Huria’s Bluetooth compatible bone
conduction headset will be a good news for those who
suffer from noise induced hearing loss and damaged
eardrums, as well as those who receive a number of mobile
phone calls while using headsets.
Bone conduction has the mechanism to transmit the
vibration of the bone to auditory cochlea as a sound bypassing
the eardrum, thus headset employing bone
conduction technology drastically reduces the stress of the
ear and prevents damage to the eardrum. About 10% of
younger people who are suffered from noise induced
hearing loss and have damaged eardrums can also hear the
sound clearly with a bone conduction headset.
As the ear is not blocked, the user of the headset can
hear surrounding noises, and avoid possible risk during
the outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, skiing
and jogging. It also does not cause fatigue and reduction of
hearing ability even with long-term usage as the sound is
directly transmitted to the auditory organ by-passing the
eardrum.
Earbone (model name: HUB-401) of the Huria is
upgraded version of the company’s existing bone
conduction headsets with Bluetooth feature, an
industrial specification for wireless personal area
networks (PANs).
In addition to enjoying many benefits of conventional
bone conduction headphones, Earbone allows users to
receive cell phone calls and listen to music from the phone,
helping them more conveniently in this era of the
smartphone.
Ergonomics design employing eight joints to meet the
various shapes of the human heads and semipermanent
Lithium battery are some of the other benefits of the
products. A removable microphone is also available for the
convenience of call center telemarketers.
