Abstract:
An earbud may include capacitive sensor electrodes and a capacitance-to-digital converter that is configured to make capacitance measurements with the capacitive sensor electrodes. The earbud may have a housing in which a speaker is mounted. A tubular portion of the housing may have a passageway that is aligned with the speaker. The tubular portion may be received within the ear canal of a user. The tubular portion may include a tubular member on which the capacitive sensor electrodes are formed. The tubular member may be formed from a compressible tubular member that is compressed when the earbud is worn in the ear of the user. Ring-shaped electrodes and other electrodes may be formed on the compressible tubular member. Control circuitry in the earbud may determine whether the earbud is fully or partially within the ear of a user based on the capacitance measurements.

Claim (Index 19):
The electronic device defined in  claim 18  wherein the compressible member comprises a foam tube.
