Re: More information

Jim!

Thanks for the feedback. You know a heck of a lot more about this than I do. I understand and share your skepticism. 

I am on the Board of Speech to Text Captioning and shared this with them. Here is one response I received.

Hey Ron, 

These bone conduction headphones are pretty cool!  Sound can be transmitted a variety of ways, e.g. sonar, bone conduction, acoustically, etc.  With these, sound is transmitted conductively through bone (skull).  I have participated in some research at ASU about music and haptics, 'feeling the sound', which is another way to perceive sound.  

Their price point ($450) is steep, but it's a new product and we will see if it is successful.  Thanks for sharing!

Jim!

Would you be willing to have him do a presentation at an upcoming meeting?

Thanks again



 

 

We're underway with our campaign, "OneSound", specifically impacting the deaf and hard of hearing space. We have an exclusive event planned for Saturday, February 26th. The location is being solidified but it will be between Mozzeria or Kitchen Cray in D.C.. Then weeks later we'll follow up with a preorder campaign for all the folks in the community who would like to be the first to own a pair of Dome Headphones.

 

Here are all the video assets for the OneSound campaign that starts to tell the story. If you want to share, feel free.

NATIONAL BLACK DEAF ADVOCATES - This organization came to my attention yesterday and I know nothing about them. Does anyone know them? We should reach out to them and share information and offer membership.

 

DEAF ENTEPENEURSHIP NETWORK - As above never heard of them. I have a contact who will do an introduction for me.

 

I serve on the Advisory Council of Disability:IN DC Metro and they have a monthly newsletter. I can have an article about GA inserted in an upcoming issue. The article can be as long as we want and have hyperlinks to membership and sponsorship. It goes to about 800 people representing numerous large and small employers and some non profits.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions, thoughts, or comments.

The information they provide is conspicuously devoid or any technical description. It still looks to me like it is a bone conduction system which is not at all new. We all receive a bone conduction a test at our visits to our audiologists, so we've all experienced it. 

Bone conduction is an effective system but ambient environmental noise will interfere with the audibility of the system. Therefore it will not help us to hear in a noisy place. And for most of us noisy environments are our most challenging places for hearing/understanding. If it is transmitted by bluetooth most of our hearing aide will connect to that already. If your hearing aids do not connect to bluetooth tell the VA that you want new hearing aids. Sorry for my skepticism but I simply need more information before I can become interested in the products shown on the videos. 

If this is a bone conduction via bluetooth system I'm not very interested. If it is something else - maybe. I really would like more information.
