The present invention relates to an acoustical assembly adapted to be inserted into an ear canal, said acoustical assembly comprising a receiver unit adapted to generate sound pressure waves, a microphone unit adapted to detect sound pressure waves inside the ear canal when the acoustical assembly is inserted in the ear canal, and a nozzle comprising a receiver unit mount adapted to house at least part of the receiver unit, wherein the nozzle comprises at least one sound channel adapted to guide generated sound pressure waves from a receiver unit outlet to at least one sound outlet opening of the nozzle, and wherein the nozzle further comprises a microphone unit mount adapted to house at least part of the microphone unit. The present invention further relates to a hearing device comprising an acoustical assembly.

Microphone unit arranged on top of receiver unit nozzle

A hearing device comprising a leading sealing element and a trailing receiver and valve, wherein in a longitudinal direction of the hearing device the valve is more distant from the sealing element than the receiver, and wherein the receiver and the valve each are unitary items that are separate from each other, and that the receiver and the valve are connected to each other by a flexible interlink.

Hearing device

The present invention relates to a micro-electromechanical transducer comprising a pressure detection arrangement and a sub-assembly adapted to cooperate with the pressure detection arrangement via a coupling volume, said sub-assembly comprising one or more moveable masses, a suspension member suspending a number of moveable masses, wherein the coupling volume is at least partly defined by the suspension member, and wherein the coupling volume is acoustically connected to an interior volume of the pressure detection arrangement, and wherein the suspension member comprises a viscoelastic material with a predetermined viscous and sealant behaviour in order to dampen one or more resonance peaks of the micro-electromechanical transducer and acoustically seal the coupling volume. The present invention further relates to a hearing device comprising such a micro-electromechanical transducer.

Micro-electromechanical transducer with suspended mass

An assembly of at least one radiation detector, at least one radiation emitter and a housing configured to be positioned inside the ear canal of a person or animal, the detector(s) and emitter(s) being provided in or on the housing, the emitter(s) being configured to emit radiation away from the housing and the detector(s) being configured to receive radiation directed toward the housing. No overlap may be provided between the field of view of the radiation detector(s) and the emitter(s), such as by providing a blocking element.

Housing comprising a sensor

The present invention relates to a vibration sensor comprising a pressure generating element for generating pressure differences between a first and a second volume in response to vibrations of the vibration sensor, the first and second volumes being acoustically sealed from each other, and a pressure transducer for measuring pressure differences between the first and second volumes. The present invention also relates to an associated method for detecting vibrations.

Vibration sensor

A micro-electromechanical transducer including one or more moveable members, and a viscoelastic substance having a predetermined viscoelasticity, the viscoelastic substance being adapted to influence the response of the transducer in a predetermined manner. The micro-electromechanical transducer of the present invention may include a MEMS transducer, such as a MEMS microphone, a MEMS vibration sensor, a MEMS acceleration sensor, a MEMS receiver.

Micro-electromechanical transducer

An assembly of a sound generator having a sound output, a spout connected to the receiver, the spout having a sound channel having a first opening connected to the sound output and a second opening from which sound may be output. The spout has one or more third openings blocked by fastening portions of a dome, and a sensor positioned in the sound channel at the third opening(s). Sound may pass the sensor in the sound channel while travelling in the third opening(s). The assembly may be a personal hearing instrument and the sensor may be a microphone.

Assembly comprising a sensor in a spout

A personal hearing device with a first dome, a receiver, a speaker channel extending from the receiver through the dome to a speaker channel output, an acoustic vent channel extending from outside of the receiver and through the dome, where an acoustic separation is provided between the speaker channel output and the vent opening to reduce the amount of sound output by the receiver entering the vent channel.

Reduced feedback in valve-ric assembly

A vibration sensor having a moveable mass adapted to move in response to vibrations or accelerations. The sensor includes a damping arrangement that includes a damping fluid or gel. The moveable mass is arranged to interact directly or indirectly with the damping fluid or gel in order to reduce a mechanical resonance peak of the vibration sensor. The damping fluid or gel has a viscosity between 1000 cP and 100000 Cp and damping properties that are substantially stable over time.

Vibration sensor for a portable device including a damping arrangement to reduce mechanical resonance peak of sensor

An assembly of a receiver and a microphone, such as for positioning in an ear canal of a person. The receiver and microphone are provided in an overlapping relationship to take up less space while being able to emit sound in one direction and receive sound from that direction. When the assembly if for use deep inside the ear canal of a person, the microphone may be very small, as it is exposed to very high sound levels.

Assembly of a receiver and a microphone

A vibration sensor comprising a pressure detecting arrangement adapted to detect generated pressure variations, and provide an output signal in response to the detected pressure variations, and a pressure generating arrangement adapted to generate pressure variations in response to movements thereof wherein the pressure generating arrangement is secured to an exterior surface portion of the pressure detecting arrangement. In a preferred embodiment the pressure detecting arrangement comprises a stand-alone and self-contained MEMS microphone unit comprising a MEMS microphone cartridge and a signal processing unit.
