About this tag
Acoustic cancellation technology is being explored to reduce patient anxiety during dental visits. A device described in a BBC News article cancels out the sound of a dentist's drill while allowing patients to listen to music on an MP3 player.

The tag covers this specific use case in a healthcare setting, focusing on noise cancellation for patient comfort.
