A hearing device includes: a first microphone configured to provide a first input signal; a first processor unit configured to provide a processed signal based on the first input signal to compensate for a hearing loss of a user of the first hearing device; a receiver configured to output sound based on the processed signal; and a first sensor configured to provide a first sensor signal for detecting an atrial fibrillation condition of the user. An electronic device includes: a communication interface configured to communicate with a hearing device; and a processing unit configured to obtain, via the communication interface, information associated with an atrial fibrillation condition of a user, the information comprising a sensor data transmitted from the hearing device and/or information indicating the atrial fibrillation condition detected based on the sensor data; wherein the accessory device is configured to output a signal indicative of the atrial fibrillation condition.

A method for producing a hearing device shell includes producing a 3D-model of the shell by using ear canal measurement data; deriving a first set of data from the 3D-model; manufacturing a hearing device shell preform based on the first set of data such to assume an outer surface designed larger than the targeted final shape of the hearing device shell; calculating a second set of data from the 3D-model; and machining the surface of the hearing device shell preform based on the second set of data resulting in the hearing device shell.

A hearing aid device including sensors are disclosed. Specifically, a hearing aid with a temperature sensor and a reference sensor. Also disclosed is a method for estimating body core temperature.

An earmold having an earmold shell, the earmold shell having a first end facing a tympanic membrane when the earmold is worn by a user, and a second end facing toward a surrounding of the user when the earmold is worn by the user, includes: a receiver configured to provide an audio output signal; a receiver channel coupled to an output of the receiver and extending to a receiver opening in the first end; and a vent channel coupled to the receiver channel through a first vent port, the vent channel having a vent opening in the second end; wherein the receiver channel comprises a closing element, the closing element comprising a first magnetic member, wherein the closing element is configured to cause the first vent port to be open when in a first state, and to cause the first vent port to be closed when in a second state.

An apparatus for a hearing instrument, the hearing instrument being configured to be at least partially placed in an ear canal of a wearer of the hearing instrument, the apparatus comprising: a sealing element configured to seal off the ear canal when the hearing instrument with the apparatus is at least partially positioned in the ear canal, wherein operation of the sealing element is controlled by an electric control signal, the sealing element being at least partially made from an electroactive material.

An ear level part for a hearing device includes a body configured to be worn within a concha of a user's ear and a retention element arranged on the body and configured to bear against an antihelix of the user's ear, wherein a cable is arranged to electrically connect the ear level part with a behind the ear part of the hearing device, wherein the cable is run within the retention element and emerges from an end section thereof.

An in-ear device includes a molding shaped to hold the in-ear device in an ear, and an audio package configured to emit sound. The audio package is structured to removably attach to the molding. An electronics package is structured to removably couple to the audio package and removably attach to the molding. The electronics package includes a controller to control the sound output from the audio package.

Retention members for an in-ear headphone include a base portion and a substantially straight flexible finger extending from the base portion. Absent external forces, the flexible finger includes a substantially straight longitudinal axis and a back surface extending from a proximal end portion to a distal end portion and having a plurality of recesses along a length of the back surface. The flexible finger is configured to, during use, bend into a curved shape for disposition under a user's antihelix. In-ear headphones include a shell defining a volume housing an audio driver, a nozzle extending from the shell configured for at least partial insertion into an ear canal, and a flexible retention member coupled to the shell, the flexible finger including a substantially straight longitudinal axis, a back surface, and a concave front surface.

A milling blank for producing medical-technical molded parts made from a material produced from at least two components, wherein a first component A comprises a poly(alkyl methacrylate) polymer, and wherein a second component B comprises at least one alkyl acrylate monomere and/or one alkyl methacrylate monomer, in which the poly(alkyl methacrylate) polymer of component A is at least partially soluble, wherein the material comprises a flexibilizer as a further component, wherein the flexibilizer is selected from the group of citric-acid-based, adipic-acid-based, phthalic-acid-based or aliphatic esters.

A method of making a mold, the mold having an interior cavity for containing a first material and a second material, wherein the mold comprises a first port configured to receive the first material, a second port configured to receive the second material, and a first channel for directing the second material to within the first material, the method includes: determining an electronic file having data representing a shape of an ear; processing the electronic file to create an electronic model of the mold, the electronic model of the mold having sprue features; and creating the mold based on the electronic model of the mold.
