A hearing device includes: an earpiece having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the earpiece is configured for insertion into an ear canal of a user, and wherein at least a part of the earpiece is configured for placement along a first bend of the ear canal; wherein the earpiece comprises a flexible member, at least a part of the flexible member located at the first end of the earpiece, wherein at least a part of the flexible member is configured for placement along a second bend of the ear canal located between the first bend and an eardrum.

An earpiece is provided. The earpiece can deform flexibly so as to follow the earhole when in use, and the earpiece can be manufactured easily. An earpiece includes an earpiece body and a filler filled in the earpiece body. The earpiece body has a container-like base member formed of a rubber-like elastic diaphragm that is shaped like a container and has an opening portion. The earpiece body also has a lid member that seals the opening portion liquid-tightly. The filler is flowable at room temperature.

An earpiece including an intra-auricular support, a projection element coupled thereto, and a flexible body disposed thereon and inside an external ear canal of an ear, and a moldable earpiece material moldable about the intra-auricular support to conform to the auricle of an ear and curable to provide a fixed configuration of the earpiece.

Systems and methods for assisting user with hearing by amplifying sound using an amplifier with gain and amplitude controls for a plurality of frequencies; and applying a learning machine to identify an aural environment and adjust the amplifiers for optimum hearing.

An ear-wearable electronic device includes a shell with a cable retention slot. The cable entrance slot has an interior end and an exterior end. A bend surface extends from the exterior end of the cable retention slot to an exterior surface of the shell. The bend surface aligned with a crux of a user’s ear when the ear-wearable device is installed in an ear of the user’s ear. The shell may include a uniquely-shaped outer surface that corresponds uniquely to an ear geometry of the user of the ear-wearable device.

The disclosure relates to a device for preparing an earpiece for its customization, the device including an energy release unit comprising a receiving chamber for receiving the earpiece and configured to release energy into the receiving chamber. The disclosure further relates to a system for customizing an earpiece comprising the earpiece and the preparing device.

A method and system of traversing a device through an accommodating conduit to reach a target area within the accommodating conduit can include varying an amount of elasticity of the device or an amount of torsion moment of the device applied to the accommodating conduit or varying both to minimize bending forces as the device traverses the accommodating conduit. The method or system upon reaching the target area within the accommodating conduit, can further include varying the elasticity or the torsion moment of the device or varying both to cause the device to stiffen. Other embodiments are disclosed.

In a method for adapting an otoplastic of a hearing aid, a flexible outer shell is provided which is made of a material that can be cured, but has not yet been cured. A housing interior is sealed at the end facing the eardrum and at the opposite end. The housing interior is connected to a pressure and curing facilitator via a pressure inlet opening. The outer shell is introduced into the ear canal of the hearing aid wearer, and an inner pressure with an increased inner pressure value is applied to the housing interior via the pressure and curing facilitator such that the outer shell lies against the ear canal wall. The hardening process of the curable material is then initiated via the pressure and curing facilitator while maintaining the inner pressure value.
