Embodiment Construction

[0027] Several details are set forth below in order to provide a thorough understanding of practicing the invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that some implementations may not include all of the details described herein. In some instances, well known structures, hearing aid components, circuits and controls are shown in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the methods of practicing the invention.

[0028] This publication describes systems and methods how to use a wireless remote control around the ear canal hearing aid. One implementation of this publication relates to an ear canal hearing aid with a manually activated switch. In some examples, an ear canal hearing device may control a device outside the ear when a manual switch is activated.

[0029] figure 2 and image 3 According to the publication, an example of an ear canal hearing aid 100 is shown. The ear canal hearing aid 100 may include a medial end 106 (also referred to herein as a “...

Abstract

This publication describes an example of a system and method for wireless remote control of an ear canal hearing aid with manual actuation and a switch placed behind the tragus, in the outer ear cavity. In some examples, the lateral ends include one or more manual switches, a wireless antenna, and a battery. In some examples, wireless electronic devices include Bluetooth low energy capabilities. The paired device can be anything that has wireless control capabilities, such as electronic locks, thermostats, electronic lighting, phones, kitchen appliances, medical alert systems, televisions, medical devices, and smart glass. The invisible and secure fit of hearing aids in the ear canal allows hearing aid users to enjoy a normal lifestyle, including exercising. And it can be paired with multiple wireless control devices to perform functions.

Description

[0001] Cross-referencing related applications [0002] This application was filed on August 15, 2014, and claims the priority of the earlier filing date of the provisional case No. 62 / 037,616 entitled "In-Ear Canal Hearing Aid and Method of Using Wireless Remote Control" under Section 119 of the US Patent Law. The entirety of what is referred to herein is hereby incorporated into the above provisional application for any purpose. technical field [0003] Examples of hearing aids are described here, including certain in-the-canal hearing aids that can wirelessly actuate or control nearby hearing aid devices. Background technique [0004] Such as figure 1 As shown, the ear canal 10 is generally narrow and tortuous. The distance from the opening of the ear canal 11 to the tympanic membrane 15 is approximately 26 mm. The lateral area of ​​the ear canal 10 is referred to as the cartilage region 12 due to the cartilage tissue 16 beneath the skin. And the part located in the mi...
