An anatomical manometry catheter system, comprising a plurality of balloons on the distal end and being configured to be inflatable and/or deflatable. The system includes a connector assembly coaxially aligned with the catheter assembly, the connector assembly being connectable to the proximal end of the catheter. The connector assembly may have a connector interface connected to the proximal end of the catheter. The connector assembly may include a manifold comprising a plurality of channels configured to deliver the pressure transmission medium therethrough toward a respective catheter lumen for inflating one or more balloons. The connector assembly may include a charging mechanism fluidly coupled to the catheter that facilitates inflating each balloon of the plurality of balloons by a common actuating mechanism so as to simultaneously charge each balloon of the plurality of balloons.

Multi-channel catheter connection for anatomical manometry

A method of manufacturing a hearing device housing including at least one opening. The method includes the steps of: designing a pre-model of the hearing device housing by 3D-modelling software, the pre-model including a protective structure covering the opening, the protective structure being prepared for removal; producing a preform of the hearing device housing based on the pre-model; and removing the protective structure thus providing the hearing device housing with the opening.

The present invention relates to a method of sealing a module () in a hearing device housing. The method comprises the steps of preparing the module () and the hearing device housing, and applying a sealing material () into a space, said space being formed between the module () and the hearing device housing.

Method of sealing a module and a hearing device

A module of a hearing device is removably connectable with a housing of the hearing device, the module being prepared for insertion of a removal tool. The module includes at least two side walls opposing each other. The side walls are provided with a first engagement means, and the side walls are deformable such to allow engagement of the first engagement means and a second engagement means formed on an anchoring portion of the removal tool.

The present invention provides a hearing device () for being worn at least partly within an ear canal of a user of the hearing device (), the hearing device () comprising a shell () with a wall and an opening (), wherein the wall has a rim () at the opening (), and wherein the wall is thickened along at least part of the rim (). Furthermore, a method for manufacturing such a hearing device () is specified, especially comprising determining an area of a bonding surface () at the rim () for bonding a face plate () to the shell at the opening ().

Hearing device for being worn at least partly within an ear canal and a method for manufacturing such a hearing device

A shell () for a hearing device, and a method of producing the same. The shell () comprises a sub-shell () produced by a generative method, and a thermoformed hull () covering the subshell (). The sub-shell () comprises lateral openings () covered by the thermoformed hull () so as to render the shell () more flexible in the region of the openings (), and thereby to relieve pressure exerted by the shell () due to dynamic changes in the shape of the wearer's ear canal during jaw movement.
