I am obsessed with the world of William Gibson's "Neuromancer"..Obsessed. So the question of how to wear earWorm so that it is not only optimally usable, but also not so futurey that it puts people off. The current model is a strap witha big lump of 3d printed plastic and poly morph, basically a proof of concept for the technology, but it wasnt always this way.

Initially I printed ear clips, that would wrap behind the wearers ear and be fairly discreet. However this proved less successful at creating the pressure required to conduct sound through the skull. This is still the end goal but the point of attachment to the head is going to be a little more extreme...

Sub-Dermal Implants. Bone conducting headphones for the partially deaf already exist, they're expensive and hard to get a hold of unless you have a medical reason, as well they are mounted on the users skull. My potential workaround will be to mount the final product on my head using a magnet-topped subdermal implant positioned directly above and behind my dominant ear. This will allow a hard point of attachment on my head, and the foot which holds the dermal in place could potentially be used as an extra close foot for the speaker to get another level of clarity.

I am currently in the research phases, I shall keep you posted...
