Abstract
A method for providing optimal dynamic techniques for custom-fit ear hearing devices. The method includes steps of mounting pressure and motion sensors in a ear-enclosing hearing device, transmitting data produced by said sensors during actual operation of said ear-enclosing hearing device worn by a specific individual, receiving said sensor signals for subsequent analysis by a computer, creating a stress-and-motion map based on said sensor-based data, and creating a virtual hearing device (model) for optimal support and comfort based on step iv stress-and-motion map.
Claims8
