Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga, kubikwe ukuthi i-Apple ibiyi ukusebenza nomkhiqizi wosizo lokuzwa uCochlear ukwazi ukunikeza izixazululo ze-Bluetooth nokuxazulula ezinye izinselelo zobuchwepheshe ezivumela a ukuxhumana okuqondile kwalawa madivayisi ngama-iPhones.
Manje, ulwazi olusha luvele kushicilelo Wired Banikela ngemininingwane eminingi ngomsebenzi owenziwa kulokhu futhi bakhuluma ngokuthi "i-Apple ilifaka kanjani izwi emakhanda abasebenzisi" ngenxa yezobuchwepheshe. UTim Cook uphinde waxoxa ngalolu daba kuphrofayili yakhe ye-Twitter ntambama, ethi uyaziqhenya ngomsebenzi owenziwa yi-Apple kule ndawo.
Imininingwane ye Wired khuluma ngendaba kaMathias Bahnmueller, 49, onenkinga yokungezwa futhi asebenzise uhlelo olwenziwe yi-Apple neCochlear:
Ukufakwa kwe-Cochlear gwema inqubo yendabuko yokuzwa ngokufaka into ethile endlebeni yangaphakathi nokuyixhuma ngama-electrode kuya enzwa ethumela amasiginali alalelwayo ebuchosheni. Ukufakwa kuthatha umsindo kumakrofoni wangaphandle osizwa yiprosesa yomsindo, evame ukutholakala ngemuva kwendlebe. Kuze kube manje, abasebenzisi bekufanele babhekane nezilawuli kude ukulungisa izilungiselelo zabo.
Ukubhekana Smartphones has imishini ezimele iyadingeka lokho kuzovumela ukuxhumana ngenxa yekhwalithi yayo ephansi nokubambezeleka okucasulayo okwenzekile. Kodwa-ke, uBahnmueller, umphathi wezokuphepha kwezimoto oneminyaka engama-49, usanda kuhlola isisombululo esisha. Isizathu esenza angiqinisekise ngokushesha okukhulu ukuthi okokusebenza ayekugqoke endlebeni yakhe exhunywe kufakelwa kwakuxhunywe ngqo kwi-iPhone yakhe, ehambisa inkulumo ekhanda lakhe.
Idivayisi ithole ukuvunywa kwe-FDA ngoJuni futhi impela kuyimpumelelo embonini. I-Cochlear Nucleus 7 Prosesa Yomsindo yisixazululo sokuqala sokwamukelwa yi-FDA enikeza ubudlelwano phakathi kokufakwa kweCochlear namafoni noma amaphilisi ahlakaniphile. Ukuxhumeka okunjalo kusho ukuthi abasebenzisi bangathola umculo, ama-podcast, nezinye izinhlobo zomsindo wedijithali ngokudlulisela ngqo lokhu kusuka kudivayisi kuya kugebhezi. Kukhona nesici esakhiwe yi-Apple esibizwa nge-Live Listen esivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi basebenzise i-iPhone sengathi umbhobho.
USarah Herrlinger, Umqondisi weNqubomgomo Yokufinyeleleka Komhlaba ka-Apple, ukhulume ngemizamo eyenziwa yinkampani kule ndawo:
“Ngenkathi amadivayisi ethu eklanyelwe ukuba izinsiza-kuzwa zihambelane iminyaka eminingi, sibonile ukuthi ulwazi lwabantu abazama ukushaya ucingo belungahlali luhle ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ngakho-ke sihlanganise abantu abaningi ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene ezizungeze inkampani ukuqala ukucwaninga izindlela zokwenza inqubo ibe lula.
Inhloso yethu bekuwukususa zonke lezo zinto ezingeziwe ezidinga amabhethri futhi ezingangena endleleni, ukuze kuthi lapho inkinobho yokulanda icindezelwe, umsindo wekholi uye ngqo futhi ngaso leso sikhathi osizweni lokuzwa olufakiwe. "
Ngaphandle kokungabaza, le ndawo iyi- inkambu ebidinga intuthuko enkulu futhi i-Apple ibikwazi lokhu uma kuziwa ekwenzeni ngcono ukuhambisana kwamadivayisi ayo nezinsiza-kuzwa ezisetshenziswa ngabantu abayizithulu. Manje yisikhathi sokwenza ngcono umkhiqizo nokwenza ukuthi noma ngubani onobunzima bokuzwa akwazi ukufinyelela kuwo. Ukwakhiwa kwezinsizakusebenza zokuzwa kuthathe izinga elikhulu ezikhathini zamuva, kepha ukuhambisana phakathi kwalawa madivayisi nama-smartphone noma amaphilisi bekuhlala kulindile. Izinkampani zeTech ezinamandla we-Apple kanye abaphathi abazinikele njengoTim Cook Kumele benze ukuthuthukiswa kwezinyathelo ezisiza umphakathi, ikakhulukazi lawo maqembu awadingayo, njengabantu abanezinkinga zokuzwa.
