2 Independent Claims

1. A bone conduction device comprising; a flexible cover having an exterior surface defining an interior cavity, the cover having batting disposed therein; a plurality of bone conduction transducers proximate with the exterior surface, the plurality of bone conduction transducers disposed between the flexible cover and the cushion, wherein each of the plurality of bone conduction transducers are configured to transmit sounds waves to stimulate a user through bone conduction; a sound source in communication with a wireless transmitter, wherein the wireless transmitter is electrically connected to and transmitting signals to the bone conduction transducer; and one or more USB ports electrically connected to a power source, wherein the power source is configured to receive, store, and transmit power to the plurality of bone conduction transducers.
14. A method of stimulating a user using bone conduction comprising the steps of: disposing a bone conduction system within a flexible cover; transmitting an audio signal, utilizing an audio source, to the bone conduction system; receiving, utilizing a wireless receiver, the audio signal; and transducing the audio signal such that a plurality of bone conduction transducers stimulate the vestibular/somatosensory system of a user.
