Best Conduction Headphones for Poor Hearing
"Bone conduction devices don’t use air to conduct sound—they use bone. Bone conduction headphones send sound through the skull to reach the inner ear, which is why they can be particularly useful for people with outer or middle ear issues.
In the 17th century, educators began using bone conduction technology to help people with damaged hearing hear better. Today, bone conduction is used in headphones, personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) and hearing aids."
