Abstract:
Described is a human-ear-wearable apparatus having a housing, which contains electronic and auditory components for conveying sound into a human hear. An inflatable mounting system is configured to secure the housing to the human ear. The mounting system includes an elastomeric bladder configured to inflate into a customizable counterpart shape of portions of the user's Concha and Meatus areas of a particular user's ear. A pump, coupled to the housing, is configured to pass air through an opening in the housing to the elastomeric bladder. Inflation of the bladder, via the pump, is controllable by a user to form a customized fit of the mounting system's bladder to the Concha and Meatus areas of the user's ear. One or more speakers may be encased in the elastomeric bladder. For example, a dual-hybrid speaker arrangement is described with a cone speaker and a balanced-armature driver embedded in the bladder.

Claim (Index 9):
A human-ear-wearable apparatus, comprising:\n a midplane having an outer ring along the periphery of the midplane; an elastomeric bladder, coupled to the outer ring, wherein the elastomeric bladder is generally coplanar to the midplane, wherein the elastomeric bladder and the midplane are generally spaced apart to form a first chamber for maintaining compressed air; and a diaphragm coupled to the outer ring on an opposite side of the midplane from the elastomeric bladder, wherein the midplane is sandwiched between the diaphragm and elastomeric bladder, wherein the diaphragm is generally coplanar to the midplane, and wherein the diaphragm and the midplane are generally spaced apart to form a second chamber.
