A wearable apparatus for hearing assistance, such as hearing glasses, is described. The wearable apparatus includes two microphones which are separated by a separation distance from each other. A display is included which is configured to present images in front of a user’s eyes. The wearable apparatus also has a processor to receive a first sound at a first time from a first microphone, receive the first sound at a second time from a second microphone, determine a direction of origin of the first sound based on the first time, the second time and the separation distance, and provide a visual indication of the direction of origin of the first sound using the display. The processor may also generate captions based on received speech and display the captions using the display.

The present disclosure relates to an acoustic output apparatus. The acoustic output apparatus comprising: at least one low-frequency acoustic driver that outputs sound from at least two first sound guiding holes; at least one high-frequency acoustic driver that outputs sound from at least two second sound guiding holes; and a controller configured to cause the low-frequency acoustic driver to output sound in a first frequency range, and cause the high-frequency acoustic driver to output sound in a second frequency range, wherein the second frequency range includes frequencies higher than the first frequency range.

This hearing device, for example, includes a vibrator for transmitting vibration corresponding to a voice signal to the nasal bone of a user to let the user hear sound. The hearing device may further preferably include an eyeglass-type housing for carrying the vibrator in a position at which a nose pad is provided. The hearing device may also preferably incorporate a voice signal reception unit for receiving, wirelessly or by wire, a voice signal generated by an external sound source, or an internal sound source for self-generating a voice signal. When implementation as a hearing aid or a sound collector is contemplated, the external sound source or the internal sound source may preferably be a microphone for collecting ambient sound.

Eyewear providing flexible audio to a user. The eyewear includes a frame having two temple arms. The frame also has a front rim retaining two lenses. The eyewear also includes an open ear speaker for firing directional audio to an ear of a user, thereby providing semi-private audio to the user. The eyewear may include a wireless connection to another smart device or network.

Disclosed is an intelligent head-mounted apparatus, comprising: a lens; a leg coupled to the lens and provided with a cavity therein; a sound generation device provided in the cavity and dividing the cavity into front and rear sound cavities; a sound outlet hole provided on the leg and in communication with the front sound cavity; main and auxiliary sound leakage holes provided on the leg and in communication with the rear sound cavity, positions of the sound outlet hole, the main sound leakage hole and the auxiliary sound leakage hole are configured such that the sound outlet hole and the auxiliary sound leakage hole are located at a front side of an auricle of a wearer, the main sound leakage hole is located at a rear side of the auricle of the wearer when the wearer wears the intelligent head-mounted apparatus.

Various aspects include audio eyeglasses with a frame including: a lens region; a pair of arms extending from the lens region; a hinge coupling each of the pair of arms with the lens region; and a cable extending through each hinge, where each hinge includes: a body defining a cavity accommodating the cable; and a hinge mechanism within the body, the hinge mechanism having: a spring located in the lens region, the spring including at least one lever arm extending within the cavity; and a cam member contacting the lever arm of the spring, where the cam member includes: a first contact surface for resisting kickback from the spring when the audio eyeglasses are in a fully open position, and a second, distinct contact surface for resisting kickback from the spring when the audio eyeglasses are in a fully closed position.

The present disclosure relates to an acoustic output device including an earphone core, a controller, a Bluetooth module, and a button module. The earphone core may include at least one low-frequency acoustic driver configured to output sounds from at least two first guiding holes and at least one high-frequency acoustic driver configured to output sounds from at least two second guiding holes. The controller may be configured to direct the at least one low-frequency acoustic driver to output the sounds in a first frequency range and direct the at least one high-frequency acoustic driver to output the sounds in a second frequency range. The Bluetooth module may be configured to connect the acoustic output device with at least one terminal device. The button module may be configured to implement an interaction between a user of the acoustic output device and the acoustic output device.

An adaptor system to facilitate use of eyewear with an audio processor for a cochlear hearing implant. The system includes an audio processor adaptor configured to mount to the audio processor and an eyewear adaptor configured to mount to the eyewear. The audio processor adaptor and the eyewear adaptor can be selectively connected to join the eyewear and the audio processor. The audio processor adaptor may include an ear hook portion that allows the audio processor to be worn over a wearer's ear even when separated from the eyewear. The adaptor system may be provided as a kit including a plurality of audio processor adaptors configured to mount to different audio processors and/or a plurality of eyewear adaptors configured to mount to different eyewear. The adaptors may include universal connectors that allow any audio processor adaptor to be interconnected with any eyewear adaptor.
