The invention relates to the field of hearing aids and earphones. More specifically, the invention relates to a universal adapter for earphones and hearing aids worn in the ear. The universal adapter serves for the introduction of amplified sound of a hearing aid or earphone into the auditory canal, wherein the adapter has trapezoidal hollow segments (5) which are arranged separate from one another, with their side walls (15) that radially decrease from the dorsal to the proximal side, along a centrally arranged locking nipple (2) which serves to receive a sound outlet connector of the hearing aid. The hollow segments (5) are connected with the proximal ends (14) of the contact surfaces (1) to a proximal end (6) of the locking nipple (2). The adapter has the shape of a shortened ellipsoidal body. It can automatically adapt to the shape of the auditory canal.

A mobile terminal comprises: a housing; an audio channel protruding from one side of the housing, one end of the audio channel being open; an audio bracket comprising a first portion inserted into the audio channel and a second portion positioned inside the housing; an audio output portion seated on a first seating portion of the audio bracket; an internal microphone seated on a second seating portion of the audio bracket; and a controller mounted inside the housing so as to control the audio output portion such that sounds are output, the controller processing sounds collected from the internal microphone. The audio bracket comprises: a barrier included in the first portion so as to delimit the audio channel into a first audio channel and a second audio channel; the first seating portion connected to the first audio channel and formed on the second portion; and the second seating portion connected to the second audio channel and positioned on the first portion. The mobile terminal further comprises an internal microphone for collecting sounds input through the user's body such that external noise can be removed more effectively.

Hearing aid devices, methods of manufacture, methods of use, and kits are provided. In certain aspects, the hearing aid devices comprise an apparatus having a transducer and a retention structure comprising a shape profile corresponding to a tissue of the user, and a layer of elastomer.

An earpiece of hearing device for insertion into an ear canal of a user and having a longitudinal axis, the earpiece includes an earpiece housing having a distal end, a proximal end, and an outer surface connecting the distal end to the proximal end, a receiver comprising a receiver housing, the receiver located within the earpiece housing, and a vent mechanism arranged in the earpiece housing, wherein the vent mechanism is arranged distal to the receiver.

At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to an earphone, ear device, eartip, or earplug configured to inserted in an ear canal of the ear. The earphone, ear device, eartip, or earplug is configured to occlude or partially occlude the ear canal of the ear. The earphone, ear device, eartip, or earplug includes a chamber to occlude or partially occlude the ear canal that is sealed when inserted in the ear canal and open to the external environment when outside the ear.

An ear mount includes a body part mounted on a conchal cavity and an insertion part mounted on a cylindrical part and inserted into an ear canal. A cover configured to cover an inner housing of the body part with a protrusion formed thereon includes: a first end sealed and fixed to the inner housing; an intermediate part separated from the inner housing to form an air chamber between the intermediate part and the inner housing, and configured to cover the protrusion; a second end located opposite to the first end with the intermediate part therebetween; and an opening located at the second end and through which the cylindrical part is inserted. The ear mount includes a pressure regulator for controlling ventilation of air between the air chamber and an outer space through the opening in accordance with a pressure difference between the air chamber and the outer space.

A hearing device seal module in accordance with at least one of the present inventions includes a tubular seal carrier defining a lumen configured to receive a hearing device core and including a connector region and a resilient seal support region formed from resilient material, a seal carrier support connected to the seal carrier connector region of the tubular seal carrier, including a support tube defining a longitudinal axis and a lumen configured to permit movement of the hearing device core and a tool along the longitudinal axis, and having an open state and a closed state.

A wearable device including a body having one or more embedded electronic components, the body further including a thermoset material having a polymeric backbone with at least one urethane linkage and a glass transition temperature. At a first temperature that is lower than the glass transition temperature, the body has an original shape. When the body is heated to a second temperature that is higher than the glass transition temperature, the body is deformable from the original shape to a first shape and when the body is cooled to a third temperature that is lower than the glass transition temperature, the first shape is maintained. The body is further configured to transition from the first shape to the original shape when the body is heated from the third temperature to a fourth temperature that is higher than the glass transition temperature.

A hearing instrument comprises: a microphone; a housing that defines an opening that leads to the microphone; a button disposed on the housing; and a ring member configured to be disposed within a recess defined in the housing and to define a perimeter around the button, wherein: the ring member defining an acoustic path that has a non-straight segment, the acoustic path has an external port and an internal port, and the internal port is configured to be aligned with the microphone opening of the housing.
