    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for determining whether a user of a hearing instrument is located either indoors or outdoors. The hearing instrument has an ultraviolet (UV) sensor, a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor and/or a spectrometer to determine whether the user is located indoors or outdoors. The hearing instrument uses energy converted by the UV sensor to charge a power source used by the hearing instrument. The UV sensor is used to determine whether an adhesive is properly cured and thus improve the manufacturing process for the hearing instrument. The UV sensor also works with other onboard sensors, such as the PPG sensor to determine if the user has hair or a head covering which is blocking the hearing instrument. If a user's hair or head covering is detected, the processing circuitry may adjust a pre-established heat balance equation, which determines a user's temperature.

    Abstract: Examples of this disclosure relate to an accessory device for a hearing instrument. The accessory device comprises a connector tip that comprises a first wire segment and a second wire segment, lire first and second wire segments are electrically conductive and electrically insulated from each other. The connector tip also comprises a first set of bristles and a second set of bristles. The first and second sets of bristles are electrically conductive. The first set of bristles is electrically connected to the first wire segment and electrically insulated from the second wire segment. The second set of bristles is electrically connected to the second wire segment and electrically insulated from the first wire segment. The first set of bristles is spaced sufficiently far from the second set of bristles as to prevent a short circuit between the first and second sets of bristles.

    Abstract: A recharging system includes a contact pad charger (12) having a compressible contact pad (28,29) conformable to a rechargeable device body (18) for charging a power storage device in the rechargeable device body. The contact pad charger includes a power supply configured to provide a supply voltage. The compressible contact pad is electrically coupled to the power supply and defines a first variable resistance in response to a first conductor compression. The rechargeable device body includes a power manager electrically coupled to the power supply and is configured to receive a variable input voltage in response to a first variable voltage drop across the first conductor and to provide a regulated output voltage in response to the received variable input voltage. The regulated output voltage is less than the supply voltage. The power storage device is electrically coupled to the power manager and configured to receive the regulated output voltage for charging.

    Abstract: An ear-wearable device includes a receiver that produces sound into an ear canal and an inward-facing microphone determining sound pressure resulting from: the sound reproduced by the receiver into the ear canal; and acoustical noise leaking into the ear canal. A structural vibration sensor is coupled to detect at least one of body-induced vibrations and receiver-induced vibrations and produce a sensed vibration signal in response. A sound processor of the ear-wearable device is operable to determine an error signal from the inward-facing microphone and determine an active noise cancellation (ANC) signal based on the error signal. The vibration signal is used to reduce the impacts of vibrations on ANC processing within the ear-wearable device.
