I tried the world's first smart earplugs for sleep that drown out noise and play soothing sounds - here's what they're like
Hush
At first, it was difficult to sleep in the new place. One of the biggest problems was noise. My new apartment is directly above a major highway that flows through Brooklyn, and late-night traffic and honking can be annoying to deal with while trying to sleep.
Thankfully, I got a well-timed email from Daniel Lee, one of the creators and the mechanical engineer behind Hush, which claims to have made the world's first smart earplugs. Lee offered me a pair to try, since they can help you sleep through noise, but also let certain sounds in (like music, or your morning alarms). Useful stuff!
I've had the chance to try Hush for several weeks now. Here's what it's like.
