"Drop the Headphones", DaDaABC Announces an Exciting Development in Online English Education
SHANGHAI, Oct. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Many Chinese parents don't know how much damage headphones can cause to their children's hearing. When they chose an online English learning platform, they may not consider the damage of headphones. In fact, with the limit to technology, many platforms require children to wear the headphones when they have lessons on PC, iPad or smartphones.
A new analysis by The Wirecutter, a product recommendations website owned by The New York Times Company, has found that half of the 30 sets of children's headphones tested did not restrict volume to the safe limit. In 2015, World Health Organization (WHO) suggested that parents need to show children how to adjust headphones properly below 75dB or not to use headphones, as this will be much better for their hearing. Children's digital health has become an increasingly big problem in our daily life as children use technology more frequently. Please don't wait until the damage is done and cause potential hearing loss before thinking of how to protect your children. But how can we protect our children from the dangers of headphones?
DaDaABC made a big thing happen within online English education. DaDaABC has developed its own technology to create healthier and safer conditions for young English learners. This pioneering, new project of DaDaABC, "Drop the Headphones", has been recognized by parents as a great way to protect their children's hearing. As the data shows, young learners in DaDaABC can have lessons without headphones on PC, iPad, and smartphones. The audio is always smooth, enabled by DaDaABC's great cutting-edge, behind the scenes technology in the classroom.
We believe that safety and quality are the two most important factors that parents consider when choosing an English language platform. By removing the requirement for students to wear headphones, DaDaABC has committed to further improving classes for their students.
"Drop the Headphones has been a great breakthrough in K12 online English education, and most important thing for those young English learners is how to balance body condition and learning." The CEO of DaDaABC explained, "if the volume of the headphones is over 75dB, the hearing of children will be damaged a lot over time. But it is difficult for children to control the volume of headphones, because it is hard for manufactures to specify a precise decibel level in their headphones. So, by introducing 'Drop the Headphones', we hope that children can have healthy learning condition without headphones and prevent them from any hearing loss. No matter where you learn English, online or offline, no headphones is a good way to learn a second language."
The users of DaDaABC say, without headphones, children are more laid back and relaxed than wearing headphones. They can use their body language vividly to express their thoughts and the passion of learning can be easily ignited. They do not feel worried about becoming tangled in the cables, feeling the weight of the headphones on their heads or feeling pressure on the ears.
It is known that noise, echoes and interruptions will happen commonly in the process of a lesson if there are no headphones. The technology is still a challenge for other companies but DaDaABC has solved it. Revealed by the engineers of DaDaABC, the technology they adopted needs to collaborate with specialized audio and video skill, whilst the technology must be compatible with the built-in audio hardware. By working hard, DaDaABC found the solution to figure out all the sound problems.
In May of 2016, DaDaABC launched the new app for iPad which became the very first two-way interactive online English learning platform in China. As mentioned previously, DaDaABC is committed to developing its own technology and adopting advanced streaming media to create a high standard. DaDaABC also launched a completely transparent online classroom where parents can watch and supervise the class remotely from a mobile device while sitting in another room. This allows parents to give more autonomy to their children during class while still supervising and ensuring their satisfaction with the teaching. As well as this, children can replay the class in playback mode to help them to review the lesson.
As the saying goes, "Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully." DaDaABC believes something seemingly small such as allowing students to drop the headphones will make the industry flourish and improve the learning experience - thus providing a higher quality service for all users and externalizing the power of DaDaABC.
