Mirai Speaker's ear-cuff hearing amplifier project on GREEN FUNDING surpassed 500 million yen in total support, with over 15,000 backers and a record number of support comments for the platform. The project also set a new record for total support in the hearing amplifier category. General sales begin August 20, 2026.
The crowdfunding campaign for the Mirai Speaker Ear and Ear Lite ear-cuff hearing amplifiers closed on August 16 with 503,353,669 yen in total support from 15,556 backers. GREEN FUNDING confirmed the project set platform records for both support comments and total funding in the hearing amplifier category.
Mirai Speaker attributes the response to the device's open-ear design, app-based hearing adjustment, and remote microphone function in the charging case. The company held demonstration events in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka during the campaign period, which it says helped drive purchases.
General sales begin August 20, 2026 at electronics retailers, general merchandise stores, eyewear shops, and mail-order channels, followed by the company's official online store.
