A personal hearing device with an outer housing and a sound path with a length of 1-24 mm, a diameter of 0.5-6 mm, a roll of frequency of at least 500 Hz and with a valve configured to open and close the sound path. The sound path has suitable acoustical properties to act as a sound passage for open/closed hearing aids or hearables. The valve is selected to have a small influence on the acoustical properties of the remaining portions of the sound path.

Personal hearing device

A sound channel with a side opening which may be opened or closed by an electromagnetic actuator. The sound channel may remain open and may thus be used as a spout of a sound generator for e.g. a hearing aid, where the side opening may be used as a vent.

Sound channel element with a valve and a transducer with the sound channel element

A sound channel with a valve positioned in a sound channel, the valve based on an electro-magnetic positioned in a housing positioned in the sound channel without sound travelling through the housing. The valve may be used in hearing devices.

Valve, a transducer comprising a valve, a hearing device and a method

An ear bud or cone having multiple protruding, convex and soft elements which are configured to be deformed during insertion, extraction and operation in the ear canal of a person. The soft elements are cushion shaped and thus able to adapt to any shape of the ear canal without exerting excessive force to portions of the ear canal.

Ear bud or dome

A dome for a personal audio device. The dome forms a first flexible circumferential member and comprising a guiding structure extending in a longitudinal direction and forming an interface for guiding sound from or to the personal audio device. The guiding structure comprises a least one sound opening configured for passage of sound from or to the personal audio device in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the guiding structure. The first flexible member is configured to at least partly close the sound opening during insertion of the dome into an ear canal of a user.
