  • Publication number: 20160309266
    Abstract: A hearing aid device configured to be partly or fully inserted into the ear canal of a user is disclosed. The hearing aid device comprises a receiver (loudspeaker) adapted to generate and send an air-borne acoustic signal towards the eardrum when the hearing aid device is partly or fully inserted into the ear canal. The hearing aid device further comprises a microphone configured to receive acoustic signals. The hearing aid device comprises a processing unit configured to determine if the hearing aid device is positioned in a correct position in the ear canal on the basis of the acoustic signals received by the microphone.

  • Publication number: 20160119726
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to communication devices. Such devices may comprise input for receiving sound signal to be processed and presented to a user, and output for outputting the processed signal to a user perceivable as sound. Such processing may be performed by use of a processor for processing the sound signal in dependence of a setting or a set of setting to compensate a hearing loss profile. Further, the communication device may comprise a bio-signal acquisition and amplifier component in communication with a user interface for providing the bio-signals as input to the user interface, the user interface controlling the setting or set of setting for operation of the communication device.

  • Publication number: 20150289061
    Abstract: A hearing aid device configured to be inserted into the ear canal of a hearing aid user. The hearing aid includes a receiver, a hearing instrument body, and a connection member extending between the hearing instrument body and the receiver. The connection member is a permanent part of the hearing aid device and the connection member has a stiffness that allows the receiver to be inserted into the ear canal by moving the hearing instrument body towards the eardrum. The connection member comprises means for achieving a first stiffness sufficient large to insert the hearing aid device into the ear canal the connection member comprises means for achieving a second significantly reduced stiffness which makes the hearing aid device comfortable to wear for the user.

  • Publication number: 20040224685
    Abstract: A communication device includes a simplified interface to the user limiting the user to use a keypad, light sources and audio capability to operate the communication device. Having the light sources and a limited number of keys on the keypad to co-operate in the operation of the communication device, the user is still able to perform the basic functions of a communication device.
