Ear Tips Capable Of Capturing Bioelectrical Signals And Providing Nerve Stimulation

A method of fabricating an ear tip including the steps of: providing an ear tip for an earpiece including a body having first and second ends, an inner wall extending between the first and second ends, and an outer wall connected to the inner wall of the body at the first end and tapering away from the inner wall toward the second end; and forming a first electrically conductive element along the outer surface of the outer wall and an inner surface of the inner wall; or forming a first electrically conductive element on an outer surface of the deformable outer wall and a second electrically conductive element connected to the first electrically conductive element, wherein the second electrically conductive element extends along an inner surface of the outer wall and an outer surface of the inner wall.

3 Independent Claims

  • 1. A method of fabricating an ear tip, comprising the steps of: providing an ear tip, wherein the ear tip comprises a body having first and second ends, an inner wall extending between the first and second ends to define a hollow passage, and a deformable outer wall connected to the inner wall of the body at the first end and tapering away from the inner wall toward the second end; and forming at least one electrically conductive element on the deformable outer wall, wherein at least part of the at least one electrically conductive element extends along an inner surface or an outer surface of the inner wall.

  • 10. An ear tip for an earpiece, comprising: a body having first and second ends, an inner wall extending between the first and second ends to define a hollow passage to conduct acoustic energy, and a deformable outer wall connected to the inner wall of the body at the first end and tapering away from the inner wall toward the second end; and a first electrically conductive element arranged on an outer surface of the deformable outer wall, wherein the first electrically conductive element extends along the outer surface of the outer wall and an inner surface of the inner wall.

  • 15. An ear tip for an earpiece, comprising: a body having first and second ends, an inner wall extending between the first and second ends to define a hollow passage to conduct acoustic energy, and a deformable outer wall connected to the inner wall of the body at the first end and tapering away from the inner wall toward the second end; a first electrically conductive element arranged on an outer surface of the deformable outer wall; and a second electrically conductive element connected to the first electrically conductive element, wherein the second electrically conductive element extends along an inner surface of the outer wall and an outer surface of the inner wall.
