About Lyra Amadarubindi Afasha Kumva

Lyra ni amadarubindi afasha kumva ahuza ubufasha bwo kumva n'amadarubindi ya buri munsi. Uruhererekane rwa mikorofoni esheshatu rufata amajwi mu cyerekezo cyatoranyijwe kandi rukagabanya urusaku rw'inyuma. Agasakuza gashobora kuzengurutswa kegereye umuyoboro w'ugutwi kandi gatanga ubukana bugera kuri desibeli 40 kugira ngo imvugo yumvikane neza. Ikoranabuhanga ryihariye ryo kugabanya urusaku no kugenzura amajwi asubira inyuma bifasha mu bidukikije birimo amajwi menshi. Ibirahuri bishobora gukorerwa abafite ubumuga bwo kutabona kure, kutabona hafi cyangwa gukosora byombi icyarimwe. Intego ni ugutanga ubufasha bwo kumva mu isura itagaragara nk'iy'ubuvuzi ikwiranye no gukoreshwa buri munsi.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Lyra integrates professional hearing-aid tech with consumer smart glasses, breaking traditional hearing aids' 'medical device' limitation. Core configs: 6-array directional mic (accurate pickup and noise reduction), rotatable ear canal-proximal speaker (40dB max gain for clarity), with adaptive noise reduction and acoustic feedback algorithms for complex sound fields. Supports myopia/presbyopia/progressive lens customization, delivering 'hearing and vision and daily wear' all-in-one experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: 155 x 168 x 35 mm
Tags: Smart glasses, Hearing aid function, Wireless charging, Acoustic tuning, Rotating speaker.
Production Technology: Temples: 0.8mm TR90 injection molding. Electronics: multilayer FPC, SiP with Bluetooth SoC & PMIC, LDS antenna, custom-shaped micro battery. Assembly: active alignment for optical engine & waveguide, adhesive sealing (IP56), fixture press-fitting.
Design Challenge: Wireless charging alignment: custom coil misalignment reduces efficiency; magnetic positioning + multi-coil array + Q-value detection for adaptive matching. Acoustic tuning: open-ear speaker has sound leakage & weak bass; dual-diaphragm inverted cavity + psychoacoustic EQ + bone conduction assist, anechoic chamber optimization.
Inspiration: The design inspiration comes from hearing-impaired users' pain points: existing hearing aids have single functions (no multimedia connection) and medical-like looks, making users reluctant to wear them daily. Thus, we focus on 'non-medical and multi-functional', using a rotatable speaker (better clarity), 4 scenes and 4 hearing presets, and a stylish glasses design to make the device effective and integrated into daily life.
Project Duration: Launched in Shenzhen, June 2025; now in prototype testing.
