Patent number: 11297444Abstract: The invention concerns a hearing aid system that comprises an ear canal member comprising a sensor arrangement. The sensor arrangement comprises at least one surface electrode located at a surface of said ear canal member to allow said at least one surface electrode to contact the skin of a user when said ear canal member is operationally mounted on the user. The at least one surface electrode (150) is adapted to pick up a low voltage electric signal from the user's skin. The sensor arrangement further comprises a light sensor (180) located at a surface of said housing to allow emitting light through skin proximate to the light sensor (180) and capturing reflected and/or scattered light when said ear canal member is operationally mounted on the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Oticon A/SInventors: Thomas Lunner, Tanveer Bhuiyan, Ariane Laplante-Lévesque, José Antonio Esparza Isasa, Sergi Rotger Griful
