How do Bone Conduction Headphones work? Are they dangerous?
In: Technology
No they aren’t dangerous.
They use vibrations in the bone or skull to generate sound. This means you could listen to music while not having buds in and thus hear all ambient sounds aswell. Very convenient on a bike for instance.
Some hearing aids will have a screw in your skull and attach the device to it. The vibrations will travel to your inner ear and make you able to hear better (as I recall, correct me if I’m wrong)
