Abstract:

An intra-concha stabilizer with length adjustable conchal wall hook securely holds an audio transducer or speaker within a wearer's ear. The audio speaker is held within a support integrally included within an outer shell of the stabilizer. Within the outer shell, a conchal wall hook carrier slides along an integrally formed groove within the outside of the outer shell. The conchal wall hook perpendicularly protrudes away from the inside of the outer shell and the conchal wall hook carrier in order to engage the conchal wall of the wearer's ear. When worn, the audio speaker is positioned within the wearer's ear between the tragus and the antitragus. The conchal wall hook is then slidably positioned against the conchal wall of the wearer's ear in order to secure the speaker within the ear.
