On Tuesday, Pasona announced that it will collaborate with Nara Medical University and CCH Sound to promote cartilage conduction technology for earphones and other devices. The Japanese staffing company aims to develop new products using this technology and incorporate it into staff headsets and audio guide earphones for their exhibition at the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka.
Cartilage conduction technology is a method of sound transmission that vibrates the cartilage near the ear, allowing for clear sound without blocking the ear canals and leaking less sound compared to bone conduction technology. This technology was discovered by Hiroshi Hosoi, President of Nara Medical University. Currently, these earphones are being used at various local governments and financial institutions for services, but they can also benefit individuals without hearing impairments as well.
Hosoi emphasized the importance of promoting cartilage conduction technology globally, especially to those who are unfamiliar with it. He expressed his desire for people to experience this innovative technology at the Expo in Osaka and hopes that it will become more widely adopted in the future.
In addition to promoting this new technology, Pasona aims to provide its staff with access to cutting-edge audio equipment during its exhibition at the event. By incorporating these new products into its offerings, Pasona hopes to showcase its commitment to innovation and excellence in staffing solutions.
Overall, this collaboration between Pasona, Nara Medical University, and CCH Sound represents a significant step forward in promoting cartilage conduction technology for hearing impairments. With increasing awareness of hearing loss worldwide, this innovative solution has the potential to improve communication and quality of life for millions of people around the world.
