A ring-shaped cushion for a hearing protector or audio headset. The cushion has a circumferential contact pad for sealing on a wearer's head and an attachment for sealing with an earmuff. The cushion further has a sound insulation tube that inwardly defines an inner space. The sound insulation tube extends between the contact pad and the attachment. The cushion has a ventilation passage that extends entirely through the cushion between an inlet opening in the contact pad and an area outside of the inner space. The cushion may further include one or more physiological sensors to monitor the health of a wearer.

A charging case having one or more charging docks for charging one or more earbuds. The charging case can further have UV LEDs for automatically sterilizing the earbuds while charging.

The earpiece with internal UV cleaning source includes one or more internal UV light sources, specifically emitting UVC light. The UVC light is emitted during charging of the earbud, thus conserving battery power by only emitting during periods of ample power availability. In a preferred embodiment, the UV light is emitted behind the speaker, passing through and bouncing around the clear speaker mounting bracket, or through holes in the housing/frame bracket. The result is that all internal sections of the earpiece that could harbor bacteria or viruses are exposed to the UV light.

An apparatus structured to contact external tissue, such as skin, of a user includes an elastomeric contacting portion that is structured to directly engage the external tissue. The contacting portion has an engineered surface (64A, 64B) that includes a plurality of non-random, predesigned surface features (70, 74B, 76B, 78B) designed to reduce friction and improve user comfort. In one implementation, the pitch (P) between each immediately adjacent pair of the surface features (70, 76B) is less than or equal to a predetermined maximum pitch value, and the height (H) of each of the surface features (70, 76B) is less than or equal to a predetermined maximum height value.

The present invention relates to a headphone earcup cover device that increases the comfort and functionality of the earcups of a pair of over-ear headphones. The device is primarily comprised of a body with a first opening and a second opening. The device is comprised of a fabric material that in different embodiments is comprised of a warming fabric material and/or a moisture-wicking, water-resistant material. The device can be secured around an earcup of a headphone via an elastic band, drawstring, or other fastener. The device may also be comprised of a padding to increase comfort.

Disclosed herein is a wireless microphone system including a multifunctional Bluetooth microphone with a touch screen and a two-channel UHF (Ultra high frequency) Bluetooth microphone receiver receives a voice signal by performing a short-distance communication with the multifunctional Bluetooth microphone with a touch screen to transmit the voice signal to a third device for playback.

Apparatus and methods include a single-pair earphone sterilize with germicidal light. Embodiments include a housing and a germicidal light source. The apparatus may include circuitry, such as power, to support the germicidal light source and a divider to shield the circuitry from the germicidal light source. The apparatus may also include attachment portions to position and maintain earphones in a position relative to the germicidal light source.

A sanitary cover for a communication device may include at least two covers, each of the at least two covers creating a physical barrier between at least a portion of the communication device and a user. The sanitary cover for the communication device may include a connective strip configured to connect at least a first cover to a second cover of the at least two covers.

The earpiece with internal UV cleaning source includes one or more internal UV light sources, specifically emitting UVC light. The UVC light is emitted during charging of the earbud, thus conserving battery power by only emitting during periods of ample power availability. In a preferred embodiment, the UV light is emitted behind the speaker, passing through and bouncing around the clear speaker mounting bracket, or through holes in the housing/frame bracket. The result is that all internal sections of the earpiece that could harbor bacteria or viruses are exposed to the UV light.

A portable dryer and disinfection device includes a container having an interior for receiving one or more electronic components for drying and disinfection. A lid is configured to be removably secured to an upper portion of the container. An ultraviolet light source is attached to a bottom portion of the lid, wherein ultraviolet light generated by the ultraviolet light source is directed into the interior of the container below the lid. A power source is disposed in the lid for providing electrical power to the ultraviolet light source. A tray is disposed within the interior of the container on which the one or more electronic components are placed for drying and disinfection. The tray includes holes that provide air flow communication through the removable tray. A removable desiccant holder is disposed at least partially within the interior of the container below the tray.
