Abstract

Apparatus for the reception of acoustic information that comprises a support; communication means for receiving analog or digital signals containing the relevant information; transducers for transforming said received signals into mechanical signals or physical stimuli such that they may be perceived by the user without passing through the ears and the eardrums of said user; and sound screens actuatable between at least two positions, an active position, in which they substantially prevent sound waves from penetrating into the ears of the user, and an inactive position, in which they fully allow sound waves to penetrate into the ears of the user.
