A hearing device sizer tool in accordance with at least one of the present inventions includes a shaft defining a medial end and a lateral end, and an in-the-canal (ITC) hearing device seal associated with the medial end of the shaft. A hearing device sizer tool system in accordance with at least one of the present inventions includes a plurality of hearing device sizer tools with differently sized ITC hearing device seals.

Canal hearing device sizer tools, systems and methods

A hearing device seal module in accordance with at least one of the present inventions includes a tubular seal carrier defining a lumen configured to receive a hearing device core and including a connector region and a resilient seal support region formed from resilient material, a seal carrier support connected to the seal carrier connector region of the tubular seal carrier, including a support tube defining a longitudinal axis and a lumen configured to permit movement of the hearing device core and a tool along the longitudinal axis, and having an open state and a closed state.

Hearing device seal modules, modular hearing devices including the same and associated methods

A hearing device including a housing, a receiver within the housing, and a contaminant guard having a guard sound port and one or both of an outer contaminant receptacle, which is located outward of the guard sound port and that extends around the guard sound port, and an inner contaminant receptacle, which that is located on the central axis of the guard sound port and operably connected to a location outward of the guard sound port.

Canal hearing devices with sound port contaminant guards

Hearing device housing blanks and methods of making hearing device housings that store energy.

Hearing device housings that store energy and methods of making the same

A hearing device seal module for use with a hearing device core including a tubular seal carrier defining a lumen configured for passage of the hearing device core and including a resilient seal support region formed from resilient material and configured to receive the hearing device core, a seal carrier support configured to hold at least a portion of the resilient seal support region open during an insertion of the hearing device core, and a first seal secured to a first portion of the seal support region and extending outwardly therefrom.
