Soft Hearing Aid

View page
US Patent:
6354990, Mar 12, 2002
Filed:
May 13, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/311156
Inventors:
Roger P. Juneau - Destrehan LA
Lynn P. Creel - Kenner LA
Edward J. Desporte - Covington LA
Michael Major - Kenner LA
Gregory R. Siegle - Kenner LA
Kelly M. Kinler - Luling LA
Assignee:
Softear Technology, L.L.C. - Hashan LA
International Classification:
H04R 2500
US Classification:
600 25
Abstract:
A hearing aid instrument of the in-the-ear type (and preferably CIC) provides a receptacle with electronic hearing aid components mounted thereto. The receptacle has a cavity for holding electronic components (eg. battery, microphone, amplifier). A soft polymeric body is preliminarily formed by encapsulating a plurality of the electronic hearing aid component shaped inserts. The body is soft and is shaped to conform to the ear canal of the user. After forming, the insert is removed to provide an insert cavity that can carry electronic components. The soft polymeric body and encapsulated electronic hearing aid components define a soft structure compliant to the ear canal during use and that is substantially solid and free of void spaces between at least some of the components and the ear canal. This combination of soft compliant structure and encapsulated electronic hearing aid components addresses problems of peripheral leakage, poor fit, pivotal displacement that occurs with jaw motion and internal cross talk of components housed in prior art hollow type hearing aids.

US Patent:
6432247, Aug 13, 2002
Filed:
Oct 28, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/181540
Inventors:
Roger P. Juneau - Destrehan LA
Lynn P. Creel - Kenner LA
Edward J. Desporte - Covington LA
Michael Major - Kenner LA
Gregory R. Siegle - Kenner LA
Kelly M. Kinler - Luling LA
Assignee:
Softear Technologies, L.L.C. - Harahan LA
International Classification:
B29C 3340
US Classification:
156245, 156329, 156344, 264134, 264135, 264222, 264225, 264226, 264227, 26427211, 26427214, 26427215, 427301
Abstract:
A hearing aid instrument of the in-the-ear type (and preferably CIC) provides a plate member with electronic hearing aid components mounted thereto. The plate member is preferably of a harder material such as hard plastic. A soft polymeric body is bonded to the plate member and encapsulates preferably a plurality of the electronic hearing aid components. The body is soft and is shaped to conform to the ear canal of the user. The soft polymeric body and encapsulated electronic hearing aid components define a soft structure compliant to the ear canal during use and that is substantially solid and free of void spaces between at least some of the components and the ear canal. This combination of soft compliant structure and encapsulated electronic hearing aid components addresses problems of peripheral leakage, poor fit, pivotal displacement that occurs with jaw motion and internal cross talk of components housed in prior art hollow type hearing aids.

US Patent:
6473512, Oct 29, 2002
Filed:
Oct 28, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/181845
Inventors:
Roger P. Juneau - Destrehan LA
Lynn P. Creel - Kenner LA
Edward J. Desporte - Covington LA
Michael Major - Kenner LA
Gregory R. Siegle - Kenner LA
Kelly M. Kinler - Luling LA
Assignee:
Softear Technologies, L.L.C. - Harahan LA
International Classification:
H04R 2500
US Classification:
381328, 381322
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of manufacturing a soft-solid elastomer custom ear device into which electronics are embedded provides a completely in-the-ear hearing aid with a soft body. This technology replaces hard acrylic ear molding. This hearing aid by virtue of its soft-solid design, meets the needs of the dynamic human ear canal which cannot be met with conventional hard acrylic molding. This hearing aid provides improved comfort and sound quality by better adapting to the dynamic changes in the ear canal which occur during everyday activities. This soft custom body also provides for ear-worn configurations of all subminiature electronic devices requiring discrete coupling to the human ear. These devices include digital telephones, cellular telephones, pagers, two-way communication systems, clocks, recorders, and many other subminiature technologies.
