    Abstract: An ear-worn electronic device comprises a housing configured to be worn in, at or about an ear of a wearer. Audio processing circuitry is disposed in or supported by the housing and comprises one or more microphones and a speaker or a receiver. A controller is disposed in the housing and coupled to the audio processing circuity. A rechargeable power source and charging circuitry are disposed in the housing. The charging circuitry is coupled to the controller and comprises first and second charge contacts situated at a wall of the housing. A user-actuatable control is coupled to the controller and comprises a touch sensor. The touch sensor comprises the first and second charge contacts.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a hearing device, system, application and a method in an electronic device. The method is for monitoring correct placement of a first physiologic sensor in/on/at an ear of a user. The first physiologic sensor is arranged in a hearing device. The first physiologic sensor in the hearing device is configured for monitoring the heart rate of the user wearing the hearing device. The electronic device and the hearing device are connected. The method comprises, at the electronic device, receiving first physiologic sensor data from the first physiologic sensor. The method comprises, at the electronic device, receiving second physiologic sensor data from a second physiologic sensor provided in an external device, where the external device is configured for detecting the heart rate of the user using the second physiologic sensor. The method comprises, at the electronic device, comparing the first physiologic sensor data from the first physiologic sensor with the second physiologic sensor data from the second physiologic sensor. The method comprises, at the electronic device, determining whether the first physiologic sensor data match the second physiologic sensor data. The method comprises, at the electronic device, in accordance with a determination that the first physiologic sensor data match the second physiologic sensor data, setting a reference physiologic sensor data based on the first physiologic sensor data and/or the second physiologic sensor data. The method comprises, at the electronic device, in accordance with a determination that the first physiologic sensor data do not match the second physiologic sensor data, providing a notification regarding adjusting the position of the first physiologic sensor in/on/at the ear of the user.
