US 10,219,064 B1 · Tri-micro low frequency filter tri-ear bud tips and horn boost with ratchet ear bud lock

Abstract

An embodiment of the technology includes Tri-Ear Buds for a wireless in-ear utility device that provides in-ear frequency filtering and can also offer a horn that increases the wireless in-ear utility device's ability to deliver sound. The horn effect can provide higher sound levels while consuming lower battery power. The channels can provide increased safety and comfort for the user. Embodiments of the technology can include accommodation for a balance between the wearable in-ear devices and hearing aids, such as to accommodate the wearable device requiring more sealing in the ear canal for better sound quality, to accommodate the hearing aid seals requiring more leakage for allowing for the user's voice to have an increased naturalness in sound, where the balance between the both can be frequency leakage in the 50 Hz to 300 Hz, which can allow for the seal to produce high quality performance for the two platforms.

Dependent claims

A system for improving use of an in-ear utility device, the system comprising:

Tri-Ear Buds adapted for a connection to an in-ear main trunk support extending from a solid portion of the in-ear utility device, wherein the Tri-Ear Buds are configured to reside in a user's ear canal within a first bend of the ear canal, wherein the Tri-Ear Buds comprise an end configured to reside in the user's ear canal at a distance less than 16 millimeters from the entrance of the user's ear canal;
a ratchet ear bud lock adapted to physically associate with the Tri-Ear Buds to facilitate the connection between the Tri-Ear Buds and the in-ear main trunk support, wherein the ratchet ear bud lock comprises locking features configured for a removal force adjustable from at least one of 0.25 Lbs/0.5 Lbs/0.75 Lbs/1.25 Lbs/1.5 Lbs/2.25 Lbs/2.5 Lbs, by way of decreasing jaws of the locking features;
and
a horn boost component adapted to physically associate with the in-ear utility device, and wherein the horn boost component is configured to facilitate an acoustic horn effect.
