  • Patent number: 9510084
    Abstract: An in-ear monitor that can be customized for particular applications and individuals includes a housing formed from a body and a cover. A dynamic driver is mounted in a cavity in the housing on an angled mounting flange. The dynamic driver is acoustically coupled to a trumpet-shaped sound collector. The trumpet-shaped sound collector is coupled to a main sound bore that exits an opening in a nozzle portion of the body that is inserted into the ear canal of a user. An ambient sound port collects ambient sound and couples it to the sound bore. An additional bass port increases the bass response of the monitor. Ear impressions are used to customize the body of the monitor to the ear of a user and the location of the bass and ambient sound ports can be altered for different applications.

  • Publication number: 20160173971
    Abstract: A hearing device may be arranged with at least a rigid earpiece adapted to secure within a user's ear. The rigid earpiece can be connected to a tip constructed of a thermoplastic elastomer. The tip may have an annular protrusion with a first diameter and a cantilevered annular body having a second diameter. The first diameter can be smaller than the second diameter and configured to deform in response to heat from the user's ear.
