Feel the sound: Korean startup Nuguna

Korean Startup Nuguna

People tend to communicate with the world by listening to it. Listening to various sounds makes us feel excited. It sometimes calms us down. Sounds of the world even give us signals about what is happening. When a car runs by you, you can avoid the car by the honking sound it makes. When there is an earthquake happening, you can hear the earth shaking and feel the danger. Therefore, sounds can really be an important signal for us. However, what if we are in a situation where we cannot hear a thing? What if the person has a hearing disability? Korean startup Nuguna is leading the way in the safety wireless device industry.

Korean startup Nuguna guarantees safety for those who can’t hear. It is meant to protect the wearer translating the sounds to vibrations. Even though you are unable to hear a thing, you can feel the vibration and that can alert you to do something to avoid dangers that surround you. The Safety Wireless Earphone and Neckband is created to give signals to people who listen to music or audios continuously.

There are two main products it provides; Safety Wireless Earphone and Safety Wireless Neckband. What is the difference? Let’s say you were walking down the street, listening to your favorite track. You were so into it that you did not notice the environmental changes around you. This could really lead you to eventually face danger. Safety Wireless Earphone is meant to save you in this situation. Nuguna earphones detect sounds and alert the person wearing it towards the direction of the sound using vibrations. Safety Wireless Neckband has a small difference. It is for those who have a hearing disability. Nuguna can be extra important for them as they can sense the danger and know their surroundings through vibrations.
