Earpiece system reduces noise

Air Force Reserve Command aviators will soon be wearing the Attenuating Custom Communications Earpiece System, or ACCES. The custom fit earpieces help to reduce noise by 40 decibels and provides clearer radio communication in the cockpit. The Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, developed ACCES when Air Force maintenance crews reported problems communicating with each other and with pilots when jet engines were in high-power settings.
