Voice-Quieting Face Masks

This Voice-Absorbing Face Mask Prioritizes Privacy

— January 30, 2023 — Lifestyle
This voice-absorbing face mask has been created by PriestmanGoode in partnership with Skyted as a multifunctional accessory for professionals and privacy-focused individuals alike to use.

The face mask is integrated with a miniaturized version of jet engine silencer that will allow the wearer to talk freely without disturbing those around them and to keep conversations private. The mask is planned to be crafted with sustainable and recycled materials, and will offer an N95 filtration to make it well-suited for use when traveling on public transit or planes.

The voice-absorbing face mask will be launched in two versions this spring as part of a Kickstarter campaign. The mask, while great for private communication, also works to block out external noise to help the person be heard by those on the other end of the line.
Trend Themes
1. Voice-absorbing Face Masks - The development of voice-absorbing face masks may create opportunities for professionals and individuals who prioritize privacy to communicate more freely without disturbing others or compromising their privacy.
2. Sustainable Personal Protective Equipment - The use of sustainable and recycled materials in the manufacturing of face masks may disrupt the personal protective equipment industry and provide eco-friendly alternatives for consumers.
3. Multifunctional Face Masks - Creating face masks with additional features, such as noise-blocking and voice-absorption technology, may lead to disruptive innovation and new market opportunities in the fashion and health industries.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The integration of voice-absorbing and noise-blocking technology into face masks may open up new opportunities for innovation in the fashion industry, especially as the demand for functional and stylish personal protective equipment increases.
2. Healthcare - Voice-absorbing face masks may provide benefits for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who need to communicate with other team members during procedures without disturbing patients or compromising privacy.
3. Personal Protective Equipment - The development of sustainable and innovative alternatives to traditional face masks may disrupt the personal protective equipment industry and create new opportunities in the manufacturing, distribution, and sales of personal protective equipment.
