The Bone Conduction Speaker is a small speaker that plays using bone conduction technology. Bone conduction speakers work by converting sound into mechanical vibrations of different frequencies, and transmitting sound waves through the human skull, bone labyrinth, inner ear lymphatic transmission, spiral apparatus, auditory nerve, and auditory centre.
The main components of a bone conduction loudspeaker include a vibrator, bone conduction material, and an enclosure. The vibrator is a small vibrator that converts audio signals into vibration signals. Bone conduction material is a special material that converts vibration signals into acoustic signals and transmits them to the eardrum through the bones of the human body. The housing is a protective shell which prevents damage to the vibrator and the bone conduction material.
When an audio signal is converted into a vibration signal through the vibrator, the vibration signal is converted into an acoustic signal through the bone conduction material and transmitted to the eardrum through the bones of the body. The eardrum converts the acoustic signals into electrical signals which are transmitted to the hearing centre via the auditory nerve. The auditory centre converts the electrical signals into sound signals that are transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve.
The advantage of a bone conduction speaker is that it can play sound without disturbing the surroundings as it does not need to transmit sound through the air. It can be used to play music or talk in noisy environments, such as during outdoor sports, travelling or on public transport. It can also be used to play sound in the case of hearing impairment as it does not require sound to be transmitted through the ear canal.
However, the disadvantage of a bone conduction speaker is that its sound quality is not as good as that of a conventional speaker as it requires sound to be transmitted through the bones of the body, which do not travel as well as air. It also takes some time to get used to because it transmits sound differently than conventional speakers.
In conclusion, the Bone Conduction Speaker is a small speaker that uses bone conduction technology to play sound without affecting its surroundings, but its sound quality is not as good as traditional speakers. It can be used to play music or calls in noisy environments or to play sound in the case of hearing impairment.
