A diaphragm with a hinge portion and a drive portion and a plurality of oblong frame portions between the hinge portion and drive portion. The oblong frame portions are able to vibrate independently of each other and may have different resonance frequencies.

Diaphragm, a sound generator, a hearing device and a method

A receiver-in-canal (RIC) assembly for positioning in or at an ear canal of a user. The RIC assembly includes a housing having an opening between an exterior space outside the housing and an internal space inside the housing, and a cable connection located in the housing and facilitating connection of a cable to the RIC assembly. Furthermore, the RIC assembly includes a first diaphragm extending in a first plane in the housing, and a first motor electrically connected to the cable connection and operatively connected to the first diaphragm. The cable connection is located relative to the first diaphragm such that at least a part of it can be projected onto a movable part of the first diaphragm in a direction perpendicular to the first plane and where the cable connection means is located in continuation of the first motor in a plane parallel to the first plane.

Receiver-in-canal assembly comprising a diaphragm and a cable connection

The present invention provides a receiver assembly comprising a receiver and an assembly housing. The receiver comprises a sound outlet configured to outlet sound from the receiver. The receiver is arranged at least partly within the assembly housing. The assembly housing comprises an assembly sound outlet. The sound outlet is arranged in communication with the assembly sound outlet for outlet of sound from the receiver via the assembly sound outlet. A vibration dampening element connects the sound outlet and the assembly sound outlet. The vibration dampening element is formed by an elastic foil and is compliant to reduce vibrations from the receiver to the assembly housing.

Receiver assembly

The present invention is a receiver that includes electronics for converting an input audio signal to an output acoustic signal. The receiver has a housing for containing at least a portion of the electronics. The housing includes a port for broadcasting the output acoustic signal. A suspension system is coupled to the housing for dampening vibrations of the housing. In one preferred embodiment, the suspension system includes three resilient contact structures for contacting a surrounding structure in which the receiver is placed. The contact structures are positioned at specific locations to provide variable dampening levels. In another embodiment, the dampening is provided by a low-viscosity, gel-like material positioned between the housing and the surrounding structure.
