Abstract
An acoustic apparatus includes an outer housing, a receiver, and a shock cushion. The receiver is disposed within the outer housing. The shock cushion is disposed at least partially between the outer housing and the receiver. The shock cushion is sufficient to dampen mechanical energy received at the outer housing before reaching the receiver housing.
Claims11
An acoustic apparatus, comprising:
- an outer housing configured to fit within the ear canal of a human user;
- a receiver disposed within the outer housing;
- and
- a shock cushion disposed at least partially between the outer housing and the receiver, the shock cushion sufficient to dampen mechanical energy received at the outer housing before reaching the receiver housing.

An acoustic apparatus, comprising:
- an outer housing configured to fit within the ear canal of a human user;
- a receiver disposed within the outer housing;
- a plurality of viscoelastic shock absorbing members disposed at least partially between the outer housing and the receiver, the plurality of shock absorbing members sufficient to dampen mechanical energy received at the outer housing before reaching the receiver housing;
- a gap between the outer housing and the receiver, the plurality of viscoelastic shock absorbing members disposed at least partially within the gap;
- and
- a gasket coupled to an end of the outer housing, the gasket configured to further absorb mechanical energy received at the outer housing before reaching the receiver.
