Short-term memory is reduced by about 5% in noisy environments.

Do you find it difficult to concentrate on your work in your office because of the sound of the phone or the air conditioning?

About 14% of business people put up with noise

There are many ways to deal with this, listening to music, changing locations, changing the hours you work, freecle The aforementioned survey conducted by Inc. found that "about 14% of businesspeople are holding back." The reason for this was that "it is difficult to communicate with the people around me".

Summary (Author's Thoughts)

I can't use headphones or earplugs in the office because I'm afraid of my surroundings. I (Komoto) was one of them.
During the day, we couldn't get work done, sometimes coming in early in the morning to work, and sometimes working late into the night. To be honest, it was very hard for me.

Recently, a solution using wireless earphones with "outside sound capture" and bone conduction speakers. will be added to the "αble" series one day. I am! I am.
(At the time of writing this article, I'm probably asking for the most. Sweat.)
