Hong Kong invention that can stop earphone users going deaf
Aumeo adjusts sound for earphone users' left and right ears by filling in missing frequencies, 'like glasses for your ears'. It means you hear clearly at a lower volume
If you head to your local electronics store and take a peek around the audio section, you're bound to find a wide range of headphones and earphones. It's easy to find a pair that matches your style, but it's more difficult to find a pair that sounds just right because everyone hears sounds differently.
Aumeo is like glasses for your ears. We allow you to hear all the music as it should be heard
Not only are the shapes of our ear canals and our eardrums different on a physiological level, but the listening ability can vary between our left and right ear. Hong Kong-based start-up Aumeo wants to bring real customisation to the way we hear music - while still allowing us to wear the headphones of our choice. Its plug-and-play solution not only makes music sound better, but it could also save your hearing.
"Ears, like any part of our body, differ from person to person," says Aumeo co-founder and CEO Paul Lee. "We just don't notice the uniqueness of our hearing sensitivity as it can be hard to quantify."
