We "use ears for listening" when talking to someone or listening to music. However, this seemingly natural perception is not accurate. Whales living in the ocean have ears inside their bodies where seawater and hydraulic pressures have no effect. Their ears are structured so as to block direct external sounds. In spite of that, whales hear sounds just like other animals. Ludwig van Beethoven became hard of hearing late in life, but the great composer listened to the piano in a way that allowed him to continue writing music.How do whales catch sounds? How did Beethoven listen to music? Whales use the lower jawbone to catch vibrations that travel through water and transmit them to their ears. Beethoven held a baton between his teeth and pressed it tightly against his piano. He listened by transmitting the piano sound vibrations from his teeth to his hearing organs by way of his skull.As these examples show, there are two transmission routes for sounds and voices: the air and bones. V ibrations that reach our ears through the air are known as air-transmitted sound. People normally refer to these vibrations when discussing hearing. V ibrations that reach our ears through bones are called bone-transmitted sound. Thus, sounds and voices reach our ears as vibrations through the air or through our bones and skin.As explained above, vibrations or what we conceive as sounds reach our ears (1) through the air or (2) through our bones and skin. The auditory nerve in our inner ear detects both types of vibratory motion as sound immediately upon arrival. We would like to explain how these vibrations or sounds travel to the auditory nerve as follows:Let us begin our explanation with air-transmitted sound. We normally "hear sounds with our own ears" when detecting vibrations in the air. Human speech, radio, and television sounds vibrate the surrounding air. The outer ear collects and guides these vibrations into our external auditory canal. V ibrations reach and shake the eardrum through the external auditory canal. Our middle ear amplifies this vibratory motion, which we perceive as sounds the moment it swings the tip of our auditory nerve floating in lymph that fills the cochlear canal in the inner ear.Bone-transmitted sound refers to "directly transmitted vibrations." These vibrations do not bypass either the outer ear or middle ear, and travel straight to the cochlear canal in the inner ear. Upon arriving in the cochlear canal, this vibratory motion shakes the auditory nerve floating in lymph. We can still hear our own voice when speaking with our ears covered. We can do this because our bones and skin transmit the vibrations of our speech. Our own voice sounds like someone else's when we utter words with ears covered. We sense this impression because closed ears shut out air-transmitted sound. We receive most vibrations from our bones and skin when covering our ears. Our own voice sounds strange when speaking with our ears covered because the voice we always hear and recognize as our own is a mixture of air-transmitted and bone-transmitted sound.Hearing through the bones and skin offers many advantages because it does not require you to lend your ear to air-transmitted sound. The greatest advantage is complete freedom in both ears. Y ou can catch sounds in your surroundings and have natural conversations without disconnecting your bone conduction speakers. Y ou can useearplugs in combination to protect your hearing against loud noise. Bone conduction speakers serve various occasions and demands. Y ou can use them in water and other special environments.Though we produce our voice by vibrating the vocal cords, other people catch our vibrations released in t he air with their ears. That's how others perceive our voice. The vibratory motion of the vocal cords travels to our own hearing organs through two transmission routes: the air and our skull.We can hear our own voice when covering our mouth or ears with our hands, then saying something. We can catch our voice in such experiments thanks to bone conduction. However, our own voice sounds different from our normal one when speaking with covered mouth or ears. We experience this change because we only catch bone-transmitted sound under such circumstances. The opposite also holds true. Our own voice sounds strange when taping it and playing it back because a tape recorder only catches air-transmitted sound.Our bones transmit voices. We can hear through our bones by using a highly sensitive vibration sensor to collect the vibrations of the vocal cords (that vibrate the bones) and converting these vibrations into electric audio signals.V oice transmitted through the bones is the same as converting vocal cord vibrations into audio signals upon reception by the skull. Y ou can catch cranial vibrations or voices in airless environments. Hearing aids incorporating the bone conduction mechanism offer users many advantages. These devices are easy to waterproof (for outdoor and underwater use), offer excellent tolerance to noise (thus less susceptible to external noise) and flexible to wear (by allowing you to position the microphone away from your mouth). Y ou can use hearing aids in many places and on many occasions.Bone conduction speakers offer a technical base for hearing voices and sounds through bones. These devices enable hearing-impaired people to catch sounds when there is no vibration in the air, and operate on the principle that we perceive sounds when vibrations reach our hearing organs directly. Based on this principle, we developed and patented a small, high-output bone conduction speaker that converts audio signals into vibrations. We realized unprecedented user convenience by integrating this speaker in a headset.Bone conduction microphones form another technical basis. The microphone cords use a highly sensitive vibration sensor to collect vibrations that reach the skull from the vocal cords and convert this vibratory motion into audio signals. Y ou can wear these devices all over your head to pick up vibrations, provided they are mounted on a relatively solid section of your head. We offer two types of bone conduction microphones: an "ear microphone" that picks up vibrations in the auditory canal, and a headset that captures vibrations on the head. We equipped both products with corrective circuits optimized for converting bon e-transmitted sound into clear voices. These products are compatible with various types of telecommunications equipment.We have developed communications tools that provide high added values in various fields by applying the bone conduction mechanism to a broad range of cutting-edge telecommunications technology. Our achievements include hands-free communications systems for various uses (listening-only and two-way models), a bone conduction hearing aid incorporating a bone conduction speaker (Kikuchan), and a helmet-type communications system (Shellshocker).

Radio communication is heard through bone conduction speaker placed near the temple. Thus crystal clear communication is achieved with both ears and front of the face free of any apparatus. 2) S ingle headset accommodates highly noisy to very peaceful environment.Bone conduction microphone hardly picks up ambient noises, and its combined use with ear plugs to protect hearing improves the clarity of the sound received via bone conduction speaker to a great extent. In the environment with no need for ear plugs, however, safety factor in work situation is increased by being able to listen to the surrounding sounds and communicate at the same time. 3) C an be used in combination with various types of face guard or mask.Since there is no microphone near the mouth, communications is made possible with various types of face guard and mask (anti dust, anti toxic, etc.,) over the face.。
