Abstract
The disclosure relates to in-ear electronic devices. According to one aspect, the in-ear electronic device comprises a housing shaped to be inserted into an ear canal of a human, a set of electrodes configured to sense electrical signals when the housing is inserted into the ear canal, an antenna, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, an audio transducer, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to provide an audio signal to the audio transducer based on an input RF signal received on the antenna, wherein the audio transducer plays the audio signal into the ear canal. The control circuit is configured to form an output signal based on one or more electrical signals from the set of electrodes. The control circuit is configured to passively backscatter the input RF signal on the antenna based on the output signal to wirelessly transmit the output signal.
