In bone conduction, sound is not sent directly to your eardrum, but the vibrations of the sound pass through your bones to the inner ear. These vibrations are then sent on to the auditory nerves and arrive in the brain via this route. Bone conduction therefore causes the eardrums to be bypassed completely. This creates a deeper and fuller sound. Curious about the other benefits? Find it out in this blog.
The benefits of bone conduction headphones
Bone conduction is a natural process that has several benefits. Bone conduction headphones are safe and comfortable. In addition, it is also suitable for the hearing impaired.
Safe in traffic
The bone conduction technology ensures that the ears are kept free. Bone conduction headphones let the user stay in contact with the environment. This is ideal during a ride on a bicycle. A cyclist can easily listen to music while keeping their focus on the road. In addition, it also offers more safety during, for example, (hard) running. Bone conduction headphones are a good combination of safe participation in traffic and sound. Ideal for athletes!
Suitable for the hearing impaired
Bone conduction is also suitable for people with hearing problems. This is because the bone conduction headphones do not go directly into the ear canal. Unlike normal headphones, bone conduction headphones will not interfere with hearing aids.
Even people who are deaf in one ear can enjoy stereo sound. The bone conduction headphones give the hearing impaired users a feeling that is not available to them otherwise.
Comfortable
How annoying it is to put in earplugs that keep falling out of your ear or don't fit in properly. A bone conduction headphone rests on your ear so will not irritate the inside in any way.
