Abstract (en)

The disclosed technology relates to an earpiece with an electronic package and a receiver, where the electronic package and the receiver are positioned off-axis within an ear canal. The electronic package and the receiver can be assembled in a single component, where the electronic package and the receiver are in different planes. The electronic package can include a sensor or actuator and the receiver can provide audio signals to a user's ear drum (e.g., a loudspeaker). In some implementations, the hearing device is characterized in that the electronic package and the receiver are positioned at an angle alpha (α) relative to each other, where the angle alpha (α) is based on a difference between an axis of the electronic package relative to an axis of the receiver.
