Abstract: An example method includes capturing, via one or more sensors of a computing system, a representation of an ear of a user; determining, based on the representation, a value of a measurement of the ear of the user; and selecting, based on the value of the measurement, a length of a wire or tube of a hearing instrument to be worn on the ear of the user.

Abstract: A wellness evaluation system may determine, based on data generated by a first set of sensors powered by one or more batteries of one or more ear-wearable devices, that a user of the one or more ear-wearable devices is currently in an environment that includes human-directed communication signals. If so, a second set of sensors may be activated such that the one or more batteries provides an increased amount of power to the second set of sensors. Furthermore, the wellness evaluation system may determine based on data generated by the second set of sensors, whether the user has satisfied a target level of a wellness measure. If the user has not satisfied the target level of the wellness measure, the wellness evaluation system may perform an action to encourage the user to perform one or more activities to increase an achieved level of the wellness measure.

Abstract: A wellness evaluation system may determine, based on data generated by a first set of sensors powered by one or more batteries of one or more ear-wearable devices, that a user of the one or more car-wearable devices is currently in an environment that includes human-directed communication signals. If so, a second set of sensors may be activated such that the one or more batteries provides an increased amount of power to the second set of sensors. Furthermore, the wellness evaluation system may determine based on data generated by the second set of sensors, whether the user has satisfied a target level of a wellness measure.

Abstract: A hearing instrument may generate vibration, via a vibration unit, in response to determining a notification for a user of the hearing instrument. The hearing instrument may obtain a motion signal from one or more sensors indicative of the vibration generated by the hearing instrument. The hearing instrument determines, based on the motion signal, whether the user has touched the hearing instruments while the vibration unit is generating the vibration. The hearing instrument, responsive to a determination that the user has touched the hearing instrument while the vibration unit is generating vibration, executes a command.

Abstract: A system including one or more hearing instruments configured to be worn in, on, or about an ear of a user. The system is configured to: determine that the user may prefer either of a first or a second processing mode; apply the first processing mode and the second processing mode to generate a first output audio signal and a second output audio signal; cause one or more hearing instruments to output sound based on the first output audio signal or the second output audio signal; receive an indication of user input that identifies a selected output audio signal from among the first output audio signal and the second output audio signal; and apply a selected processing mode corresponding to the selected output audio signal to generate a third output audio signal; and cause the one or more hearing instruments to output sound based on the third output audio signal.

Abstract: An example system includes an ear-wearable device comprising a housing and a rechargeable battery located within the housing; a supplemental power storage device configured to provide electrical energy; and circuitry configured to transfer, responsive to occurrence of an event, electrical energy from the supplemental power storage device to the rechargeable battery prior to an initial use of the ear-wearable device.

Abstract: A system may obtain a set of features characterizing a segment of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data generated by an IMU of an ear-wearable device. The system may apply a machine learning model (MLM) that takes the features characterizing the segment of the IMU data as input. The system may determine, based on output values produced by the MLM, whether a user of the ear-wearable device has potentially been subject to physical abuse. The system may then perform an action in response to determining that the user of the ear-wearable device has potentially been subject to physical abuse.
