Another Kickstarter project that caught my eye is Hush. This is an in-ear device that combines sound-eliminating foam with noise masking so you can completely isolate yourself from all the noise around you.

Hush connects wirelessly with your smartphone, so you still can let the important things in. Now you can forget about the world around you while keeping your peace of mind, knowing that you will be brought right back when the world needs you most.

Key features include:

• Hush keeps the notifications private, meaning you will be the only person to hear when your alarm goes off — you don’t wake up anyone else.
• Hush gives people the ability to sleep in peace, whatever the context of the world around them.
• Hush App offers several noise-masking sounds so you can choose your  favorite one. For people having a hard time falling asleep, the team has included the neural beats that will help you relax.
• Charge on the go: The Hush Case is small and light so you can recharge Hush wherever you go.
• Battery Pack: The Hush Case has its own rechargeable batteries that can recharge Hush up to 10 times without plugging in.
• Phone Charger: We put an extra USB port on the case so that you can charge Hush and your phone at the same time. No fighting over outlets.

Early adopters can claim some of the first pairs for $99 on Kickstarter; the first batch is scheduled to ship May 2015.
