An ITE hearing instrumentality, for use in an ear canal, that includes a housing, a receiver located within the housing, an earpiece on the housing that is configured to mount the housing within the ear canal, and at least one biometric sensor on the earpiece.

Hearing devices including biometric sensors and associated methods

Systems and methods for two-way communication with a hearing device are disclosed. In one embodiment, an accessory for communication with a hearing device includes an acoustic filter, and a microphone configured as an acoustic receiver (RX) for acoustic signals from a speaker of the hearing device via the acoustic filter. The acoustic filter is configured to operate at at least one resonance frequency. The accessory is in acoustic and magnetic communication with the hearing device.

Method and apparatus for in-ear acoustic readout of data from a hearing instrument

This invention relates to a device for insertion of a deep-in-the-canal hearing aid&#x2014;alternatively designatable as extended wear hearing aid&#x2014;into an ear canal of an individual user, at a pre-determined insertion depth (d) thereof. The insertion device comprises a customized support comprising an outer profile conforming to the shapes of at least a portion of a conchal cavity and of an ear canal of said individual user; and a guide channel, disposed internal to said outer profile, extending between a lateral entry opening thereof, for loading said hearing aid; and a medial exit opening thereof, for releasing said hearing aid into said ear canal. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing an insertion device for inserting a hearing aid deep into an ear canal of an individual hearing aid user, at a pre-determined insertion depth (d) thereof.

Customized device for insertion of a deep-cana hearing aid and a method for manufacturing and using such an insertion device

The present invention proposes a hearing device with a housing and a receiver module which comprises a shell () with a cavity having an opening (), wherein at least part of the shell () forms part of the housing, and wherein an electro-acoustic transducer, comprising a motor assembly () and an acoustic assembly () including a membrane, is arranged within the cavity, the acoustic assembly () being disposed within the shell () such that the cavity is divided into a front chamber () and a back chamber (), the motor assembly () being disposed within the back chamber () or the front chamber () and being operatively coupled to the membrane, and the front chamber () being in acoustic communication with the exterior of the shell () via the opening (), wherein the shell () has an outer surface individually shaped according to a measured inner shape of a section of an ear canal of a user of the hearing device. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing such a receiver module is presented.

The present invention provides a tip-plate assembly for arrangement at a proximal end portion of a hearing device to be worn at least partially within an ear canal such that said proximal end portion faces towards an ear drum. Said tip-plate assembly comprises a tip-plate () having a seating aperture (), a receiver module () having a sound output port () at a front end (), and a suspension element (). Said suspension element () at least partly envelopes said receiver module () at said front end () and said receiver module () is mounted in said seating aperture () by means of said suspension element (). Said tip-plate assembly may further comprise a microphone module (). Moreover, a hearing device comprising such a tip-plate assembly is given, and a method of manufacturing a hearing device comprising such a tip-plate assembly is proposed.
