摘要: An ear-worn electronic device comprises a housing, electronic circuitry, a power source, a microphone, and a receiver or speaker. The housing comprises a nozzle dimensioned for deployment within at least a portion of an ear canal. The nozzle comprises a distal portion, a proximal portion, a cavity within the nozzle, and a terminus surface at the distal portion comprising a sound port through which sound can pass out of the nozzle. The nozzle comprises an acoustical vent arrangement comprising a proximal port provided at the proximal portion, a plurality of distal ports provided at the terminus surface, and at least a portion of the nozzle cavity in fluid communication with the proximal port and the distal ports. Each of the distal ports has a volume smaller than that of the proximal port, and a volume of the proximal port is substantially equal to that of the distal ports cumulatively.

摘要: An ear-worn electronic device comprises a microphone configured to sense sound in an acoustic environment, an acoustic transducer, and a non-volatile memory configured to store a plurality of parameter value sets, each of the parameter value sets associated with a different acoustic environment. A control input is configured to receive a control input signal produced by at least one of a user-actuatable control of the ear-worn electronic device and an external electronic device communicatively coupled to the ear-worn electronic device in response to a user action. A processor is configured to classify the acoustic environment using the sensed sound and determine a listening intent preference of the user. The processor is configured to apply, in response to the control input signal, one of the parameter value sets appropriate for the classification and the listening intent preference of the user.

摘要: An ear-worn electronic device comprises a microphone arrangement configured to sense sound in an acoustic environment, an acoustic transducer, and a non-volatile memory configured to store parameter value sets each associated with a different acoustic environment, at least one of which is associated with an acoustic environment with muffled speech. A control input of the device is configured to receive a control input signal produced by a user-actuatable control, a sensor or an external electronic device. A processor is configured to classify the acoustic environment as one with muffled speech using the sensed sound and, in response to a signal received from the control input, apply one or more of the parameter value sets appropriate for the classification to enhance intelligibility of muffled speech.

摘要: An ear-worn electronic device comprises at least one microphone configured to sense sound in an acoustic environment, an acoustic transducer, and a non-volatile memory configured to store a plurality of parameter value sets, each of the parameter value sets associated with a different acoustic environment. A control input is configured to receive a control input signal produced by at least one of a user-actuatable control of the ear-worn electronic device and an external electronic device communicatively coupled to the ear-worn electronic device in response to a user action. A processor is operably coupled to the microphone, the acoustic transducer, the non-volatile memory, and the control input. The processor is configured to classify the acoustic environment using the sensed sound and apply, in response to the control input signal, one of the parameter value sets appropriate for the classification.
