Abstract:
1. A technology delivery, positioning and sound management system selectively positionable at any location in the ear canal comprising: at least one technology module; a support element structured and arranged for insertion into the ear canal, the support element including an elongate body portion for supporting the at least one technology module and having a proximal end and a distal end; a conformable fitting element positioned on the support element, the conformable fitting element being deformable for insertion into and removal from the ear canal and adapted to be selectively conformably fitted to the ear canal, the conformable fitting element being selectively incrementally movable between a radially compressed position and a radially expanded position, the conformable fitting element having a radial dimension in any radially expanded position which is equal to or greater than its radial dimension in the radially compressed position; and moving means for selectively incrementally moving the conformable fitting element, the moving means comprising a ratchet.
