The disclosure relates to a hearing device comprising a housing configured to be at least partially inserted into an ear canal of a user, the housing having an opening leading to an interior space enclosed by the housing; a slidable member moveable relative to the opening between different positions including a first position and a second position; an actuator configured to actuate the movement of the slidable member forth from the first position to the second position, and back from the second position to the first position; and a controller configured to control the actuator. The disclosure further relates to a hearing system comprising the hearing device and a stationary device, and a method of operating the hearing device.

A charging case includes a main body, a lid and an actuating mechanism. The main body has an accommodating space extending along an axial direction. The lid is pivotably connected to the main body and has a guiding bump which swings as the lid is opened or closed. The actuating assembly includes a slider and a return mechanism. The slider is slidably disposed in the accommodating space and is configured to reciprocate along the axial direction as the guiding bump swings and pushes the slider. The return mechanism is connected to the slider and is configured to provide the slider with a force in the axial direction.

The present disclosure provides an earphone charging case including a case body, a case cover, and a sliding mechanism. The case body includes an earphone charging slot. The case cover is disposed on the case body to cover the earphone charging slot. The sliding mechanism is disposed between the case body and the case cover. The sliding mechanism includes a first sliding part and a second sliding part corresponding to the first sliding part. The case cover is slidably connected to the case body through the sliding mechanism. The earphone charging case can be opened and closed through linear sliding movement between the case cover and the case body.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for performing a role swapping operation between a pair of non-tethered wireless ear buds after detecting a triggering event. Further, state information can be coordinated between devices, including in connection with performing a role swap between buds in a pair of wireless, untethered ear buds, where one wireless ear bud is in a primary role and is responsible for a connection with a companion device, and another wireless ear bud in the pair is in a secondary role.

The present disclosure concerns a hearing device (10) with improved sealing and providing easy exchange of for example covers and/or filters and/or sealings in/on the hearing device.

The present disclosure concerns a system comprising a hearing device and a tool, and the tool itself, for exchanging for example covers and/or filters and/or sealings in/on the hearing device.

An apparatus for cleaning earphones that includes a brush element, a positioning element, and a motive element. A brush element selectively contacts and removes debris from an earphone, and a positioning element supports the earphone in a desired position relative to the brush element. A motive element is configured to move the brush element relative to the earphone. A corresponding system and method are also disclosed and claimed herein.

A head-mounted display apparatus has a frame with a left member, a right member, and a centralized member. The centralized member is positioned in between the left member and the right member. Further, the left member adheres to a left side of a head of a user. Moreover, the right member adheres to a right side of the head of the user. Additionally, the head-mounted display apparatus has a display area operably attached to the centralized member. Further, the head-mounted display apparatus has a processor integrated within the frame. The processor generates an immersive experience for display on the display area. Finally, the head-mounted display apparatus has a removable input controller positioned within the left member or the right member. The removable input controller navigates the immersive experience based on one or more inputs received from the user at the removable input controller after the removable input controller is removed from the left member or the right member.

A system and method for wireless charging a wireless earbud. The wireless earbud having a body that includes a passive magnetic shield and a coil. The coil is wound around a portion of the body comprising the passive magnetic shielding. The wireless earbud receiving wireless energy in response to the placement of the body within an electromagnetic field, which results in the charging of a battery of the wireless earbud.

An enclosure may be provided with a housing. The housing may have an opening that separates and joins along a seam. A magnetic closure may have a pair of mating flexible magnetic members such as flexible rings or strips that run along the seam. Magnetic-field shunts may be provided in the flexible magnetic members. Multiple magnetic elements may be formed along the length of each magnetic member to form a multipole permanent magnet. Magnetic attraction may be varied along the lengths of the magnetic members and may be varied as a function of the separation between opposing magnet members. A magnetic clasp may be provided on the housing. The magnetic clasp may have attracting magnets to help close the opening in the housing. Protruding clasp portions may be formed from flexible material and may have embedded magnets configured to repel each other to facilitate use of the clasp.
