  • Ambient sonic low-pressure equalization
    Patent number: 10165352
    Abstract: A passive ambient in-ear monitor includes an interchangeable unidirectional sonic filter that allows ambient sound to pass through to the ear canal and be combined with sound generated by internal drivers. A sonic low pressure equalization device of a predetermined spatial volume links the sonic filter with the internal drivers to deliver to the user a mixture of generated and ambient sound without any substantial degradation to low frequency sound.

  • Conformable ear piece and method of using and making same
    Patent number: 7889883
    Abstract: An ear piece device made of pliable material dimensioned for fitting the ear canal of a user. In one embodiment, one canal extends through a portion of the ear piece to provide an opening for communication between a person's inner ear and an environment outside the person's ear. The ear piece has at least two fold lines to facilitate the reversible collapsing of the device into a star-like configuration.

  • Conformable ear piece and method of using and making same
    Patent number: 7602933
    Abstract: An ear piece device comprising a generally cone-shaped article made of pliable material dimensioned for fitting the ear canal of a user. In one embodiment, one canal extends through a portion of the ear piece to provide an opening for communication between a person's inner ear and an environment outside the person's ear. The ear piece has a plurality of fold lines provided to facilitate the reversible collapsing of the cone into a star-like configuration when sufficient outside pressure is applied thereto.
