The patented bone conduction technology is based on an innovative principle that revolutionizes the way we perceive sound. Unlike traditional headphones that transmit sound waves through the air, passing through the ear canal and the eardrum, this technology uses a transmission mode by vibrations directly routed to the inner ear.
Let's illustrate the phenomenon of bone conduction with a simple example. Imagine a man with a beard:
When he scratches his cheek , he hears a slight "scratch scratch" sound. Now, if he puts on noise-canceling headphones , most external sounds are attenuated or even blocked out completely . However, if he starts scratching his beard again, he can still hear this sound clearly . Why? Because the vibration is transmitted via the skull bone, directly to the inner ear without going through the eardrum . This is precisely the principle used in bone conduction technology.
The operation is based on the zygomatic arch of the temporal bone , a bony structure located on the side of the skull, near the ears. When the device's transducer vibrates, these micro-vibrations are transmitted to the bone, which then relays them to the cochlea , the sensory organ of hearing. This bone transmission makes it possible to completely bypass the eardrum, which has several major advantages:
✅ Hearing preservation : By avoiding the eardrum, bone conduction reduces the risk of hearing damage linked to excessive sound volume or prolonged exposure to loud noises.
✅ Safe listening : With the ear remaining free, the user can continue to perceive surrounding sounds, an essential asset for athletes, outdoor workers, office workers or anyone working in an urban environment.
✅ Accessibility for people with hearing loss : This technology is particularly beneficial for individuals with hearing loss related to the eardrum or middle ear, allowing them to hear clearly thanks to the direct transmission of sound to the inner ear.
✅ Comfort and hygiene : The absence of in-ear headphones eliminates the discomfort, pressure and irritation that can be caused by conventional devices, while ensuring better hygiene on a daily basis.
