Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing having an external surface configured to be placed on a non-magnetic material over-laying a first device comprising a first ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material. The apparatus further includes a second ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material and/or an electromagnet within the housing. The second ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material and/or the electromagnet is configured to generate an attractive magnetic force with the first device. The apparatus is configured to controllably adjust an attractive magnetic force between the first device and the second ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material and/or the electromagnet along a longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the surface.

Abstract: Presented herein are contaminant-proof microphone assemblies for use with devices/apparatuses, such as auditory prostheses, that include one or more microphones disposed within a housing. A contaminant-proof microphone assembly in accordance with certain embodiments presented herein includes a microphone, a microphone plug, and a contaminant-proof membrane. The microphone plug has a first end coupled to the microphone and a second end that is configured to be positioned adjacent the contaminant-proof membrane. As such, the microphone plug is disposed between a sound inlet of the microphone and the contaminant-proof membrane. The microphone plug may be configured to mate with the housing or a gasket attached to the housing.

Abstract: Presented herein are devices/apparatuses having indicator lights (visual indicators), such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), positioned underneath/below the outer surface of a housing of the device. However, the indicator lights positioned below the outer surface of the housing, sometimes referred to herein as “sub-surface” or “sub-housing” indicator lights, are optically coupled to the outer surface of the housing via one or more optical connectors (e.g., light guides, light pipes, light diffusers, etc.). As such, the light emitted by the sub-surface indicator lights is still visible at the outer surface of the device housing.
