Discover the key stages that marked the evolution of bone conduction, from its discovery to its modern applications.
Discovery of bone conduction by Girolamo Cardano
Italian physician and mathematician Girolamo Cardano discovered that sound could be transmitted through the bones of the skull . He described in his work De Subtilitate how a rod placed between the teeth allowed sounds to be heard without passing through the outer ear.
In-depth studies by Jean-Marie Gaspard Itard
French physician Jean-Marie Gaspard Itard , a hearing specialist, explores bone conduction and its potential application for the hearing impaired. His work marks a step forward in the scientific understanding of this phenomenon.
First bone conduction hearing aid
The invention of the first hearing aid using bone conduction was made in the early 20th century. These devices are designed to help people with hearing loss by bypassing the outer and middle ear.
Development of the first military applications
The military is beginning to explore bone conduction for discreet communication systems . The technology allows soldiers to receive instructions without blocking their natural hearing.
First commercial bone conduction headset launched
The first company to commercialize bone conduction headphones is launching a model that allows you to listen to music while remaining aware of surrounding sounds. The launch marks the beginning of a new era for the technology.
Since then, bone conduction has established itself as an innovative solution , widely adopted in the fields of sport, communication and hearing aids.
Appearance of the first bone conduction sports headphones
The first models specifically designed for athletes are born. Thanks to their open design , these headphones allow runners and cyclists to listen to music while remaining attentive to their surroundings, thus improving safety and comfort of use.
Growing adoption and democratization of bone conduction
From 2016 onwards, bone conduction technology began to gain popularity among the general public . Advances in component miniaturization and improved sound quality allowed bone conduction headphones to position themselves as a credible alternative to traditional earphones. This period also marked a diversification of uses, with increasing adoption in the fields of sports, security and professional communications.
