[Background of Release]
Our company has been facing the challenge of 'hearing difficulty' for over 10 years. Our 'MIRAI SPEAKER®' home series, equipped with the unique 'Curved Sound®' technology, has delivered 400,000 units cumulative, helping many families enjoy TV together. However, listening to customers revealed that hearing challenges exist far beyond the TV—in conversations with family, lunches with friends, and workplace meetings. Approximately 13 million people in Japan struggle with hearing. Many hesitate to use support tools due to 'three walls': the wall of comfort (pressure in the ear), design (age-related look), and price (expensive image). 'MIRAI SPEAKER Ear' was born as a 'new choice' to overcome these walls one by one.
Since surpassing the 100 million mark, resonance with features like the 'non-blocking fit,' 'personalized adjustment function,' and 'simple operation via charging case' has expanded. Demand for both self-use and gifts for family members remains high. We decided to extend the period because many voices said they needed more time to consult with family.

'The world has changed': After trying various hearing assistants without success, the personalization of the MIRAI SPEAKER Ear made it feel like a new world. I decided to apply immediately for use at neighborhood meetings and tennis.
'Easy operation for my mother': I was looking for a gift for my mother and mother-in-law. The comfortable fit and large buttons on the charging case made me feel they could use it easily at social gatherings.
