Description:DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] This disclosure relates generally to the field of acoustics, more particularly to an earpiece.
BACKGROUND
[002] Hearing loss impacts millions globally, and hearing aids are generally prescribed to enhance a hearing capability of a user. Conventionally, the hearing aids are categorized into behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids, in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids, receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids, in-the canal (ITC) hearing aids, completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aids, and the like. However, despite advancements in technology, these hearing aids fail to fully address psychological and practical needs of the user. Typically, the conventional hearing aids may be either bulky or outdated-looking (such as the BTE hearing aids), or may struggle with limited performance or unnatural sound quality (such as the ITE hearing aids). Additionally, the ITE hearing aids are generally custom-made, and hence, are expensive and unaffordable to most users. Moreover, the design of such hearing aids requires the integration advanced and expensive technology to enhance performance and provide natural hearing experience.
[003] Additionally, a stigma is rooted in social attitudes towards hearing loss and use of conventional hearing aids. Consequently, the user may be hesitant in consistently sporting the convention hearing aids, fearing social repercussions, being judged, or a loss of self-esteem. Such limitations in design and stigma created by the design tend to enhance reluctance towards the hearing aids, which impacts the overall hearing health and quality of life of the user.
[004] Therefore, there is a pressing need to address the above shortcomings and provide an earpiece which is ergonomically designed, is not bulky, to be inserted within the ear and removed intuitively from the ear.
SUMMARY
[005] In an embodiment, an earpiece is disclosed. The earpiece may include a casing secured to an ear of the user and a poly-angled housing adjoined to a top of the casing. The poly-angled housing may include a top cover, and a bottom cover attached to the top cover to define a space therebetween. The space may be configured to secure an electronics package.
[006] In another embodiment, an earpiece is disclosed. The earpiece may include a V-angled housing configured to contact a cymba concha of an ear of a user. The V-angled housing may be adjoined to a top of a casing. The V-angled housing may include a top cover, and a bottom cover attached to the top cover to define a space therebetween. The space may be configured to secure an electronics package.
[007] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.

[012] The foregoing description has broadly outlined the features and technical advantages of the present disclosure in order that the detailed description of the disclosure that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the disclosure will be described hereinafter which forms the subject of the claims of the disclosure. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and specific embodiments disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying other devices, systems, assemblies, and mechanisms for carrying out the same purposes of the present disclosure. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the scope of the disclosure as set forth in the appended claims. The novel features which are believed to be characteristics of the disclosure, to its device or system, together with further objects and advantages will be better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying figures. It is to be expressly understood, however, that each of the figures is provided for the purpose of illustration and description only and is not intended as a definition of the limits of the present disclosure.
[013] The terms “including”, “comprises”, “comprising”, “comprising of” or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusions, such that a system or a device that comprises a list of components or steps does not include only those components or steps but may include other components or steps not expressly listed or inherent to such setup or device. In other words, one or more elements in a system or apparatus proceeded by “comprises… a” does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of other elements or additional elements in the system or apparatus.
[014] Reference will now be made to the exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, same numerals have been used to refer to the same or like parts. The following paragraphs describe the present disclosure with reference to FIGs. 1-3.
[015] As will be appreciated, traditional hearing aids are faced with constrained adoption and utilization due to rooted social stigma and design complexity (i.e., failing to comply with variations of a shape of an ear of a user). Thus, there exists a vital need for hearing aids which are capable of being fitted into the ear of the user irrespective of variation in the shape of the ear of the user, without making the user feel stereotyped and/or judged.
[016] Therefore, an earpiece is disclosed in the present disclosure. The earpiece may be configured to be accommodated with an ear of a user. Moreover, the earpiece may contact a cymba concha of the ear to secure the earpiece within the ear, especially when the user may be performing physical activities such as walking, running, working-out, and the like.
[017] Referring to FIG. 1, a perspective view 100 of an earpiece 102 is illustrated, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The earpiece 102 may be configured to be accommodated within an ear (not shown in FIG. 1) of a user. By way of an example, the earpiece 102 may be employed as a hearing assistance device (i.e., a hearing aid), an earphone, a combination thereof, and the like. As will be explained in greater detail in conjunction with FIGs. 1-3, the earpiece 102 may be designed to contact with a cymba concha of the ear. The cymba concha may be a part of an external region of the ear and may define an oval-shape or a crescent-shape with a smooth concave surface. The cymba conchae of different individuals may vary in a plurality of aspects, such as size, morphology, symmetrical uniformity, and the like. For example, the cymba conchae may be variable in terms of a depth and an angle of curvature which may affect an overall auricular contour of the ear. Such variations may be congenital or age-related.
[018] The earpiece 102 may include a casing 104 configured to be secured to the ear of the user. The casing 104 may define a top 106, and a bottom 108 disposed opposite to the top 106. The top 106 and the bottom 108 may be adjoined to each other. In an embodiment, the top 106 may be formed in a semi-spherical shape. Alternatively, the top 106 may be designed as at least a partially convex surface. The bottom 108 may define a conical enclosure enabling accommodation of the earpiece 102 within the ear. Further, the bottom 108 may be configured to be accommodated within the cymba concha of the user. The bottom 108 may include a cushion 109 (i.e., an ear tip) to provide comfort to the user, allowing the user to wear the earpiece for a long period. By way of an example, the cushion 109 may be made from silicone, foam, or a combination thereof.
[019] The earpiece 102 may include a poly-angled housing 110 adjoined to the top 106 of the casing 104. By way of an example, the poly-angled housing 110 may be a V-angled housing, an L-angled housing, a curved-shaped housing, and the like. The poly-angled housing 110 may be configured to contact the cymba concha of the ear. As will be appreciated by the person skilled in the art, the poly-angled housing 110 may be monolithically formed by a plurality of forming methods commonly known in the art. It is to be noted that a design of the earpiece 102 may comply with an anatomy of the ear. Further, the earpiece 102 may be formed to be anchored to the cymba concha of the user irrespective of the plurality of variations of the ear through the poly-angled housing 110.
[020] Additionally, one or more components enclosed within the poly-angled housing 110 may be electrically connected with one or more components within the casing 104. This is explained in greater detail in conjunction with FIG. 2. It may be noted that the earpiece 102 include a power source (not shown), enclosed within the casing 104. For example, the power source may be a rechargeable battery, such as a Lithium ion battery. The rechargeable battery may be configured to be charged via a charging case commonly known in the art.
[021] Referring to FIG. 2, an exploded view 200 of the earpiece 102 is illustrated, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As explained earlier, the earpiece 102 may include the casing 104 and the poly-angled housing 110 adjoined to the top 106 of the casing 104. The poly-angled housing 110 may include a top cover 202 and a bottom cover 204 attached to the top cover 202 by using a plurality of fastening methods commonly known in the art. The top cover 202 and the bottom cover 204 may define a semi-enclosed structure. The bottom cover 204 may be formed monolithically on the top 106 of the casing 104. Further, when the top cover 202 may be adjoined to the bottom cover 204, a space may be formed therebetween, thus defining the semi-enclosed structure. Such space may be configured to secure an electronics package 206. The assembly of the electronics package 206 is explained in greater detail hereinafter.
[022] The electronics package 206 may be formed corresponding to the poly-angled housing 110, i.e., the V-angled housing. The V-angled housing is apparent in FIG. 2. The electronics package 206 may be configured to operate the earpiece 102 as the hearing assistance device, the earphone, or a combination thereof, based on user requirements. In one embodiment, an operation mode of the earpiece 102 may be switched between a hearing assistance mode or an earphone mode, based upon an input command by a user.
[023] The top cover 202 may include a touch-based control panel which may be coupled to the electronics package 206. By way of an example, the touch-based control panel may allow user inputs in a form of a set of tap operations, a set of swipe operations, and the like. The user inputs may be utilized to switch operation modes of the earpiece 102, control volume, control various other features of the operation mode (i.e., the hearing assistance mode or the earphone mode). The top cover 202 may include a first end 208 and a second end 210 disposed opposite to the first end 208. The first end 208 and the second end 210 may define an interface through which the touch-based user inputs may be provided by the user.
[024] Further, a junction 211 may be formed at a point of adjoining between the top 106 of the casing 104 and the bottom cover 204 of the poly-angled housing 110. In an embodiment, the point of adjoining may be positioned at one of an angled regions of the poly-angled housing 110. For example, when the poly-angled housing 110 is a V-shaped housing, the point of adjoining (and hence, the junction 211) may be positioned in a vertex area of the bottom cover 204, between the first end 208 and the second end 210. Further, the junction 211 may be utilized by the user to provide the user inputs, and to form a three-point contact via the first end 208, the second end 210, and the junction 211. For example, the user inputs may be utilized when the earpiece 102 may be employed as the earphone. Further, the three-point contact may be formed when the earpiece 102 may be employed as the hearing assistance device (i.e., in the hearing assistance mode). It is to be noted that the touch-based control panel may be communicably coupled to the electronics package 206 of the earpiece 102. The operation and assembly of the electronics package 206 is explained in greater detail hereinafter.
[025] The electronics package 206 may include a control circuitry secured within the space. As a result, the earpiece 102 may be formed to be accommodated securely within the ear of the user irrespective of the plurality of variations. The control circuitry may include a microphone 212 and a processor 214 communicably coupled to the microphone 212. In some embodiments, the control circuitry may include a set of sensors, a set of electrical signals capable of operating the earpiece 102 as the hearing assistance device and/or the earphone, and the like. The microphone 212 may be configured to capture sound from the environment such as speech, ambient sounds, and the like and convert the corresponding acoustic sound waves into electrical signals. In some embodiments, an array of microphones may be utilized to generate a noise reduction signal. Such positioning of the microphone 212 may enable an air conduction of sound signals in an external environment directly into the ear, thus preserving the natural acoustic cues and improving perceived hearing experience of the user. This is explained in greater detail hereinafter. It is to be noted, due to contact of the bottom 108 with the cymba concha and positioning of the microphone 212, an external noise may be reduced, and signal to noise ratio may be improved by using the anatomy of the ear.
[026] The processor 214 may be communicably coupled to the touch-based control panel of the top cover 202. Further, the processor 214 may be communicably coupled to an I/O device (not shown) which may be synchronized with the touch-based control panel. The processor 214 may be configured to process the input commands generated via application of the user inputs at the touch-based control panel of the top cover 202. Therefore, the processor 214 may control operations of the earpiece 102 in the hearing assistance mode or the earphone mode, respectively. This is explained in greater detail hereinafter.
[027] In an embodiment, examples of processor(s) 214 may include but are not limited to, a complex instruction set computer (CISC), a reduced instruction set computer (RISC), a very long instruction word (VILW), a General-purpose Processors (GPPs), microcontrollers (MCUs), a Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), a Ultra-Low-Power (IoT/Embedded), and the like, on a chip processors or other future processors.
[028] The processor 214 may be communicably coupled to a wireless communication microcontroller for example, a Bluetooth. The wireless communication microcontroller may be configured to establish a communication between the earpiece 102 and a user device (such as a smartphone, a laptop, or a desktop). In an embodiment, the user may switch the operation mode of the earpiece 102 from the hearing assistance mode to the earphone mode using the connected user device. In such a scenario, the processor 214 may communicate through UART/Host Controller Interface (HCI) or similar interfaces to the wireless microcontrollers, sending commands and data for performing a set of operations such as pairing, profiles, power control, and the like.
[029] Further, the processor 214 may be connected to the touch-based control panel of the top cover 202, operating on wireless protocols including, but not limited to, I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), GPIOs, and the like, commonly known in the art.
[030] Further, the processor 214 may be communicably coupled to a memory (not shown). The memory may include a plurality of modules such as a detection module, a processing module, and the like, configured to execute various operations of the earpiece 102 in the hearing assistance mode and/or the earphone mode, based on the user inputs.
[031] In the scenario when the earpiece 102 is employed in the earphone mode, the user inputs may be performed via the first end 208, the second end 210, and the junction 211. Such operations, when utilized, may be configured to generate the input command which may be processed by the processor 214 to allow the user to switch the operation mode of the earpiece 102, control volume of the earphone, switch among a plurality of media features, and the like. The provision of the user inputs on the touch-based control panel is commonly known in the art.
[032] With the continued reference to FIG. 2, the casing 104 may include a compartment 216. The compartment 216 may be adjoined to the bottom 108. The compartment 216 may be configured to accommodate a power source 218 and a receiver 220 coupled to the power source 218 and the processor 214. In an embodiment, the power source 218 may be a low voltage rechargeable battery. The power source 218 may be configured to power the processor 214, the receiver 220, the microphone 212, and other electrical components enclosed within the casing 104 and the poly-angled housing 110. As will be appreciated, enclosing the electronics packaged in the poly-angled housing 110 may lead to extra space within the casing 104. Thus, the extra space in the bottom 108 of the casing 104 may allow for accommodation of a larger battery, which makes the hearing assistance device and/or the earphone efficient with a long battery life.
[033] When the earpiece 102 is deployed by the user, the microphone 212 may capture sound waves and may convert the sound waves into electrical signals. Further, the microphone 212 may transmit the electrical signals to the processor 214. The processor 214 may then transmit the electrical signals to the receiver 220. The receiver 220 may receive the processed electrical signals. Further, the receiver 220 may convert the processed electrical signals into sound waves. Accordingly, the sound waves may be delivered directly into the ear, enhancing hearing capabilities of the user.
[034] To elaborate further, when the earpiece 102 is deployed in the hearing assistance mode, the electrical signals may be amplified by an amplifier (not shown) connected to the microphone 212 and the processor 214. Further, the amplifier may be connected to the receiver 220. The amplifier may receive the noise reduction signal from the microphone 212 to apply a set of amplification techniques such that voltage of the noise reduction signal may be enhanced. By way of an example, the amplification techniques may include linear amplification, a nonlinear amplification with dynamic range compression, and the like, as commonly known in the art. Further, the processor 214 may execute an analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion to generate a plurality of digitized signals. Further, the digitized signals may be divided into multiple frequency channels, typically ranging from 4 Hz to about 20,000 Hz. Accordingly, the processor 214 may apply frequency-specific gain, noise suppression, feedback cancellation, and compression tailored to a hearing capability or a hearing profile of the user. Further, the amplified signal may be transmitted to the receiver 220 which may convert the electrical signals back into sound directly into the ear based on the hearing capability of the user.
[035] As explained earlier, the casing 104 may include the bottom 108. The bottom 108 may define a conical enclosure and may be coupled to the receiver 220. Due to the conical enclosure, the receiver 220 may be accommodated securely inside the bottom 108. Such conical enclosure may be formed corresponding to the plurality of variations of the cymba concha of the ear. Therefore, the earpiece 102 may be accommodated within the cymba concha of the ear.
[036] In some embodiments, the earpiece 102 may include a magnetic attachment 222 formed corresponding to a shape of the top cover 202 of the poly-angled housing 110. By way of an example, the shape may correspond to the V-angled housing, the L-angled housing, the curved-shaped housing, and the like. The magnetic attachment 222 may be configured to be removably adjoined to the top cover 202. The magnetic attachment 222 may be designed in a plurality of patterns which may be customized based on a preference of the user. In other words, the magnetic attachment 222 is a removable customized cap (or cover) designed to provide an aesthetic appeal to the earpiece 102 based on the user preference. The magnetic attachment 222 may be formed such that the touch-based control panel of the top cover 202 may be operated seamlessly without interference.
[037] Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic view 300 of the earpiece 102 is illustrated, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 depicts the earpiece 102 securely gripped intuitively with a hand 302 of the user. As explained earlier, the earpiece 102 may secure the control circuitry within the poly-angled housing 110. The control circuitry enables the operation of the earpiece 102. Further, the earpiece 102 may include the conical enclosure defined by the bottom 108. By virtue of the conical enclosure, the bottom 108 may contact a cymba concha 304 of an ear 306 of the user, thereby the earpiece 102 may be secured within the ear 306.
[038] The earpiece 102 may be gripped due to a three-point contact 308 formed on the top cover 202, i.e., the first end 208, the second end 210, and the junction 211. Such contact may allow the user to grip the earpiece 102 conveniently. Due to such contact and the shape, the insertion and removal of the earpiece 102 from a cymba concha 304 of an ear 306 of the user may be rendered intuitive. By virtue of the three-point contact 308, the earpiece 102 may be rotated in a counterclockwise direction to allow removal from the cymba concha 304 and may be rotated in a clockwise direction to allow insertion on the cymba concha 304 intuitively, and vice-versa. The earpiece 102 may also allow the user to utilize the first end 208, the second end 210, and the junction 211 in order to provide the user inputs. Thus, the three-point contact performs a dual function of providing a conveniently manageable grip to the earpiece 102 and providing a touch-based control panel. This is already explained in conjunction with FIGs. 1-2.
[039] As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the design described in the various embodiments discussed above are not routine, or conventional, or well-understood in the art. The techniques discussed above provide the earpiece configured to be secured within the cymba concha of the user irrespective of the plurality of variations in the shape of the ear of the user.
[040] In light of the above-mentioned advantages and the technical advancements provided by the disclosed earpiece, the claimed steps as discussed above are not routine, conventional, or well understood in the art, as the claimed steps enable the following solutions to the existing problems in conventional technologies. Further, the claimed steps bring an improvement in the functioning of the earpiece itself as the claimed steps provide a technical solution to a technical problem.
[041] Thus, the disclosed earpiece tries to overcome the technical problem of hearing aids by effectively combining features thereof. Firstly, the earpiece may enhance accessibility and aim to change the traditional perception of hearing aids by offering a modern solution. As a result, the earpiece encourages users to embrace the usage such that the stigma associated with hearing loss may be reduced.
[042] Secondly, the earpiece may provide Bluetooth connectivity which allows users to easily connect to the smartphones and other devices, enhancing their overall listening experience. Further, the earpiece benefits from strategically positioning the microphone inside the cymba concha of the ear, leveraging the natural sound localization capabilities facilitated by an ear pinna structure. Thereby delivering natural hearing experience.
[043] Thirdly, the earpiece may be formed in the poly angled structure which provides the three-point contact. Due to such contact and shape, the grip of the earpiece may be secured especially during insertion and removal from the ear. As a result, the earpiece allows users to comfortably grip and intuitively insert the earpiece, perfectly fitting the ear irrespective of the plurality of variations of the shape of the ear. Moreover, the earpiece offers a wide range of customization options, via the magnetic attachment, to accommodate personal style preferences, thereby addressing the needs of user across various generational cohorts.
[044] With respect to the use of substantially any plural and/or singular terms herein, those having skill in the art can translate from the plural to the singular and/or from the singular to the plural as is appropriate to the context and/or application. The various singular/plural permutations may be expressly set forth herein for sake of clarity.
[045] It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B.”
[046] In addition, where features or aspects of the disclosure are described in terms of Markush groups, those skilled in the art will recognize that the disclosure is also thereby described in terms of any individual member or subgroup of members of the Markush group.
[047] While various aspects and embodiments have been disclosed herein, other aspects and embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The various aspects and embodiments disclosed herein are for purposes of illustration and are not intended to be limiting, with the true scope and spirit being indicated by the following claims. , Claims:CLAIMS
