Abstract: Methods of measuring biometric characteristics using a sensor positioned in an ear canal of a user are provided. The sensor is positioned on or connected to an ear tip, a contact hearing device, or one or more components thereof. One or more biometric signals may be sensed from the sensor. The biometric characteristic of the user is measured or derived from these sensed signals, and include but are not limited to the temperature of the user, acoustic signal(s) from the user, movement(s) of the user, a ballistocardiogram, an electrocardiogram, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a first ear simulator coupler configured to receive a first hearing device within a first aperture, with an acoustic microphone provided below the first aperture to capture first audio input data associated with the first ear simulator coupler. A second ear simulator coupler can comprise a second aperture configured to receive a contact hearing device ear tip, the second ear simulator coupler including a receive coil configured to obtain a second audio input data corresponding to a transmitted signal from the contact hearing device ear tip when inserted within the second ear simulator coupler. The apparatus can include an audio output port can be connected by a switch to a selected one of a first audio processing path corresponding to a simulated hearing experience of the first hearing device, or a second audio processing path corresponding to a simulated hearing experience of the contact hearing device.
