Motivation: why “sound attenuation”Introductory study in preparation for modeling a full hearing aid device
Feedback in hearing aids:• Mechanical stability• Acoustic feedback:
– Leaks and/or vent– Sound radiation (tubing)?
feedback
receiver or loud speaker
microphones
earmold
earmold tube
Thicker tubes?Other materials?Include in future models?

Theory: electroacoustic model
Electric analogue to an acoustic system
An acoustic system may also be terminated by an acoustic impedance Zac
For this model to hold we assume plane waves!

Theory: thermoviscous acoustics
Assuming harmonic variations a small parameter expansion of the Navier-Stokes, continuity, and the energy equation yields:

Conclusions
2D model to analyze sound radiationPML for thermoviscous acoustic systemCoupling between electroacoustic model and FEM with AIBC
Order of magnitude OK (Flack et al.)Attenuation is high for standard earmold tubing (> 80 dB) Feedback @ high frequencies? More detailed study needed.
Some numerical effects/instabilities in the system –comments are welcome after the session!
