MEDITATION IS DIFFICULT

Hearing is a Brain Process
Hearing is a sense, however, understanding what we hear is a brain process. Your ears deliver sound to your brain where meaning is applied through use of cognitive functions like, listening, understanding and memory.
Like our vision, our hearing is constantly changing. However, unlike eye sight, hearing is an easy thing to take for granted and for many, the impact of hearing loss on the brain is often overlooked. If you have a hearing loss, access to your world of sound is compromised and there is less stimulation of the brain. Making sense of speech based communication is difficult and requires more mental effort or ‘brain power’ which often leads to withdrawal from social interaction and an increased risk of mental decline.

Experience Immersive Sound at Cubex with HyperSound® Clear by Turtle Beach
On 14, Mar 2016 | In Hearing Technology | By Rosie Williams
Cubex are really excited to be involved in a new and innovative direction of hearing care. HyperSound Clear is a one-of-a-kind personal direct audio solution that generates an ultrasound beam through the air providing a completely immersive, clear and crisp 3-D sound effect, similar to wearing headphones.
With one step a listener can enter or exit a zone of fully intelligible sound, experiencing a difference in aural perception as abrupt as if they’d flipped on a power switch. HyperSound® speakers project a sound beam to a precisely targeted location, creating a private listening zone in any room.
The audio technology, originally meant for enhancing the virtual reality experience for gamers has now developed into a technology that can benefit people with hearing loss too. We have tried this immersive experience for ourselves and would love to hear what you think of it after experiencing it in our offices. Find out more below.
