The speakers address the needs of individuals. The company receives many inquiries, especially from people living with their elderly parents. Kumagai says that “when you are unable to hear, you feel down. You give up and lose the will to proactively take on challenges.” The Mirai Speaker has gotten rave reviews from those who have purchased it, such as one person who said “my parents have suddenly become livelier.”In the words of SoundFun President Hiroshi Yamaji, “It is encouraging to hear that just by being able to hear better, people become more interested in life, and even their facial expressions change, and they become more active.” The average age of employees at SoundFun is 55, and highly experienced engineers who have reached retirement age elsewhere are energetically working here. They are driven by the desire to help people in need, and every day they enjoy developing things with a sense of purpose. The corporate philosophy of SoundFun is “making the world happier through sound.” Initially, Mirai Speakers were developed for people with hearing impairments, but as a sound barrier-free speaker, Mirai Speakers can also be used to good effect for announcements at locations such as airports and stations. Yamaji says that he wants to help people around the world through sound after establishing a solid footing in Japan. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of hearing-impaired people in the world will nearly double to 900 million people by the year 2050, due to the increase in the number of elderly people, etc. [1] When communication becomes impossible due to age-related hearing loss, stress in everyday life increases, which can lead to depression. The Mirai Speakers of SoundFun will not deliver only sound but also a lot of smiles to such aging societies in the future.
