  • Patent number: 10687148
    Abstract: An assembly of a transformer and an electrostatic sound generator is especially efficient if the resonance frequency of the diaphragm is in the frequency range in which the generator is operated, such as in the interval of 1-20 kHz. Then, a smaller transformer with a winding ratio of 5000 or less may be used for feeding the sound generator, making the assembly suitable for hearing aid purposes or in-ear products such as for pro audio use.

  • Patent number: 9888326
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transducer comprising a housing, a first and a second diaphragm, and a first and a second signal provider. The housing comprises an inner surface. The first and second diaphragms are positioned in the housing. The first and second diaphragms define a common compartment being delimited by at least both a part of the inner surface and the first and second diaphragms. The first signal provider is configured to convert movement of the first diaphragm into a first signal. The second signal provider is configured to convert movement of the second diaphragm into a second signal. The transducer can be used in a hearing aid.
