MICROPHONES
The present disclosure provides a microphone including at least one acoustoelectric transducer and an acoustic structure. The acoustoelectric transducer is configured to convert a sound signal to an electrical signal. The acoustic structure includes a sound guiding tube and an acoustic cavity. The acoustic cavity is in acoustic communication with the acoustoelectric transducer, and is in acoustic communication with outside of the microphone through the sound guiding tube. The acoustic structure has a first resonance frequency, the acoustoelectric transducer has a second resonance frequency, and an absolute value of a difference between the first resonance frequency and the second resonance frequency is not less than 100 Hz. By disposing different acoustic structures, resonance peaks in different frequency ranges may be added to the microphone, which improves a sensitivity of the microphone near multiple resonance peaks, thereby improving a sensitivity of the microphone in the entire wide frequency band.

The microphone may include: a shell structure and a vibration pickup portion, wherein the vibration pickup portion may generate vibration in response to vibration of the shell structure; the vibration transmission portion may be configured to transmit the vibration generated by the vibration pickup portion; and an acoustic-electric conversion component configured to receive the vibration transmitted by the vibration transmission portion to generate an electrical signal, wherein the vibration transmission portion and at least a portion of vibration pickup portion may form a vacuum cavity, and the acoustic-electric conversion component may be located in the vacuum cavity.
Pre-amplification conditioning circuit for a transducer audio device
A microphone system includes a microphone and a pre-amplification conditioning circuit configured within a housing and comprising a pair of matched JFETs configured in a differential pair with common-source configuration and, when biased, are operable to receive and amplify the differential microphone output signal.

A headphone includes: a housing including a first aperture; a first driver unit disposed in the housing; a partition wall dividing an internal space of the housing into a first space and a second space, the first space communicating with an external space through the first aperture and containing the first driver unit; and a second driver unit attached to the partition wall.
HEARING AIDS AND RELATED DEVICES AND METHODS
A hearing aid includes a microphone, an electro-acoustic transducer, and a housing that supports the electro-acoustic transducer such that the housing and the electro-acoustic transducer together define a first acoustic volume and a second acoustic volume. The electro-acoustic transducer is arranged such that a first radiating surface of the transducer radiates acoustic energy into the front acoustic volume and such that a second radiating surface of the transducer radiates acoustic energy into the second acoustic volume. The hearing aid is configured such that the first and second acoustic volumes are acoustically coupled to the microphone when the hearing aid is worn. The housing supports an acoustic element that is acoustically coupled to the microphone and the second acoustic volume and is arranged such that acoustic energy radiated from the acoustic element sums with acoustic energy leaked from the first acoustic volume at the microphone so as to cancel each other.
