HEALTH , SAFETY, LISTENING COMFORT AND CONVIVIALITY !

Health - Certain earphones available on the market must be inserted in the ear, very close to the ear drum, risking permanent damage to the internal ear because of the diffusion of sounds of too high intensity.

According to a study of 14 March 2006 carried out by ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association), over half of polled university students reported having at least one symptom linked to loss of hearing. The study, which examined the use of such equipment as MP3 players, evaluated the sensitivity of the public to the hearing problems caused by noise. Experts declared that the users of these players listened to them for too long at volumes that are too high. Nearly 10 million Americans are suffering from hearing problems resulting from exposure to noise and between now and 2009, 945 million units of audio equipment of this type are expected to be distributed around the world.

Compared to traditional earphones, TOPlay, through its OGS (Open Guided Sound) system, reduces by more than 30 times the audio pressure on the ear drum, while preserving an excellent sound quality.  

Safety -TOPlay, also thanks to its OGS system, allows the listener to remain attentive to his environment. Whether walking or skating, cycling or driving, the user is able not only to listen to his favourite music but also to remain aware of any potential dangers around him.

It is interesting to note that most people who normally cannot bear the traditional earpieces are pleasantly surprised and adopt the TOPlay earphone after the first trial.
