A method of predictive design of an earpiece for a user, includes: obtaining 3D scan data of an ear; obtaining a model earpiece with an earpiece configuration based on an analysis of the 3D scan data; determining coupling data indicative of a coupling of the model earpiece; evaluating the earpiece configuration based on the coupling data; and providing a personalized earpiece based on an output of the evaluation.

Device and method for earpiece design

A hearing device includes: an earpiece having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the earpiece is configured for insertion into an ear canal of a user, and wherein at least a part of the earpiece is configured for placement along a first bend of the ear canal; wherein the earpiece comprises a flexible member, at least a part of the flexible member located at the first end of the earpiece, wherein at least a part of the flexible member is configured for placement along a second bend of the ear canal located between the first bend and an eardrum.

Hearing devices and methods of making the same

An earpiece includes: a first portion configured for placement in an ear canal, the first portion having an asymmetrical configuration; wherein the first portion is configured to exhibit a first property in a first state in response to a stimulus, and to exhibit a second property in a second state in an absence of the stimulus; and wherein the first portion is elastically compressible when the first portion is in the first state and the second state. A hearing device includes: a component configured to provide an output; and an earpiece having a first portion configured to change shape or a material property in response to the output provided by the component.

Configurable hearing devices

A acoustic device includes a pinna replica, wherein an inner surface of the pinna replica faces the exterior so that exterior sounds are received by the pinna replica and a microphone unit for collecting said exterior sounds, said microphone unit being configured to emit a first electric signal comprising information on the collected exterior sounds.

Acoustic device

A acoustic device includes a supra-aural ear cup, a pinna replica at least partially enclosed by the supra-aural ear cup, wherein an inner surface of the pinna replica faces the exterior so that exterior sounds are received by the pinna replica and a microphone unit for collecting said exterior sounds, said microphone unit being configured to emit a first electric signal comprising information on the collected exterior sounds.
