International Classification:

H04R 25/00

US Classification:

381329, 381322, 381328, 181135

Abstract:

A removal tool for atraumatically removing a removable fitting from a hearing device inserted deeply in the ear canal comprises a housing adapted to be grasped in the hand and a plurality of flexible members partially positioned in the housing and extending from the housing. The members have an outwardly flared portion at a distal portion of the member. At least one member includes an engagement element positioned at the flared distal portion of the member for engaging a removal element on the fitting. The tool also comprises a mechanism for engaging the engagement element with the removal element for removal of the fitting independent of a radial orientation of the housing with respect to the hearing device.

US Classification:

381325, 381328, 381312

Abstract:

Various embodiments provide systems, methods and assemblies for in situ removal of cerumen from hearing devices positioned in the ear canal. One embodiments provides a fitting for in situ cerumen removal comprising a top portion shaped to be removably coupled to a hearing device component surface and a plurality of leg members extending axially from a perimeter of the top portion. The top portion has a plurality of openings and at least one flexible retaining element configured to releasably engage a retaining feature on the hearing device. The leg members are configured to fit over another surface of the hearing device component. The fitting can be removed from the device component without removing the hearing device from the ear canal. The fitting can also include a removal loop that has a non-deployed state and a deployed state. The fitting is configured to remove cerumen obstructing a feature on the device component.

US Classification:

707804, 707754, 707798, 715503, 715509

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for analyzing data called “pivot points” which allows users to instantly generate a report based on all available dimensions for any cell in a tabular report or any data point in a graphical report. In one embodiment, the techniques involve placing a unique UI element or menu next to or on each data point, and clicking on this UI element brings up an automatically filtered list of the valid reports available for just this sub-set of the data. Once the user selects which view they want, a report is automatically generated based on those dimensions with just this subset of data.

US Classification:

704503, 704500, 704E19048, 341 61

Abstract:

A source sampling rate is associated with first or second groups of sampling rates. A playback rate is determined by: (a) selecting the source sampling rate if the source sampling rate is supported by a playback environment; (b) otherwise if there is a highest first rate from the first or second groups of playback sampling rates which is supported by the playback environment and is lower than the source sampling rate, selecting the first rate; (c) otherwise if there is a slowest second rate from the group that the source sampling rate is associated with that is supported by the playback environment and is higher than the source sampling rate, selecting the second rate; (d) otherwise selecting the slowest sampling rate supported by the playback environment from the group that the source sampling rate is not associated with as the playback rate.
