Provided is a wearable device that is worn on a human ear and mainly outputs or inputs sound. The outer casingis formed into an elongated shape so as to fit the cymba conchaeformed between the antihelix inferior crusand the crus helicis. The sound generating unitincludes a vibration elementand a weight. The vibration elementhas an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction of the outer casing, and has one end fixed to the inner wall of the outer casing, and the other end to which a weightis attached, the other hand being an open end. By applying an alternating electric field to the vibration element, vibration corresponding to audio is generated.
