Earpiece for determining state of closing element for vent
Abstract:
A system comprising an earpiece, the earpiece having a first end facing a tympanic membrane, and a second end facing toward a surrounding of a user when the earpiece is worn by the user, includes: a vent channel coupled to a first vent opening at the first end, and to a second vent opening at the second end, wherein the vent channel comprises a vent port; a closing element comprising a first magnetic member, the closing element configured to cause the vent port to be open, and to cause the vent port to be closed; an inductive member comprising a conductive material, the inductive member configured for inductive coupling with a second magnetic member, wherein the second magnetic member is configured for displacing the closing element by magnetic interaction with the first magnetic member; and a processor configured to obtain an electrical measurement value of the second magnetic member.
