The Nuraphone seeks to level the playing field by calibrating itself to each individual customer’s ears and then providing them with the most optimised hearing experience. Nuraphone learns about your hearing in under a minute by playing a range of tones into your ears and measures the faint sound the ear generates called the Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) that’s 10,000 times faint than the sound that went in to calibrate and is the same underlying technology that’s used for newborns to examine hearing in babies. Based on the feedback generated from Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) the nuraphone generates a unique hearing profile based on your sensitivity to high and low frequency in a colourful spectrum that is unique to you. To ensure that this is not a gimmicky feature we tried creating
On the design front, the Nuraphone is a sleek yet oddly strange pair of over the ear headphones with built-in earbuds, which may sound odd at first, but once you see their application, everything will make sense.
Once you get the Nuraphones, the first thing you are going to do is calibrate it to your ears and that’s where the in built ear buds come into play. The process requires us to squeeze the earbuds deep into the ear canal and we are then exposed to sounds ranging across the audio frequency spectrum. The faint echoes of these vibrations are picked up by the Nuraphone thanks to a supersensitive microphone built into it. This is the same microphone that NASA is allegedly using for their 2020 Mars Mission, so simply put, they really are super super sensitive.
