and the bone vibration transducer further includes a swingable bar pivotally coupled with the exciter via a pivot holder to perform a swinging movement; wherein in the swinging movement, the swingable bar is swung to generate vibrations waves corresponding to the reproduced high frequency signal components and to convey the vibration waves to at least one bone of a user. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for perceiving high audio frequencies in stereo, comprising: a bone vibration transducer comprising an exciter configured to receive high frequency signal components and to reproduce the high frequency signal components; and the bone vibration transducer further comprising a swingable bar pivotally coupled with the exciter via a pivot holder to perform a swinging movement; wherein in the swinging movement, the swingable bar is swung to generate vibrations waves corresponding to the reproduced high frequency signal components and to convey the vibration waves to at least one bone of a user, wherein the swingable bar comprises a brass bar and a polymer bar overlappedly arranged on the brass bar. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the swingable bar is placed adjacent to a mandibular vestibule of the user's mouth. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the exciter is placed outside the user's mouth. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the brass bar is sandwiched in between the swingable bar and the polymer bar, wherein the swingable bar is pivotally coupled to the brass bar. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein, in the swinging movement, the swingable bar is vertically moving with respect to the pivot holder. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising a headphone set placed adjacent to the user's ears and configurated to receive middle-to-low frequency signal components and a second accelerometer placed adjacent to occipital bones of the user to receive the vibration waves and to convey the vibration waves to a second analyzer, wherein the second analyzer is configured to analyze the vibration waves and generate a second high frequency report. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one bone of the user comprises maxilla and/or mandibular bones and/or temporal bones, and/or occipital bones. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising a first accelerometer coupled on the swingable bar and configured to measure the vibration waves and to convey the vibration waves to a first analyzer, wherein the first analyzer is configured to analyze the vibration waves and generate a first high frequency report. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising a high pass filter communicated with a headphone set and a low pass filter communicated with the exciter, wherein the high pass filter is configured to extract high frequency signal components from input audio signals and the low pass filter is configured to extract medium to low frequency signal components from the input audio signals. ### Claim 10 A method for perceiving high audio frequency in stereo, comprising: pivotally coupling a swingable bar with an exciter via a pivot holder to form a bone vibration transducer; receiving, by the exciter, high-frequency signal components and reproducing the high frequency signal components; generating, by the swingable bar, vibration waves corresponding to the reproduced high frequency signal components in a swinging movement; and conveying, by the swingable bar, the vibration waves to at least one bone of a user, wherein the swingable bar comprises a brass bar and a polymer bar overlappedly arranged on the brass bar. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising a step of placing the swingable bar adjacent to mandibular vestibule of the user's mouth. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising a step of positioning the exciter outside the user's mouth. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the brass bar is sandwiched in between the swingable bar and the polymer bar, and the swingable bar is pivotally coupled to the brass bar. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, the step of generating, by the swingable bar, vibration waves corresponding to the reproduced high frequency signal components in a swinging movement further comprises a step of vertically moving the swingable bar with respect to the pivot holder. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising steps of: placing a headphone set adjacent to the user's ears, wherein the headphone set is configurated to receive middle-to-low frequency signal components; placing a second accelerometer adjacent to occipital bones of the user; receiving, by the second accelerometer, the vibration waves and conveying the vibration waves to the second analyzer; and analyzing, by the second analyzer, the vibration waves to generate a second high frequency report. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the at least one bone of the user comprises maxilla and/or mandibular bones and/or temporal bones, and/or occipital bones. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising steps of: coupling a first accelerometer on the swingable bar; measuring, by the first accelerometer, the vibration waves and conveying the vibration waves to a first analyzer; and analyzing, by the first analyzer, the vibration waves to generate a first high frequency report. ### Claim 18 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising steps of: communicating a high pass filter with a headphone set; extracting, by the high pass filter, high frequency signal components from input audio signals; communicating a low pass filter with exciter; and extracting, by the low pass filter, medium-to-low frequency signal components from the input audio signals.
