Magnet System for Wireless Earbuds and Case

The present disclosure provides a magnetic system within a case for an electronic accessory. The case may include a housing portion and a lid coupled to the housing portion. Within the housing portion may be a housing magnet. The housing magnet may be oriented such that the magnetic field of the housing magnet is oriented transverse to a longitudinal axis of the case. The housing magnet may have a size and strength to magnetically couple the electronic accessory within a cavity of the housing. A hinge magnet may be located along an axis of rotation of the lid with respect to the housing. The hinge magnet and housing magnet may magnetically interact to form a bistable magnetic hinge. Thus, the one housing magnet may be large enough and have a strong enough magnetic field to perform various functions.

A module of a hearing device is removably connectable with a housing of the hearing device, the module being prepared for insertion of a removal tool. The module includes at least two side walls opposing each other. The side walls are provided with a first engagement means, and the side walls are deformable such to allow engagement of the first engagement means and a second engagement means formed on an anchoring portion of the removal tool.

AI voice interaction method, device and system

The present disclosure provides an AI voice interaction method, including: an earphone acquiring a user voice; a body receiving a digital voice signal sent by the earphone through a wireless communication, and sending the digital voice signal through mobile data or WiFi to a cloud server; the cloud server performing a voice recognition and semantic analysis on the digital voice signal; the body making a call or sending network data to the body according to the analysis result, to make the earphone perform a corresponding voice broadcast according to the network data. Accordingly, the present disclosure also provides an AI voice interaction device and system.

Eartip with control leak

Embodiments describe an eartip including an eartip body having an attachment end and an interfacing end opposite from the attachment end, and an attachment structure coupled to the inner eartip body at the attachment end. The eartip body can include: an inner eartip body having a sidewall extending between the interfacing end and the attachment end, the sidewall defining a channel and having a first thickness near the attachment end and a second thickness different from the first thickness at the interfacing end; and an outer eartip body sized and shaped to be inserted into an ear canal and extending from the interfacing end, the outer eartip body extending toward the attachment end of the eartip. The attachment structure including a sidewall extending around a periphery of the attachment structure and defining an opening extending through the sidewall that fluidly couples the channel to an ambient environment.

COMPACT HEARING AIDS
20210308461 · 2021-10-07 ·

The present disclosure relates to compact hearing aids, components thereof, and support systems therefor, as well as methods of insertion and removal thereof. The compact hearing aids generally include a sensor, such as a microphone, an actuation mass, an energy source for providing power to the compact hearing aid, a processor, and an actuator enclosed in a housing that is designed to be inserted through the tympanic membrane during a minimally-invasive outpatient procedure. In operation, the microphone receives sound waves and converts the sound waves into electrical signals. A processor then modifies the electrical signals and provides the electrical signals to the actuator. The actuator converts the electrical signals into mechanical motion, which actuates the actuation mass to modulate the velocity or the position of the tympanic membrane.

MINIATURE EAR CANAL TYPE HEARING AID
20210314713 · 2021-10-07 ·

The present invention discloses a miniature ear canal hearing aid, electronic elements other than a receiver being wrapped inside a housing, a front end of the housing being sealed and fixed at a rear end of the receiver, a sound outlet of the receiver being exposed to an outside of the housing, the receiver being wrapped with an eardrum head thereon, the eardrum head being fixed at the front end of the housing in a detachable manner, and the sound outlet of the receiver being located inside the eardrum head. The structure of the present invention can increase a degree of curvature of a portion going deep into the ear canal, reduce a volume of the hearing aid, and improve adaptability, comfort and concealment.

Wax management system

A guard for a space access device is configured to output air flow through a distal end portion thereof. The guard includes q housing having a proximal end opening, a distal end opening, and a filter portion positioned between the proximal and distal end openings. The filter includes a first plate having a first opening therethrough and a second plate having a second opening therethrough. When the first plate is overlaid in contact with the second plate, this forms an aperture that extends through both the first and second plates.

Multi-layer porous shielding

Embodiments describe an acoustic shielding component including a stiffener formed of a rigid material providing structural integrity to the acoustic shielding component, a cosmetic mesh comprising a plurality of interlaced wires, and an acoustic mesh disposed between the stiffener and the cosmetic mesh. The stiffener includes first and second walls extending along a length of the stiffener and a plurality of ribs spaced apart from each other and extending between the first and second walls. The cosmetic mesh includes a mesh cover disposed over the stiffener and having an outer surface and an inner surface, and a mesh wall extending from an outer periphery of the inner surface of the mesh cover and defining a tab.
