[0037] As shown in Figs. 1-2 An audio device includes an ear hook 11, a bone conduction earphone 12, and an air conduction earphone 13. The bone conduction earphone 12 and the air conduction earphone 13 can be switched between playing and stopping. The ear hook 11 is used to hang on the ear of the user, and the bone conduction earphone 12 and the air conduction earphone 13 are respectively arranged on the ear hook 11. The ear hook 11 provides support for the bone conduction earphone 12 and the air conduction earphone 13, so that the bone conduction earphone 12 can be attached to the bone, and the air conduction earphone 13 can be at the ear canal opening.

[0038] The air conduction earphone 13 is movably mounted on the ear hook 11. The movement includes detachable, rotating, sliding and other mounting modes. The air conduction earphone 13 has a first position and a second position. After the ear hook 11 is hung on the ear, when the air conduction earphone 13 is mounted on the ear hook 11 at the first position, the air conduction earphone 13 is located at the ear canal opening, and the air conduction earphone 13 can be selectively played. The air conduction earphone 13 can be triggered by a button or automatically triggered, and the air conduction earphone 13 transmits sound to the tympanic membrane through air. When the air conduction earphone 13 is mounted on the ear hook 11 at the second position, the air conduction earphone 13 is away from the ear canal opening, and the air conduction earphone 13 stops playing. At this time, the air conduction earphone 13 cannot play sound, and the bone conduction earphone 12 can be selectively played. The bone conduction earphone 12 can be triggered by a button or automatically triggered, and the bone conduction earphone 12 transmits sound to the inner ear through bone vibration. In this way, when the user uses it in a quiet environment, the air conduction earphone 13 can be driven to move and switch to the first position. When the user needs to hear the environmental sound in the environment, the air conduction earphone 13 can be driven to move and switch to the second position. By switching the air conduction earphone 13 to the first position and the second position, the audio device can be used in different use scenarios, improving the applicability of the audio device. Especially in the case of large environmental noise or the need for specific auxiliary hearing, the best hearing support can be provided.

[0039] In one embodiment, the audio device further includes a circuit module mounted on the ear hook 11. The bone conduction earphone 12 and the air conduction earphone 13 are electrically connected to the circuit module. The circuit module is used to control the bone conduction earphone 12 and the air conduction earphone 13, so that the bone conduction earphone 12 and the air conduction earphone 13 can be switched between playing and stopping. The same circuit module is used to control the bone conduction earphone 12 and the air conduction earphone 13. In other embodiments, multiple circuit modules can be used to control the bone conduction earphone 12 and the air conduction earphone 13 respectively.

[0040] When the air conduction earphone 13 is in the first position, the circuit module controls the air conduction earphone 13 to start playing. When the air conduction earphone 13 is in the second position, the circuit module controls the air conduction earphone 13 to stop playing and controls the bone conduction earphone 12 to start playing. When the ear hook 11 is hung behind the ear, the air conduction earphone 13 is located at the ear canal opening when the air conduction earphone 13 is installed at the ear hook 11 in the first position, the circuit module controls the air conduction earphone 13 to start playing, at this time, the circuit module controls the air conduction earphone 13 to automatically start playing or the air conduction earphone 13 can be selectively started playing through the button on the circuit module, the air conduction earphone 13 transmits sound to the eardrum through air. When the air conduction earphone 13 is installed at the ear hook 11 in the second position, the air conduction earphone 13 is away from the ear canal opening, the circuit module controls the air conduction earphone 13 to stop playing, at this time, the bone conduction earphone 12 automatically starts playing or the bone conduction earphone 12 can be selectively started playing through the button on the circuit module, the bone conduction earphone 12 transmits sound to the inner ear through bone vibration.

[0041] In an embodiment, when the audio device is turned on, the air conduction earphone 13 automatically starts playing when the air conduction earphone 13 is installed at the ear hook 11 in the first position, and the bone conduction earphone 12 controls whether to start playing through a button. When the air conduction earphone 13 is installed at the ear hook 11 in the second position, the air conduction earphone 13 automatically stops playing, and the bone conduction earphone 12 automatically starts playing.

[0042] Further, the audio device further comprises a control button 14 electrically connected with the circuit module. The control button 14 can be a physical button or a sensing button. When the air conduction earphone 13 is in the first position, the control button 14 is used to control the bone conduction earphone 12 to start playing and stop playing. When the air conduction earphone 13 of the present application is in the second position, the air conduction earphone 13 stops playing sound, and the audio device can only play sound by using the bone conduction earphone 12. When the air conduction earphone 13 is in the first position, sound can be played by using the air conduction earphone 13 alone or by using the air conduction earphone 13 and the bone conduction earphone 12 simultaneously, specifically, when the control button 14 is not pressed, sound is played by using the air conduction earphone 13 alone, and when the control button 14 is pressed, sound is played by using the air conduction earphone 13 and the bone conduction earphone 12 simultaneously.

[0043] Thus, the audio device of the present application has a multi-mode sound playing system and is suitable for three specific use scenarios. The following is a detailed description of the schemes for the three scenarios:

[0044] Use scenario one: bone conduction sound mode is used by mild to moderate hearing impaired users or when the user needs to hear environmental sound. This mode is applied when the user needs to keep alert and hear the surrounding environmental sound, and the air conduction earphone 13 is switched to the second position. At this time, the air conduction earphone 13 is away from the ear canal opening, the bone conduction earphone 12 is attached to the skin, and the sound emitted by the bone conduction earphone 12 is transmitted to the inner ear through the bone, thereby retaining the perception of environmental sound.

[0045] Use scenario two: air conduction sound mode is used in a relatively quiet listening environment. This mode is applied in a quiet environment, and the air conduction earphone 13 is switched to the first position. The bone conduction earphone 12 does not work, the air conduction earphone 13 is located near the ear canal opening, and the sound emitted by the air conduction earphone 13 is transmitted to the eardrum through the air, providing high-quality hearing assistance.

[0046] Use scenario three: dual sound mode is used when the user needs to enhance the effect of hearing assistance in a chaotic and noisy environment. This mode is applied in a noisy environment, and the user turns on the dual sound mode by pressing the control button 14. The air conduction earphone 13 and the bone conduction earphone 12 work simultaneously to improve the effect of hearing assistance.

[0047] Since the hearing impaired patients generally have different degrees of hearing impairment in both ears, in the air conduction sound mode and the dual sound mode, the distance between the air conduction earphone 13 and the ear canal opening can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the air conduction earphone 13, thereby controlling the volume size. For example, the user can control the volume size by rotating the angle of the air conduction earphone 13 to adapt to their own situation.
