Do we really need more gadgets to carry around? Particularly ones which will only be needed in a somewhat narrow set of circumstances and must be purchased/subsidized by/for those on invalidity levels of income.

The advantage of ordinary hearing is that you can immediately identify the direction of the sound source. Some sort of personal-quiet-car-detector would have to communicate direction in a NON-visual way. Tricky = expensive.
