Let's face it. We will never stop using earphones or headphones, because it actually helps us to create our own personal sphere. That said, I am up for alternatives that are less harmful to our bodies and still maintain the same functions. Such as the Open Ear Sport Headphones. The name might lead you to think that this is definitely not one to block out any unwanted noise, and you are right.
What makes this rather unique than the rest, is the technology behind it. No more stuffing regular sized earbuds into your irregular sized ears, and praying they won't fall out as you go for a run or jog. Most of what we hear are sound waves travelling through the air to the eardrum, which then converts the sound waves to vibrations and sends them to the inner ears, commonly known as bone conduction. What if we can bypass the air travel and deliver sound straight to the bones?
In comes the AfterShokz Headphones. Originally developed for use by military special ops and SWAT teams, the headphones sit in front of the ear and delivers sound through the cheekbones to the inner ears. This allows users to still be receptive to ambient noise.
That said, I am curious on the potential of this, such as soothing music through the cheekbones when one is having a toothache, or headache. Also, I know music can stimulate plant growth. What about dental growth?
