Downtime went to see the Iron Man film last week and was suitably impressed at the gadgets employed by the tech hero. Repulsor rays that blasted villains and USB memory sticks that emitted a ear shattering sonic blast made the film fun. However, Downtime found the rustling of the tesco bag of sweets from the person sitting behind even more painful. Is there some piece of tech kit out there that can stop these noise polluters?

Yes there is technology for stopping noise pollution in the cinema. They are called wireless headphones--just need the cinema to support them and rent them out.
Alternatively, many cinemas & theatres are already wired with hearing aid inductive loops--just need a over-the-ear variant?
