Medical Listening Plug Price for sale after mid -September 2021 Sharp https: // JP.SHARP/MLP/
Sharp enters the hearing aid market.People who have become difficult to hear at work, such as re -asking at the web meeting, "Can you ask me again?", We have developed a hearing aid that can be used easily like glasses.
Sharp's "Medical Listening Plug" announced on August 31 is for mild and moderate hearing loss.Hearing aids are still aware of the difficulty of hearing, even if they think they are still early.
The feature is "fitting" through smartphones.
For general hearing aids, before starting use, it is necessary for users to go to the store and adjust the staff while checking their hearing.The number of adjustments to satisfy is about 3 to 10 times.It is troublesome for Corona's evil because of the anxiety of face -to -face services.
Sharp has been connected online to a dedicated staff (fitter) with qualifications such as certified hearing aid or speech therapist through the official app "COCORO LISTENING", so that the parameters you hear even at home can be finely adjusted.。
If you press the assistant button on the app home screen, you can consult about hearing by chatting.
Remote fit service through smartphones is free for 60 days after purchase, and then paid options (11,000 yen in 60 days).An option is also provided as an option (33,000 yen) as an optional set of 5 years of extension warranty, theft / loss guarantee, and a one -year remote fit service.
In addition, there are 10 types of usage scenes in advance according to the usage environment such as online conferences, noises, buses and trains.You can register up to four scenes in the main unit and set them from the app.
It can be used not only as a hearing aid but also as a normal wireless earphone.Uses a balanced armature driver made by Knowles Electronics and is designed to be strong in the middle and high range.Hands -free calls are also possible with built -in microphone.However, when using it as an earphone, the setting as a hearing aid will be disabled.
A charging case is included like a general full wireless earphone, and the maximum driving time is 55 hours when using a charging case.For charging, in addition to the USB Type-C cable, it can be charged directly from the PC using a built-in USB Type-A connector.It is designed that supports the waterproof of IPX4 and the dust of the IP6X, and has the invasion of water and dust.
From the exterior, it is a design that can only be seen as an ordinary full wireless earphone, and when using it at work, it seems that a word "this is a hearing aid" is likely, but the hurdle to be installed seems to be low.
Sharp is now focusing on the health, medical and nursing care field as a management strategy, and this hearing aid is the first in the medical field.In collaboration with medical device venture neurosuticals, we will develop products using Sharp's technology.
Sharp's competitiveness, which is the first entry of the hearing aid market, is the price.
By online and optional, the services of the window, including the fitting, have reduced the price significantly compared to general hearing aids.It explains that general hearing aid costs about 300,000 yen, including the service fee of the service, but Sharp has been lowered to about 100,000 yen, about one -third.
According to Sharp, the percentage of those who are mild and moderate with hearing aids is 12 %.The number of non -holders is about 11.34 million.The concept is interesting, but it is unknown how many active generations find the value of investing 100,000 yen.
However, recently, "I'm sorry, again" has increased, so it may be better to try it once.
