Sordin and Peltor electronic hearing pro already have this feature. It works really well, and you can control the "volume" level according to your needs/requirements.

My wish list:

1. Velcro fly for ACU pants. Messing with buttons, drawstring and belt buckle when I'm wearing an IBA and other gear is too slow. (Yeah, I know I'm leaving myself open on this one)

2. Quick adjustment strap system for MICH helmets. So that I can see what I'm doing when firing from the prone, then return to normal fit on the fly when I get back up.

Neither requires exoskeleton technology or reactive polymer laminates, though, so I'm probably SOL.
