‘First-Ever’ DIY Bone Conduction Hearing Aids Self-Fit To Your Ears
By Nicole Rodrigues, 27 Oct 2023
A newcomer in the realm of hearing aid technology, Mearsun, has unveiled its inaugural product, the Mearsun Hearing Aid. This device claims to be the first bone-conduction hearing aid with self-fitting capabilities and integrated artificial intelligence.
Bone conduction aids operate by transmitting sound vibrations through the bones of the skull, rendering them suitable for individuals with conductive hearing loss. What distinguishes the Mearsun Hearing Aid is its self-fitting feature, eliminating the need for professional assistance during the setup process.
Mearsun’s version leverages AI to tailor its sound profile to the specific requirements of each user. This adaptability not only enhances auditory clarity but also serves as a preventive measure against potential secondary hearing damage.
One notable advantage of bone conduction hearing aids, such as the Mearsun Hearing Aid, is their ability to mitigate damage caused by loud noises. Unlike traditional ones, which bypass the outer and middle ear, bone conduction aids operate differently, offering a potential advantage in terms of hearing health.
