Healing Sound Co., Ltd. (CEO Jun-gu Kang) announced that it will participate in the 39th International Medical Equipment and Hospital Equipment Exhibition ‘KIMES 2024’, which will be held at COEX, Seoul from Thursday, March 14th to Sunday, March 17th.
Healing Sound is a medical device company established in 2017. While developing a variety of products and content, starting with the medical hearing protection device ‘Healing Stone’, the company aims to provide a higher medical experience by strategically combining capabilities and technologies such as AI, ICT, medical content, and service design. Here’s the explanation.
Healing Sound will also exhibit its representative product, Healing Stone, at this exhibition. As a ‘smart ear plug’ developed for medical use, Healing Stone applies the company’s self-developed noise frequency algorithm and voice control technology to offset unpleasant noises while allowing other people’s voices to be heard clearly.
This is especially effective in reducing fear and concerns about dental treatment as it is specialized in controlling sharp sounds and high-frequency sounds experienced by the human body. While commercialized ANC (Active Noise Canceling) technology focuses on canceling out external noise altogether, Healing Stone achieved cancellation targeting only specific noise with an AI sound mapping algorithm that learned 100,000 pieces of noise data.
In addition, Healing Sound emphasized that the battery efficiency is higher than other ANC earphones, so it can be used without interruption on a single full charge even in a medical environment for up to 8 hours.
A company official said, “It is known that dental workers are 1.5 times more likely to experience hearing loss and tinnitus than the general public as they are constantly exposed to noise that damages hearing.” At the same time, as a result of strengthening our research and development capabilities to create a product that enables clear communication, a product called Healing Stone was born,” he explained.
“In the future, we want to develop a product called ‘EARNAP’ that suppresses inflammation in the ear and evaporates moisture with a dual IR LED module,” he said. “We manage noise-induced hearing loss with relaxation therapy through heat treatment, and ·It is a device that directly prevents and manages external inflammation, and we plan to expand our export channels after its domestic launch in the first half of this year.”
Meanwhile, KIMES is an exhibition specializing in medical devices and hospital equipment that has grown steadily along with the development of the Korean medical industry since its first meeting in 1980. Meanwhile, the domestic medical industry has been engaged in medical information systems, ultrasound scanners, medical imaging equipment, robotic medicine, AI, It has transformed into a technology-intensive high-tech industry such as rehabilitation medicine.
