Microphone blocker

A microphone blocker is a device that helps protect your privacy. When you're talking with someone on the phone or on a video chat, a microphone blocker prevents anyone else from hearing what you're saying. It works by creating a shield around your microphone, blocking any sound waves coming out of it. That way, no one can listen in on your conversations, even if they are in the same room.
