■Background of Release

Our company has been confronting the challenge of 'hearing difficulties' for over 10 years. Our home-use 'MIRAI SPEAKER®' series, equipped with our unique 'Curved Sound®' technology, has delivered a cumulative total of 400,000 units*2 as speakers that improve the audibility of TV dialogue, and we have received many voices from customers saying, 'We can now enjoy watching TV with our families.'

However, by listening to our customers' voices, it became clear that hearing challenges are not limited to just in front of the TV.

Approximately 13 million people in Japan*3 face hearing challenges. Situations where 'it's hard to hear' are everywhere in daily life, such as conversations with family, lunch with friends, and meetings or discussions at work.

• I couldn't hear, but I nodded vaguely.

• I felt bad asking again, so I just let the conversation go.

Many people gradually drift away from conversations in this way.

Behind leaving hearing difficulties unaddressed, it became apparent that many people feel resistance towards hearing support tools worn on the ear. There are 'three walls' to this.*4

[Wall of Wearing Comfort] In-ear styles feel constricting and make daily life difficult.

[Wall of Design] The appearance makes one feel old, and it's not something one wants to wear daily.

[Wall of Price] They have an expensive image, making them difficult to access casually.

'MIRAI SPEAKER Ear' is a 'new option' born to overcome each of these walls.

By overcoming these 'three walls,' both the need for individuals to enjoy daily conversations more for personal use and the need to give it as a gift to family members*5 have expanded, which we believe is one of the major backgrounds that propelled this 100 million yen breakthrough.
