    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to ear-wearable devices that can be used to provide vibration stimulation to device wearers to reduce fall risk. In an embodiment, an ear-wearable device is included having a control circuit, a microphone, and a sensor package. The sensor package can include a touch sensor. The ear-wearable device can further include a vibration generator. The ear-wearable device is configured to evaluate signals from the touch sensor to detect device touching and generate vibrations using the vibration generator when device touching is detected. Other embodiments are also included herein.

    CPC classification number: H04R25/305

    Abstract: An ear-worn electronic device comprises a housing configured for deployment in, on or about an ear of a wearer and a power source situated in the housing. A sensor is situated in or on the housing and coupled to the power source. The sensor is configured to generate a sensor signal representative of motion of the wearer’s head and relative motion between the sensor and skin of the wearer’s ear resulting from the wearer’s head motion. A controller is situated in the housing and coupled to the power source and the sensor. The controller is configured to assess a fit of the device using the sensor signal.

    Abstract: An ear-worn electronic device comprises a housing configured to fit at least partially in an ear of a wearer, a power source situated in the housing, and a temperature sensor arrangement situated in or on the housing and coupled to the power source. The temperature sensor arrangement is configured to generate sensor signals in response to heat generated in the wearer's ear and a controller, situated in the housing and coupled to the power source and the temperature sensor arrangement, is configured to assess a fit of the device using the sensor signals.

    Abstract: An ear-wearable electronic device comprises a shell having a uniquely-shaped outer surface that corresponds uniquely to an ear geometry of a wearer of the device. The shell comprises a window through a proximal portion of the shell and positioned at ear canal tissue when the device is deployed in the wearer's ear. An optical sensor, such as a photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor, is disposed in the window. A biasing member has a uniquely-shaped outer surface that corresponds uniquely to a geometry of at least a portion of a pinna of the wearer's ear. The biasing member is configured to generate a biasing force sufficient to maintain static positioning of the optical sensor relative to the ear canal tissue during wearer body and jaw movement.

    Abstract: An ear-wearable electronic device has a shell with an outer surface. A mounting void goes through the outer surface of the shell and exposes an internal volume of the shell. The mounting void is located at an ear-contacting region of the shell. The ear-wearable device includes a photoplethysmography sensor assembly having an optical transmission structure mounted in the mounting void and having a distal end exposed proximate the outer surface. The distal end of the optical transmission structure conforms to the outer surface of the shell at the ear-contacting region. The distal end is in contact with ear tissue of a user of the ear-wearable electronic device during use.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an electronic device configured to measure temperature from within an ear canal having a first bend, a second bend, and a tympanic membrane. The device comprises an enclosure comprising an in-canal section dimensioned for deployment in the ear canal. The in-canal section comprises a trough extending axially along at least a portion of the in-canal section and arranged to be positioned between the first bend and the tympanic membrane when the in-canal section is fully deployed in the ear canal. A temperature sensor is disposed in the trough. The temperature sensor comprises a flexible circuit board, a distal temperature sensor disposed on the flexible circuit board, and a proximal temperature sensor disposed on the flexible circuit board and situated proximal of, and spaced apart from, the distal temperature sensor in an outer ear direction.

    Abstract: A system may have a rechargeable hearing instrument with a power source, an ultraviolet (UV) sensor configured to convert received UV light into electrical power and charging circuitry coupled to the UV sensor and to the power source. The charging circuitry may use the electrical power to charge the power source. A charger may have a charging cavity configured to receive the rechargeable hearing instrument. A power source within the charger powers a UV light source located within the charger configured to provide UV light to the UV sensor of the rechargeable hearing instrument when the rechargeable hearing instrument is placed within the charging cavity.
