Mearsun is a first-of-its-kind DIY bone conduction hearing aid with a self-fitting device. Currently crowdfunding on Indiegogo, Mearsun was made for people who experience mild to moderate and severe hearing impairments.
Bone conduction technology transmits sound directly to the inner ear through vibrations of the bones in the skull, bypassing the eardrum and it leaves the ear canal open. With this DIY hearing aid, people can cut out the need for professional assistance when setting up their devices. According to Mearsun, with self-fitting, "hearing recognition rate can increase by more than 20%."
With the power of AI, Mearsun tailors the sound profile to a specific user so that they can support their hearing health and also reduce potential secondary hearing damage.
