摘要： A hearing aid includes a first half shell and a second shell attached to the first shell. A microphone, battery, electronics, a receiver and a flexible tip are mounted within a housing formed by the first half shell and the second half shell. A mechanical securing mechanism, located on the first half shell and the second half shell, attaches the first half shell to the second half shell. A flexible tip for a hearing aid includes a tip portion, a sound port attached to the tip portion and a vent formed in the flexible tip. The vent provides static pressure equilibrium between an ear canal and an ambient pressure.

摘要： The present invention relates to a modular hearing aid having a base unit and a detachable earmold. A battery, an earmold tip and a receiver can be integrated with the earmold. The earmold can also include a removably attached module. The module can have a shell, electronics, a receiver or a microphone. A hearing aid also includes a flexible hearing aid tip having a vibration isolator portion and a mushroom shaped tip portion. The vibration isolator portion mechanically decouples a receiver from a hearing aid base unit while the mushroom shaped tip portion provides an acoustic seal in the ear canal of a user. The internal components of a hearing aid can be potted to attenuate vibrations created by the receiver during operation.

摘要： A disposable-type hearing aid uses a relatively large single diaphragm or a large single diaphragm subdivided into a plurality of smaller active diaphragm areas obtained using a grate-like back support plate with ridges which contact and divide the diaphragm into the several smaller active diaphragm areas. The diaphragm and a backplate are enclosed in a metal housing and are disposed proximal and parallel to a shell-like hearing aid enclosure having sound inlets. The metal housing is closed at an end opposite the sound inlets by a printed circuit board (PCB) forming an acoustical seal for a back volume of the microphone. The PCB also carries substantially all the electronic components for the hearing aid thereon. The PCB has a ground plane in contact with the housing whereby the PCB also acts as an EMI shield. An electrical connection is formed in various ways between the back support plate and the PCB during assembly of the metal housing and components with the PCB. Mass production of disposable hearing aids with large diaphragms and relatively low noise levels is thus possible using this invention.
摘要翻译：一次性助听器使用相对较大的单个隔膜或大的单个膜片，其被细分为多个较小的活动隔膜区域，该区域使用格栅状的后支撑板，其具有将隔膜接触并分隔成若干更小的活动隔膜区域。隔膜和背板封装在金属外壳中，并且靠近并平行于具有声音入口的壳状助听器外壳。通过形成用于麦克风的后部体积的声学密封的印刷电路板（PCB），金属外壳在与入口相对的端部封闭。 PCB还基本上承载所有用于助听器的电子部件。 PCB具有与壳体接触的接地平面，由此PCB还用作EMI屏蔽。在金属外壳和部件与PCB的组装期间，在后支撑板和PCB之间以各种方式形成电连接。因此，使用本发明可大量生产具有大膜片的一次性助听器和相对低的噪音水平。

摘要： Ear-level full duplex audio communication systems each include one or two ear attachment devices, such as in-the-ear (ITE) or behind-the-ear (BTE) devices, that wirelessly communicates to a remote device such as a computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a cellular phone, a walkie talkie, or a language translator. When used as a hearing aid, such a system allows a hearing impaired individual to communicate with or through the remote device, such as to talk to another person through a cellular phone. When being used as an ear piece wirelessly extended from the remote device, such system allows an individual with normal hearing to privately communicate with or through the remote device without the need of holding the device or wearing any device wired to the remote device. Each ear attachment device includes a voice operated exchange (VOX), housed within the device, to preserve energy and hence, maximize the period between battery replacement or recharges. The VOX also gates various sounds detected by the system to control possible echoes and ringing.
摘要翻译：耳级全双工音频通信系统各自包括一个或两个耳附件装置，诸如耳内（ITE）或耳后（BTE）设备，无线地与诸如计算机的远程设备通信，个人数字助理（PDA），蜂窝电话，对讲机或语言翻译器。当用作助听器时，这样的系统允许听力受损个体与远程设备通信或通过远程设备通信，例如通过蜂窝电话与另一个人通话。当被用作从远程设备无线地延伸的耳机时，这样的系统允许具有正常听力的个人私人地与远程设备进行通信或者通过远程设备进行通信，而不需要保持设备或佩戴连接到远程设备的任何设备。每个耳朵附接装置包括容纳在装置内的语音操作交换机（VOX），以保持能量并因此最大限度地延长电池更换或充电之间的时间。 VOX还会对系统检测到的各种声音进行控制，以控制可能的回波和振铃。

摘要： A non-invasive, non-ionizing, reproducible method and apparatus for analyzing the normal and abnormal function of human and animal joints is presented. The method includes passing vibrations through the joint to be analyzed and measuring the modulation of the amplitude and the phase characteristics of the vibrations caused by movement of the joint through a predetermined cycle. More specifically, the method includes transmitting a sinusoidal vibratory signal through a joint structure to be analyzed and measuring the amplitude and phase of the signal received on the opposite side of the joint during a prescribed movement of the joint both with and without the application of external mechanical forces, and comparing the profile of the modulated signal to the profiles obtained from reference joints. The apparatus includes a piezoelectric or magnetic transducer adapted to be positioned on one side of a joint to be analyzed to provide the vibrational signal and one or more receiving transducers placed on the other side of the joint to detect the modulated vibratory signal produced by the associated joint structure.
