Abstract

The acceptance of westernization has led to the adaptation of many new technologies effecting day to day life in positive and negative ways. One commonly seen addiction is the use of earphones. The earphones are electroacoustic transducers, which convert an electrical signal to a corresponding sound in the user's ear. Headphones are designed to allow a single user to listen to an audio source privately, in contrast to a loudspeaker, which emits sound into the open air, for anyone nearby to hear. Earphones are also known as ear speakers. These have many ill effects which would lead to deafness. This paper aims at resolving those problems using an alternate earphone, MUEAR.
