Скачать или смотреть Michael Leung from interflow Shares his ground-breaking low-cost hearing device

Michael Leung, founder of InnerFlow came on the podcast to talk about his low-cost bone conduction hearing devices.

We had a great conversation, but as a responsible entrepreneur I need to say that I am not endorsing or recommending them.

He shared about having a detached retina early in life and almost losing vision on one side. He talked about how his rehab exposed him to many older people which started him thinking about the challenges they live with. He recently found out that his vision has decreased and how working on this project is part of his long-term plan.

He mentioned how a business background and having family members in the manufacturing arena helped him get started once his brain storming resulted in his first product.

He discussed the benefits of his product which include low entry price, ease of use, lack of need for replacement batteries, and the fact that they are bone conduction.

This means they go outside the ear instead of inside. It also means people don’t have the same problems with hygiene or adjusting them to fit their individual ear structure.

We also talked about how the bone conduction design could help the visually impaired improve the auditory cues in their environment. Which could mae them safer when traveling.

I was happy to hear him say that these headphones are not going to help everyone. He shared that there are probably about 15 percent of people who try them who will not be helped by them.

He spent the rest of our time talking about the differences between the two models. And we finished by agreeing that his device is not a toy or a medical grade device. And it won’t help people who are deaf or have a true hearing disability.

If you or a family member is in need of help with hearing loss, then I advise you to do your research and make the best decision that fits your hearing condition.
