  • Patent number: 10616675
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an earphone. The earphone comprises: an earbud, wherein a cable comes out from an open end of a stem of the earbud; and a strain relief element mounted at the open end, the material of which is softer than that of the stem. The strain relief element contains a cable tube where the cable passes through and the inner wall of the cable tube fits the cable in a close manner. According to an embodiment of this invention, the present invention can provide a better strain relief effect.

  • Patent number: 10362398
    Abstract: A monolithic loudspeaker and a method for controlling a monolithic loudspeaker are disclosed. The loudspeaker comprises: a first pair of speakers for a first channel, including a first front speaker and a first rear speaker, wherein the first front speaker and the first rear speaker are arranged along a first axis in a first cross-section of the loudspeaker, and are arranged towards opposite directions; and a second pair of speakers for a second channel, including a second front speaker and a second rear speaker, wherein the second front speaker and the second rear speaker are arranged along a second axis in a second cross-section of the loudspeaker, and are arranged towards opposite directions; wherein the first axis and the second axis are deflected by an angle. According to an embodiment of this invention, a new arrangement for a monolithic loudspeaker is proposed.

  • Patent number: 9294829
    Abstract: A noise reduction filter for a microphone reducing unwanted wind noise includes a first filter element made of a first material configured to filter out wind noise, wherein the first filter element comprises a first surface configured to face towards a first microphone inlet of a first sound tube, the first microphone inlet having a central axis, and a second filter element made of a second material configured to be impermeable to wind, wherein the second filter element is configured to be positioned at the central axis so that a first part of a sound wave travelling towards the first microphone inlet is prevented by the second filter element from passing through a second surface of the first filter element into the first filter element, wherein the second surface is configured to be positioned at the central axis.

  • Patent number: 9247329
    Abstract: A suspension for a hearing device receiver includes: a receiver holding part; and a damping structure with a body and a receiver base, the body comprising a first body part, the damping structure having an inner surface forming a sound duct, the sound duct extending through the first body part, the damping structure having a first opening at a first sound duct end, the first opening configured for connecting an output port of a receiver, the damping structure having a second opening at a second sound duct end, the sound duct providing a sound path for conveying sound energy from the receiver through the damping structure to the second opening, the first body part extending from the receiver base; wherein the damping structure comprises a first damping element connecting the body and the receiver base so that the receiver base is separate from and in parallel to the first body part.

  • Patent number: 8737657
    Abstract: A suspension for a hearing device having a receiver includes a first part, a second part, and a vibration isolator positioned between the first and the second parts, and mechanically coupled to the first and second parts, wherein the first part is configured to at least partly enclose the receiver, wherein the second part is configured to at least partly enclose a sound outlet of the hearing device, wherein the vibration isolator comprises an acoustic passage part and a damping part enclosing the acoustic passage, wherein the acoustic passage part provides an acoustic passage between the first and second parts, wherein the damping part of the vibration isolator is asymmetrical along a longitudinal, a transverse axis, or both the longitudinal axis and the transverse axis, of the vibration isolator, and wherein the vibration isolator is freely suspended between the first and second parts.
