Bone Conduction Headphones
Hey guys, today I have came with a very interesting topic which you might have never heard about it. This topic is so interesting that when I first heard about it, I don't believe it but when I read the concept behind this idea then I believe it. It's an beautiful innovation of 18th century.
Today topic is Bone Conduction Headphones. Yeah, it is a headphone which transmits sounds directly through bones not your ears.
Sound is the form of vibration which travels in air and when these waves collides with our eardrum, then we listen the sound. But think that if these vibration directly hits your bone and make you listen to your favourite musics. It send the vibration straight into the top of your jaw and from there to your inner ear and brain.
This idea of bone conduction first came in the mind of a 18th century composer who is completely deaf. His name is Ludwig van Beethoven. He found a way to hear the sound of piano through his jawbone by attaching a rod to his piano and clenching it in his teeth. He received perception of the sound when vibrations transfer from the piano to his jaw. This has proven that sound could reach our auditory system through another medium besides eardrums and the other medium is our bones.
Working of bone conduction-:
Bone Conduction bypasses the eardrums. In bone conduction listening, the bone conduction devices (such as headphones) perform the role of your eardrums. These devices decode sound waves and convert them into vibrations that can be received directly by the Cochlea so the eardrum is never involved. The “sound” reach the ears as vibrations through the bones (or skull) and skin.
It's an fruitful innovation for the people who is facing hearing loss problem or can't listen the sounds clearly. Most cases of hearing loss are due to damages to the eardrums. Since bone conduction does not use the eardrums, people with hearing difficulties would be able to hear clearly again with bone conduction, provided that their cochlea is in healthy and normal condition.
Generally, hearing loss could be described into three categories. That would be conductive hearing loss, perceptive hearing loss and mixed hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss is associated with faulty transmission of sound and is mostly due to damages to the eardrums. Bone conduction is able to aid a conduction hearing loss because a bone conduction device performs the role of the eardrums. Perceptive hearing loss is associated with difficulty in sensing the vibrations by the auditory nerves at the cochlea. Bone conduction is less effective for perceptive hearing loss.
