Abstract: A system with a first hearing device including a rechargeable power source, a second hearing device including a rechargeable power source, and a hearing device charger including a charger housing, a power source, charge circuitry operably connected to the power source, a first charge location and a second charge location.

Abstract: A hearing device seal module for use with a hearing device core including a tubular seal carrier defining a lumen configured for passage of the hearing device core and including a resilient seal support region formed from resilient material and configured to receive the hearing device core, a seal carrier support configured to hold at least a portion of the resilient seal support region open during an insertion of the hearing device core, and a first seal secured to a first portion of the seal support region and extending outwardly therefrom.

Abstract: A cerumen protection plug for a hearing device. The cerumen protection plug prevents cerumen from passing along a sound conduit in the hearing device and blocking sound output from a receiver in the hearing device. The cerumen protection plug includes a circular plug containing a cerumen barrier. A positioning handle allows the cerumen barrier to be positioned along the sound conduit, where it prevents cerumen that has entered the sound conduit from traveling along the sound conduit to the receiver or an output port of the receiver.

Abstract: A tool for replacing a cerumen filter in a sound conduit of a hearing aid. The tool is designed to position a cerumen filter along the sound conduit and to couple with and remove a cerumen filter that has been positioned along the sound conduit. The tool comprises an insertion tip and an removal tip, both configured to fit inside the sound conduit and to couple or engage with an engagement body extending centrally from the cerumen filter. The tool may be in the form of a stylus with the insertion tip on one and the removing tip on the other end. The tool may also be in the form of a disc dispenser with a plurality of insertion and removal tips attached to the dispenser and accessible for use by rotating plates making up the disc dispenser.

Abstract: An exemplary hearing device includes an interface assembly comprising a plurality of contacts and a processor coupled to the contacts. The processor is configured to configure, while a receiver assembly is connected to the interface assembly, the contacts to serve as output contacts; output, based on the configuring, audio signals to the receiver assembly by way of the contacts; detect that a device has been connected to the interface assembly in place of the receiver assembly; measure, in response to the detecting, a direct current resistance (DCR) of the device; determine, based on the DCR, that the device is a programming device; reconfigure, in response to determining that the device is the programming device, the contacts to serve as input contacts; and receive, based on the reconfiguring of the contacts to serve as input contacts, programming instructions from the programming device by way of the contacts.
