摘要： A hearing system having a hearing device, including a receiver antenna assembly with a receiver core having a relatively high magnetic permeability and a receiver coil wound around the receiver core, operably connected to a rechargeable power source, and a hearing device charger, including a transmitter antenna assembly, with a transmitter core having a relatively high magnetic permeability and a transmitter coil wound around the transmitter core, operably connected to a power supply. The respective configurations of the hearing device and the hearing device charger may be such that when the hearing device is in a charging position on the hearing device charger, the receiver core and the transmitter core together provides a closed loop path for magnetic flux.

摘要： A customized in-ear hearing device includes a light source, photodetector, light emission window, and light transmission window. The light source and the photodetector together function as a physiological sensor by emitting light from the light source through the light emission to the skin of a user's ear canal, and detecting at the photodetector light reflected by the skin that passes through the light detection window. The light emission window and light detection window are located at a customized portion of the sidewall of the device that contacts the skin in the ear canal.

摘要： An exemplary computing device includes a memory storing instructions; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform a process. The process may comprise identifying a hearing profile of a user of a hearing device; providing audio content as an input to a machine learning model; generating modified audio content by adjusting a characteristic of the audio content based on an output of the machine learning model and the hearing profile of the user of the hearing device; and transmitting the modified audio content to the hearing device.

摘要： An illustrative system includes a hearing device and a charging device configured to provide a power signal to the hearing device while the hearing device is within a charging range of the charging device. The hearing device and the charging device are configured to establish a primary communication channel between the hearing device and the charging device and participate in an authenticated pairing procedure for the primary communication channel in which authentication information is transmitted from one device to the other by way of a secondary communication channel that allows for communication only over distances that are below a threshold distance.
