Hearing aid devices, methods of manufacture, methods of use, and kits are provided. In certain aspects, the hearing aid devices comprise an apparatus having a transducer and a retention structure comprising a shape profile corresponding to a tissue of the user, and a layer of elastomer.

Contact hearing device and retention structure materials

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a microactuator including using (i) an ingress membrane mounting ring adhesive positioned on an ingress membrane mounting surface to mount an ingress membrane and (ii) a flexible encapsulation shield mounted on a support band and extending over the ingress membrane mounting ring and (iii) a first reed adhesive connecting the ingress membrane to a microactuator reed at an ingress membrane reed opening and (iv) a second reed adhesive positioned on and covering the first reed adhesive, the second reed adhesive extending from the ingress membrane to the microactuator reed.

Tympanic lens for hearing device with reduced fluid ingress

In embodiments of the invention, the invention comprises a light tip cable including a cartridge assembly affixed to a medial end of the cable, the cartridge assembly including an emitter housing where the emitter housing includes an opening at a medial end of the housing and a flange at a lateral end of the housing. In embodiments of the invention, the cartridge assembly includes a light emitting element in the housing extending to the opening, retention features covering at least a portion of the housing, including the flange, the retention features comprising a lateral face and a lobe and at least one load bearing strand extending from the cable to the emitter; and electrical connectors extending from the cable to the light emitting element.

Hearing aid connector

In embodiments of the invention, the present invention is directed to a contact hearing system, the contact hearing system including: an ear tip, the ear tip including a transmit coil wherein the transmit coil is wound around a core including, at least in part, a ferromagnetic material; and a contact hearing device including a receive coil wherein the receive coil is wound around a core including, at least in part, a non-ferromagnetic material.

Systems, methods and devices for creating an effect using microwave energy to specified tissue are disclosed herein. A system for the application of microwave energy to a tissue can include, in some embodiments, a signal generator adapted to generate a microwave signal having predetermined characteristics, an applicator connected to the generator and adapted to apply microwave energy to tissue, the applicator comprising one or more microwave antennas and a tissue interface, a vacuum source connected to the tissue interface, a cooling source connected to said tissue interface, and a controller adapted to control the signal generator, the vacuum source, and the coolant source. The tissue may include a first layer and a second layer, the second layer below the first layer, and the controller is configured such that the system delivers energy such that a peak power loss density profile is created in the second layer.

Systems and methods for creating an effect using microwave energy to specified tissue

The present invention is directed to systems, apparatus, methods and procedures for the noninvasive treatment of tissue using microwave energy. In one embodiment of the invention a medical device and associated apparatus and procedures are used to treat dermatological conditions using microwave energy.

Systems, apparatus, methods and procedures for the noninvasive treatment of tissue using microwave energy

A radio frequency generator and pump apparatus for cooled ablation for ablating tissue in the wall of the heart of a patient. An ablation catheter comprising a flexible elongate member has proximal and distal extremities. An ablation electrode. is carried by the distal extremity. An electrical conductor is carried by the flexible elongate member and is coupled to the ablation electrode. A radio frequency generator is coupled to the electrical conductor. The flexible elongate member has a liquid carrying lumen extending from the proximal extremity to the distal extremity and opens into the cavity of the ablation electrode. A pump is coupled to the liquid lumen for supplying a cooling liquid to the lumen and to the ablation electrode. An automatic control apparatus controls the operation of the radio frequency generator and the pump to supply precooling, cooling and post-cooling to the ablation electrode to maintain the ablation electrode at a temperature to prevent excessive heating of the ablation electrode and the surrounding cardiac tissue.
