New Armory Item - Earpiece Noise Cancellation Upgrade

inspired by existing technologies

they're an upgrade that you clip onto your radio earpiece (and presumably uh also jam into your other ear) that serves similarly to earplugs, but without actually rendering you deaf. the users will thus be made resistant to deafness via explosions and more resistant to flashbangs, but they will still be able to hear things, converse, and use their radios

this will help make flashbang grenades an actually viable option for security forces to use rather than a nearly useless weapon of last resort that tends to mess up the user about as much as the target

this will help make crowd control situations (see also recent interest in REV) more manageable so long as nobody steals em and your flashbang supply holds out

placing them inside the armory will help keep them from being too regularly stolen or too regularly used to easily quash traitorous activities

if this tips the balance too far in favor of security, consider scattering more regular earplugs around for traitors and revs to swap into their ears to keep up the fight

ps i worked in a place with noisy machinery that had mandatory ear safety equipment, earplugs were cheap and plentiful, boxes of wee foam ones were open for all to grab some at the entrance.

i myself also had nice earmuffs that clipped onto my hard hat because i couldnt stand the unpleasant sensation of earplugs jammed in my ears. the safety guys said the earmuffs were less effective than earplugs but i was willing to take the risk

oh yeah and since these proposed earpiece noise cancellation things are fancy equipment, maybe emp grenades could be considered as a counter to them, causing them to stop working properly and start blocking all noise or stop blocking any noise at all for a period of time or even permanently, balance exact details are up to u

Good idea, misto.

[Musketman12]

EMPing them should make it emit a super loud noise and stun you for a bit.

[Vitatroll]

I like the idea. I'd just hope that they don't get stolen too often.
