Our philosophy is to specialize in one-of-a-kind products that helps to improve the quality of life. We are currently helping those who have become hearing impaired to be able to hear sound again through the development of our “Mirai Speaker.” It is common belief that once one loses the full functionality of hearing that it will never return but with use of our patented speaker technology, hearing sound is once again resurrected. We want to advance this technology so that is becomes useful and helps everyone.
After creating our prototype speaker we tested about 140 individuals who have lost hearing due to age, accidents, illness and medicinal side effects. Our results showed that over 80% of individuals commented that their hearing functionality had returned. Additionally, testing through Tsukuba University Technology Dept. showed some effect on individuals that are born with deafness. They said they could hear a little more through our speakers than traditional speakers.
In other third-party experiments results were very alike. We lent our “Mirai Speaker” to a nursing facility which showed similar results. When connecting our “Mirai Speaker” to TVs, 80% of listeners said they could hear better. The staff at the facility explained that communication was much easier because patients could often hear PA announcements without their hearing aids.
Another aspect of our company is providing “Comfort Audio.” In recent years with new technological innovation, electronics such as TVs have evolved greatly in quality. On the other hand, innovation in audio has seen few changes and has been left behind.
Soundfun is eager to revive and emphasize sound quality. We would like to offer High-Resolution audio such as vacuum tube amplifiers and speakers that incorporate simple and fundamental sound at an affordable price. Hearing impaired or not, we want all people to experience the joy of great sound.
We are aiming towards a made in Japan production in the northeast with plans of providing employment to people with disabilities. Our future goal is for our earnings to be partially donated towards those who have hearing impairedness.
Soundfun will continue to research, develop, and advance products that will improve the quality of life and bring more smiles to people’ s faces. We thank you and hope for your support.
Sincerely,
Soundfun Corporation Representative, CEO, Sato, Kazunori
