Disturbing noise and lack of acoustic privacy are typical concerns of traditional hospital environments. Noises from medical equipment and conversations can disturb a patient’s ability to rest. Additionally, overheard conversations can cause patients to become uncomfortable discussing sensitive issues with their doctors and family members. The mission of many modern hospitals has expanded to not only include rehabilitation of a patient’s body, but also to rejuvenate their mind and spirit. As patient satisfaction and quality of care becomes a greater focus, hospitals are seeking ways to increase acoustic comfort and privacy.
