The first hearing device, the second hearing device and the hearing device charger may be respectively configured such that the first hearing device will be magnetically attracted to the hearing device charger in response to the first hearing device being positioned at the first charge location, the first hearing device will be magnetically repelled by the hearing device charger in response to the first hearing device being positioned at the second charge location, the second hearing device will be magnetically attracted to the hearing device charger in response to the second hearing device being positioned at the second charge location, and the second hearing device will be magnetically repelled by the hearing device charger in response to the second hearing device being positioned at the first charge location.
METHOD FOR PROVIDING VISUAL MARKINGS ON A CONNECTOR FOR A HEARING DEVICE
A method of providing a custom visual marking on a earing device includes: providing a hearing device comprising a behind-the-ear (BTE) component, an in-the-ear (ITE) component, and a connector having a proximal end connected to the ITE component and a distal end connected to the BTE component, the connector comprising a flexible member extending between the proximal and distal ends; arranging the BTE component behind the ear of the user, and arranging the ITE component in the ear canal of the user so that the connector has a covered portion inserted in the ear canal and an exposed portion outside the ear canal; and providing a visual marking on the connector, wherein the visual marking distinguishes the covered portion from the exposed portion. Further disclosed is a connector and a hearing device.
Apparatus for manipulation of ear devices
Disclosed herein are apparatuses for manipulation of an ear device within the ear canal of a subject. Also disclosed herein are methods of using said apparatuses for the insertion, removal, or other manipulations of the ear device. Also disclosed herein are methods of making the apparatuses, and kits containing the apparatus with instructions for use.
Earplug with wireless audio communication
An earplug includes a housing and a receiver positioned in the housing. The receiver may be configured to receive a wireless audio signal from an audio source external to the earplug and convert the wireless audio signal to an electrical audio signal. The earplug may include a speaker configured to receive electrical audio signal from the receiver and convert the electrical audio signal into audible sound output from a speaker port. The earplug may include a projection including an opening that defines at least a portion of a sound channel from the speaker. The projection may receive the audible sound output from the speaker and output the audible sound out of the earplug. The earplug may include earplug padding configured to form a seal with a user's ear canal. The earplug may include an acoustic vent positioned in the sound channel, including a waterproof membrane extending across the channel.

CHARGING METHOD AND SYSTEM, CHARGING BOX, AND BLUETOOTH EARPHONES
A charging method and system, a charging box and Bluetooth earphones are disclosed. The charging method is applied to the charging box, and comprises: acquiring a communication data packet of Bluetooth earphones according to a preset communication frequency when the charging box is charging the Bluetooth earphones, wherein the communication data packet includes a current battery voltage of the Bluetooth earphones (S10); determining a target charging voltage according to the current battery voltage (S20); and charging the Bluetooth earphones based on the target charging voltage (S30). The charging method can realize the dynamic adjustment of the charging voltage, reduce the energy loss of the charging box during the charging process, thereby increasing the number of times that the charging box can charge the Bluetooth earphones and improving the battery life of the Bluetooth earphones.
CHARGING BOX
The present disclosure relates to a charging box, comprising a box body, a box cover, a battery, a charging assembly and a circuit assembly. The box body is internally provided with a product cabin for accommodating a product; the box cover is arranged at an opening of the box body; the battery is arranged in the box body; the charging assembly comprises a magnet pendulum bob and a coil structure arranged around it, wherein a first end of the magnet pendulum bob is rotatably connected with the box body and a second end is a free end; and the circuit assembly is electrically connected with the coil structure and the battery. Therefore, by arranging the charging box in a special shape, the coil structure may cut a magnetic field of the magnet pendulum bob to generate induced current to charge the charging box so as to increase endurance.
