Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed herein, among other things, are systems and methods for wideband receiver modules for hearing assistance devices. One aspect of the present subject matter includes an apparatus for use with a hearing assistance device. The apparatus includes two low frequency spout-less receivers configured to act as a woofer, and a dual receiver attached to the front of the woofer, the receiver configured to act as a tweeter. According to various embodiments, the acoustical load for each of the two low frequency receivers form a channel on each side of the tweeter. The apparatus is adapted to extend bandwidth of the hearing assistance device and to maintain low vibration of the dual receiver, in various embodiments. Various embodiments include sharing back volumes for receivers and improved perforated wax protections guides to further improve device performance.
