The Sound Amplification Earpiece provides a greatly enhanced sound gathering capabilities to the user. The system provides a tunable sensitivity, to enhance soft or faint sounds and an ability to filter other louder noises. A safety override protects the listener from potentially damaging volumes by adjusting the amplitude. In addition to sound amplification it can translate frequencies beyond the normal range of hearing into meaningful sounds. The device fits in or over the ear and can usually be spotted by observers. It runs on a small internal battery that requires recharging every 24 hours of use. The functionality of tuning frequencies can be done either with a supplied hand controller or via a connected Hand Computer.
Similar in function to the Cybernetic ears, this device is removable. There are versions specifically fitted to most races.
