Abstract
An ear-wearable electronic device comprises a shell having a uniquely-shaped outer surface that corresponds uniquely to an ear geometry of a wearer of the device. The shell comprises a window through a proximal portion of the shell and positioned at ear canal tissue when the device is deployed in the wearer's ear. An optical sensor, such as a photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor, is disposed in the window. A biasing member has a uniquely-shaped outer surface that corresponds uniquely to a geometry of at least a portion of a pinna of the wearer's ear. The biasing member is configured to generate a biasing force sufficient to maintain static positioning of the optical sensor relative to the ear canal tissue during wearer body and jaw movement.
