A hearing device has a housing in which a receiver is arranged as an electrical component. An antenna arrangement is formed, which has a winding in the form of a coil, which is arranged around the receiver with the interposition of a shielding foil. The shielding foil has a section extending around the receiver and several lugs adjoining it, which project beyond the receiver, the lugs enclosing between them an interspace adjoining the receiver. The shielding foil has in particular two layers, namely a magnetic layer and an electrical shielding layer. By this arrangement an antenna arrangement with high sensitivity is formed and at the same time a shielded partial area is created in the inter-space in which further components can be arranged. Due to the design of the lugs, which are particularly flexible, they can be attached to an inner wall of a housing.

An ear-wearable electronic device includes a shell having a uniquely-shaped outer surface that corresponds uniquely to an ear geometry of a user of the ear-wearable device. The device includes an elongated sensor assembly. A mounting bridge is formed integrally with the shell and has a mounting surface that supports the elongated sensor assembly. An elongated void is in the shell that exposes the mounting surface of the mounting bridge. The shell includes an access void that extends from the inner surface to the outer surface of the shell near a first end of the mounting bridge. The access void is larger than a minor cross section of the elongated sensor assembly such that the elongated sensor assembly is able to pass through the access void and be held against the mounting surface.

The present disclosure relates to a speaker device. The speaker device may include a core housing, a circuit housing, an ear hook, and a housing sheath. The circuit housing may be configured to accommodate a control circuit or a battery. The control circuit or the battery may be configured to drive an earphone core to vibrate to generate a sound. The core housing may be configured to accommodate the earphone core. The core housing may include a housing front panel facing a human body and a housing rear panel opposite to the housing front panel. The earphone core may be configured to cause the housing front panel and the housing rear panel to vibrate. Vibration of the housing front panel may have a first phase, and vibration of the housing rear panel may have a second phase. An absolute value of a difference between the first phase and the second phase may be less than 60 degrees when a frequency of each of the vibration of the housing front panel and the vibration of the housing rear panel is within a range between 2000 Hz and 3000 Hz. The ear hook may be configured to connect the core housing and the circuit housing. The housing sheath may at least partially cover the circuit housing and the ear hook. The housing sheath may be made of a waterproof material. The waterproof effect of a speaker device may be improved through sealed connections between various components of the speaker device in this the present disclosure.

A method of manufacturing a faceplate for a hearing device, the faceplate configured to cover a lateral opening of a housing of the hearing device and having a side which is laterally oriented when the hearing device is worn at least partially in the ear canal, including the steps of: providing a faceplate base part including a first surface, a faceplate insertion part including a second surface, and a printed circuit board (“PCB”) with an antenna; inserting the antenna PCB into the faceplate base part so that that the antenna PCB extends along the first surface; inserting the faceplate insertion part into the faceplate base part so that the second surface of the faceplate insertion part pushes the antenna PCB against the first surface of the faceplate base part; and fixing the faceplate insertion part within the faceplate base part so as to form the faceplate.

The disclosure relates to a hearing aid for placement in an ear canal, the hearing aid having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end is inserted into the ear canal to face the tympanic membrane, the distal end is opposite. The hearing aid comprises a shell customized for the ear canal. The shell comprises an inner space configured for at least partly receiving a rechargeable battery, a charging arrangement, at least one microphone arrangement, and an integrated circuit. The hearing aid comprises a faceplate comprising an upper face and a lower face, the upper face being exposed at the distal end when the shell is placed in the user's ear canal. The faceplate is configured for closing the inner space, wherein the IC is arranged between the faceplate and the proximal end.

Embodiments of the present invent include a method of controlling unwanted vibration in a tympanic lens, wherein the tympanic lens comprises a perimeter platform connected to a microactuator through at least one biasing element, the method comprising the step of: damping the motion of the at least one biasing element. In embodiments of the invention, the at least one biasing element is a spring. In embodiments of the invention, the at least one bias spring is coated in a damping material.

A hearing instrument charger device for charging an individually shaped hearing instrument, includes: a charger casing; a charger power supply within the charger casing; a first charger coil connected to the charger power supply; charger electronics for controlling charging of the hearing instrument; and a holder configured for receiving the hearing instrument, the holder located within the charger casing; wherein the holder for the hearing instrument has a shape that is specific for the individually shaped hearing instrument, such that when the individually shaped hearing instrument is received in the holder, a second charger coil of the individually shaped hearing instrument is in an operative position for receiving charging power from the first charger coil of the hearing instrument charger device.

A hearing aid comprises a microphone on a proximal side of a device housing and a loudspeaker which via a transmission channel is in open communication with a sound-emitting opening of the device. A sound processing device serves to generate sound received by the microphone to the loudspeaker in amplified form. The device housing is provided on a distal side with an optionally sealed battery chamber for receiving a battery therein. The transmission channel is at least almost wholly separated from the microphone acoustically in order to prevent acoustic feedback. The battery chamber comprises ventilation means for the purpose of increasing the lifespan of the battery.

A hearing device and related methods are disclosed. The hearing device comprises a housing comprising a wall, a microphone inlet comprising a through-going opening, a microphone arranged within the housing for receiving audio via the microphone inlet, a first filter device comprising a first filter material, the first filter device being arranged at the microphone, and a second filter device substantially having the shape of a torus or a hollow cylinder and comprising a second filter material, the second filter device being arranged at the wall, wherein the first filter device is arranged between the microphone and the second filter device, and wherein the through-going opening comprises an outer recess in an outer surface of the wall, wherein the second filter device is arranged in the outer recess.

A standard attachment for a standard earpiece insertable into an ear canal in a direction of insertion, by which, compared to customary attachments, an improved adaptation of the corresponding standard earpiece to an ear canal is achieved, and therefore improved audio perception, and also improved wearing comfort of the respective hearing aid is ensured. The standard attachment contains a headpiece at one end and, adjoining the latter, a wing portion. The outer contour of the headpiece is configured to allow the headpiece to bear on the wall of the ear canal at several points or on several lines.
