continuous noise (machinery running constantly); intermittent noise (passing vehicle, workshop); and impact noise (gun shot, explosion). Sensear’s range of earmuffs and earplugs represent a paradigm shift in the way people communicate in high noise environments and a revolution in hearing loss prevention in industrial, military, commercial, hospitality, entertainment and domestic settings.
