  • Patent number: 10219064
    Abstract: An embodiment of the technology includes Tri-Ear Buds for a wireless in-ear utility device that provides in-ear frequency filtering and can also offer a horn that increases the wireless in-ear utility device's ability to deliver sound. The horn effect can provide higher sound levels while consuming lower battery power. The channels can provide increased safety and comfort for the user. Embodiments of the technology can include accommodation for a balance between the wearable in-ear devices and hearing aids, such as to accommodate the wearable device requiring more sealing in the ear canal for better sound quality, to accommodate the hearing aid seals requiring more leakage for allowing for the user's voice to have an increased naturalness in sound, where the balance between the both can be frequency leakage in the 50 Hz to 300 Hz, which can allow for the seal to produce high quality performance for the two platforms.
