    摘要: An illustrative sound calibration system is configured to direct a loudspeaker to present a sound to a recipient by way of a length of tubing extending from the loudspeaker to an ear tip disposed at an ear canal of the recipient. The directing is configured to cause the sound to have a target sound pressure level at the ear canal. The system is further configured to obtain, from a probe microphone disposed within the ear tip, a detected sound pressure level of the sound as the sound is presented at the ear canal. The system is further configured to identify a discrepancy between the detected and target sound pressure levels of the sound as the sound is presented at the ear canal, and, based on the identified discrepancy, to direct a remedial action to be performed to compensate for the discrepancy. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

    摘要: A biological signal measurement system includes: a biological signal measurer that measures a biological signal including external noise of biological noise and of environmental noise; biological noise measurer that measures a signal including the biological noise; a biological noise estimator that estimates the biological noise from the signal measured by the biological noise measurer; an environmental noise measurer that measures a signal including the environmental noise; an environmental noise estimator that estimates the environmental noise from the signal measured by the environmental noise measurer; and a calculator that calculates the biological signal in consideration of an effect of the external noise using the signal measured by the biological signal measurer, the biological noise estimated by the biological noise estimator and the environmental noise estimated by the environmental noise estimator.

    摘要: An electrode device is disclosed that is removably implantable at least partially in a bone or other tissue. The electrode device includes a head and a shaft connected to the head. The shaft has a shaft body extending distally from the head in an axial direction of the shaft, and a conductive element including a conductive surface at a distal end of the shaft. A plurality of discrete anchor elements can project from an outer surface of the shaft body in a transverse direction of the shaft. A conductive wire can be permanently fixed to a proximal end surface of the conductive element, the end surface being located in or adjacent the head. The head can have a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface. An electrode array and a reamer tool is also disclosed.

    摘要: An exemplary hearing system that is configured to assist a user in hearing includes an in-the-ear (“ITE”) component that comprises a shell having a contoured outer shape that is customized for the user to fit at least partially within an ear canal of the user, a faceplate configured to fit within an opening provided in the shell and face out of the ear canal of the user when the shell is inserted into the ear canal of the user, a sensor electrode that is provided on an outer surface of the shell, and a conductive path that extends along the outer surface of the shell from the sensor electrode to the faceplate and that conductively connects the sensor electrode with a conductive portion of the faceplate. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
