Current hearing aids amplify the sounds that patients can hear and those that patients cannot hear. The ability of modulating sound amplification to meet the need of a person is limited.
Hearing aids also amplify the background ambient noises. The combination results in distortion which leads to lack of use.
Hearing aids can not be used

Hearing aids can not be used for people who are born deaf.
Hearing aids use for those who suffer different degrees of hearing impairment due to age, disease or surgeries and trauma.
For those who suffer different degrees of hearing impairment due to age, disease or surgeries and trauma, hearing aid use is problematic. Thus 60 % of hearing aid users do not use their hearing aids because of sound distortion and suboptimal amplification.

Our Mission
Niushan restores a sense of hearing by going around the inner ear and directly to the auditory cortex.
The Niushan does this in 3 ways.
- Skin electrical stimulation
- Skin tactile stimulation
- Ultrasound vibrations to the mastoid bone for bone conduction stimulation.
limitations of current hearing aids
Distortion of sounds. Uncomfortable and Unsightly. Social Stigma. Expensive.
