Abstract

Aspects describe a nozzle including a first flexible portion and a second rigid portion. The rigid portion is less flexible than the flexible portion. When positioned in a user's ear, the flexible portion extends a section of the earbud housing towards an ear canal of a user and the rigid portion couples a removable sealing structure to the earbud housing. In aspects, the flexible portion provides comfort by allowing a sealing structure to flex and accommodate a wearer's ear and the rigid portion provides structure for the feedback microphone to be placed close to the user's ear canal for ANR.
