Abstract: An earpiece auditory device is described which includes a behind-the-ear component shaped to fit behind the ear of a user. The behind-the-ear component can also have at least one microphone and processing circuitry, where the processing circuitry is used to processes audio signal from the microphone. The device also includes a speaker sized to fit in the ear canal of a user, and an ear mold holding the speaker in place. The ear mold can also be position to touch the bony portion of the ear canal and provide sound attenuation in the ear canal. A connector physically and electrically connects the behind-the-ear component to the speaker. The connector is capable of being used to insert and remove the speaker and ear mold from the ear canal of the user.

Abstract: In representative embodiments, the present invention is directed to an at least partially in-the-canal module. The module may include a speaker module that generates audio signals from an electrical driving signal. The speaker module has a tubular body with a diameter that is smaller than the ear canal of the user. The speaker module also includes an arcuate raised ridge. A cushion tip of deformable material may be used to enclose the speaker module within a tubular portion that applies an elastic force to the arcuate raised ridge to prevent removal of the speaker from the cushion tip. Also, the tubular portion is longer than the speaker module to cause the cushion tip to deflect during navigation through the canal. Further, the tip portion of the cushion tip possesses sufficient structural rigidity to prevent the speaker from being pushed through the cushion tip during navigation through the canal.

Abstract: An ear cup housing has several reference microphones, an error microphone and a speaker. A processor drives the speaker for acoustic noise cancellation and transparency, by processing the microphone signals, and performs an oversight process by adjusting the reference microphone signals in response to detecting wind noise events and scratch events. In another aspect, the ear cup housing has an outside face that is joined to an inside face by a perimeter and the reference microphones are on the perimeter. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an earphone cover and an earphone assembly. The earphone cover having a through hole running axially through thereof. The earphone cover comprises a first attachment end, a second attachment end, a support portion, and a space defined by the support portion. The first and second attachment ends are positioned at each end of the through hole respectively. The support portion is set between the first and second attachment ends. The space is configured between an inner surface of the support portion and an outer surface of the earphone. The support portion deforms and air in the space escapes via the first and/or the second attachment ends under compression, and the support portion recovers to an original shape when the compression is removed.

Abstract: An ear covering system for keeping ears warn while wearing earphones includes a pair of earphones. Each of the earphones is selectively worn in an associated one of a pair of ears. A pair of earmuffs is provided and each of the earmuffs is selectively worn on an associated one the ears. Each of the earmuffs has a hole therein and each of the earphones is selectively extended through the hole in an associated one of the earmuffs. In this way the earmuffs are worn in conjunction with the earphones. Each of the earmuffs is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to keep the ears warm in a cold environment.
