Dental equipment manufacturer Yoshida Seisakusho KK has developed a dental patient chair equipped with a speaker that enables bone conduction of sound.

The bone conduction device is located in the chair’s headrest, enabling patients to enjoy music of their choice while being treated, without listening to the drilling and other noises.
