Abstract: A receiver-in-canal (RIC) assembly for positioning in or at an ear canal of a user. The RIC assembly includes a housing having an opening between an exterior space outside the housing and an internal space inside the housing, and a cable connection located in the housing and facilitating connection of a cable to the RIC assembly. Furthermore, the RIC assembly includes a first diaphragm extending in a first plane in the housing, and a first motor electrically connected to the cable connection and operatively connected to the first diaphragm. The cable connection is located relative to the first diaphragm such that at least a part of it can be projected onto a movable part of the first diaphragm in a direction perpendicular to the first plane and where the cable connection means is located in continuation of the first motor in a plane parallel to the first plane.

Abstract: A hearing aid comprises a housing with a sound channel in a longitudinal direction and terminating in a sound opening, a transducer for transducing sound at the sound opening, and an insert member having an insert part for insertion into the sound channel and a support part arranged against the housing. The insert member forms a sound path from a first sound opening to a second sound opening. The first sound opening is arranged in the insert part and the second sound opening is arranged in the support part outside the sound channel. The insert part comprises a retention member for retaining wax. The retention member includes an opening and is arranged so that a part hereof extends transverse to the longitudinal direction. The support part forms a protruding engagement member which facilitates catching of the insert member without engaging the sound path during removal of the insert member.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a receiver-in-canal assembly. The method comprises the steps of providing a receiver housing configured to be positioned in or at the ear canal of a user, and further being configured to comprise a receiver configured to output sound; providing a connector housing configured to be connected to a behind-the-ear part of a hearing aid; and providing an elongated tube configured for transfer of a signal from the connector housing to the receiver housing. In a further step the receiver housing and the connector housing are attached to opposite ends of the elongated tube. Subsequently, the tube is permanently deformed after attachment of the receiver housing and the connector housing to the tube by exposing it to heat in a first predetermined treatment period.

Abstract: A dome for a personal audio device. The dome forms a first flexible circumferential member and comprising a guiding structure extending in a longitudinal direction and forming an interface for guiding sound from or to the personal audio device. The guiding structure comprises a least one sound opening configured for passage of sound from or to the personal audio device in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the guiding structure. The first flexible member is configured to at least partly close the sound opening during insertion of the dome into an ear canal of a user.

Abstract: A receiver-in-canal (MC) assembly for positioning in or at an ear canal of a user. The RIC assembly includes a housing having an opening between an exterior space outside the housing and an internal space inside the housing, and a cable connection located in the housing and facilitating connection of a cable to the MC assembly. Furthermore, the MC assembly includes a first diaphragm extending in a first plane in the housing, and a first motor electrically connected to the cable connection and operatively connected to the first diaphragm.
