Abstract: Embodiments presented herein are generally directed to a protective sleeve for an external component of a hearing prosthesis.

Abstract: A device, including a behind-the-ear (BTE) device ear interface fixture, the fixture including a loop portion configured to enable a pinna of a recipient to be inserted there through and an attachment portion configured to removably attach the fixture to a BTE electronics module and/or a BTE battery, wherein the inner perimeter of the loop portion is non-circular when the loop portion is in a relaxed state.

Abstract: An ear hook apparatus, including an ear hook tip, an ear hook chassis, and a male connector, wherein the ear hook apparatus is configured such that the male connector attaches to one or more components of a BTE device at and/or below a base of a BTE electronics module of the BTE device.

Abstract: Embodiments presented herein are generally directed to a protective sleeve for an external component of a hearing prosthesis. The protective sleeve comprises a base plug configured to be inserted into a main body. The main body and base plug are each primarily formed from a substantially flexible material and each comprises one or more substantially rigid members. When the base plug is inserted into the main body the substantially rigid members operate to deform a portion of substantially flexible material forming part of the main body or base plug to seal the base plug to the main body.

Abstract: An In-The-Ear (ITE) device is disclosed. This ITE is adapted for connection to a cable from a Behind-The-Ear (BTE) device, the ITE device including a releasable mechanical retention device for the cable, such that the cable may be customized in length and may be attached to the retention device.

Abstract: An implantable device having an impact side likely to receive forces applied to the device is disclosed, the device comprising: a hermetically-sealed container including, a chassis having secure thereto at least one functional component, a first shell hermetically connected to the chassis to form a hermetic enclosure in which the at least one functional component is located, at least on feedthrough disposed in one or more of either the chassis and the first shell, configured to permit at least one input/output line to infiltrate the hermetic enclosure; and a second shell connected to the container so as to be spaced from and adjacent to the container to define the impact side of the device and to form with the container a non-hermetic enclosure.

Abstract: The present invention provides an implant device comprising a shell and a printed circuit board for mounting electronic components, wherein the shell surrounds the printed circuit board and defines a large area for large electronic components mounted on the printed circuit board and a small area for smaller electronic components. The shell has a shape that is curved. The shell may consist of two layers, with one layer being thicker. Also one layer may provide openings or feedthroughs for connecting the implant to other components, such as coils and electrode arrays.
