Abstract:
An earpiece with structure for positioning and retaining the earpiece and with structure for sealing against the entrance to the ear canal to provide passive noise attenuation. The positioning and retaining structure engages features of the lateral surface of the ear. The structure for sealing against the entrance to the ear canal includes a conical structure.

Claim (Index 18):
An ear tip for an in-ear earpiece, comprising:\n a disc-shaped base; an outlet extending from the base at a non-right angle relative to a plane of a surface of the base, the outlet being tapered to transition from the surface of the base to an end of the outlet; a frusto-conical flap surrounding the outlet such that a central axis of the flap is at substantially the same non-right angle relative to the plane of the surface of the base as the outlet, with a narrow end of the flap joined to the end of the outlet, and the flap having a substantially uniform thickness; and a retaining leg extending from and curving around at least a portion of the base, wherein, when the ear tip is placed in a wearer's ear,\n the retaining leg is seated underneath the antihelix of the wearer's ear and applies pressure to the antihelix of the wearer's ear to orient the base and the flap so that the flap is positioned at the entrance of the ear canal, \n the flap forms a substantial seal with the flesh of the entrance of the wearer's ear canal.
