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.

Abstract: A method for fitting a hearing instrument comprises generating training data based on post-fitting adjustments made to settings of a plurality of hearing instruments and based on profiles of users of the plurality of hearing instruments, wherein the post-fitting adjustments are made to the settings of the plurality of hearing instruments after initial uses of the plurality of hearing instruments. The method further comprises training a machine learning (ML) model based on the training data to generate initial fitting suggestions. The method also comprises, prior to an initial use of a current hearing instrument by a current user, generating an initial fitting suggestion for the hearing instrument of the current user by applying the ML model to input that includes a profile of the current 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.
