Speak Through 'ear'

Japanese are a century head of the rest of the world in technologies and gadget findings. On Tuesday, they recently unveiled a device that will allow the users to speak through the "ears", so that they can make use of their mobile phones even in noisy areas. The device named "e-Mimi-Kun" (good ear boy) - doubles as an earphone and a microphone by detecting air vibrations within the ear. This ear-piece can be connected to a mobile phone or wireless bluetooth headset, so that the users need not cover their mouth while speaking in the noisy places. The chip technology helps reducing the noise levels by six-folds and thus enabling the users to speak in real hands-free. It will be mainly useful to people working in factories, amusement parks, restaurants, etc.
