About Lyra Miwani ya Kusaidia Kusikia

Lyra ni miwani ya kusaidia kusikia inayounganisha msaada wa kusikia na miwani ya kila siku. Mkusanyiko wa maikrofoni sita hunasa sauti kutoka upande uliochaguliwa na kupunguza kelele za mazingira. Spika inayoweza kuzungushwa hukaa karibu na mfereji wa sikio na hutoa nyongeza ya sauti hadi desibeli 40 kwa usemi ulio wazi zaidi. Upunguzaji wa kelele unaojirekebisha na udhibiti wa mrejesho husaidia katika mazingira yenye sauti changamano. Lenzi zinaweza kutengenezwa kwa ajili ya kurekebisha uoni wa karibu, uoni wa mbali unaotokana na umri au marekebisho ya hatua kwa hatua. Lengo ni kuipa huduma ya msaada wa kusikia mwonekano usio wa kitiba unaofaa kwa matumizi ya kila siku.

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.
