Abstract
A wearable hearing device operatively coupled to an information handling system comprising a housing for a speaker and a microphone, a magnetic slider switch moveable with respect to the housing between a closed position and an open position in response to a user's external force, a rolling magnet rotating within the magnetic slider switch during movement between the open and closed positions, a bar magnet fixed within the housing having a first pole attracting the rolling magnet in the closed position and a second pole attracting the rolling magnet in the open position to reduce the external force required to move the magnetic slider switch, a hall effect sensor to sense a change in distance to the rolling magnet during movement between the open and closed positions, and to associate the change in distance with a command instruction, and a microcontroller to execute or transmit the command instruction.
