OIKLA has announced the release of Perception, an audio hearing protection algorithm designed for Remora PRO. Leveraging the capabilities of Sonical’s embedded operating system, CosmOS, Perception marks a leap in preserving auditory health while delivering audio experiences through headphones and all other ear-worn products.
In light of recent data from the World Health Organisation that brings to our attention the huge number of hearing issues being uncovered, particularly with younger listeners, everyone should be protecting their hearing.
OIKLA’s Perception technology blends two features to provide an audio experience that feels louder and more immersive while maintaining safe listening levels. Grammy award-winning engineer and producer Ricky Damian endorsed the technology, highlighting its potential.
Smart hearing loss prevention includes Proactive Threshold Monitoring where the technology monitors listening levels and alerts users or limits audio when safe thresholds are exceeded, ensuring continuous protection against hearing damage.
Advanced Loudness Compensation consists of Dynamic Content-Based Adjustment which harnesses the latest ISO standards, fine-tunes loudness based on the audio content and the frequency spectrum of the headphone acoustics and Enhanced Spatialization which offers advanced loudness compensation algorithms amplify spatial audio cues, offering a deeply immersive listening experience.
“Our partnership with Sonical has allowed us to combine cutting-edge technology with a steadfast commitment to user well-being,” said Luigi Cosi , CEO at OIKLA. “With the launch of Perception for Remora PRO, we are proud to offer users an unparalleled fusion of exceptional audio performance and advanced hearing protection capabilities.”
