You know those headphones that magically block out all the noise from around you, like you are in a little bubble?

A new product may be able to do the same for snorers.

A simple lightweight device called the Silent Partner creates a small noise-cancelling field around the offending noisy sleeper, stopping you from suffering sleepless nights as a result.

It’s not the most attractive looking device to put on your face – think the anti-snoring strips with a more tech-heavy element – but if it works, there will be a lot of thankful people out there.

It’s powered by hearing aid batteries, but there is an option to get a charger and stand.
