xMEMS Announces World's First Solid-State MEMS DynamicVent, Enabling Active Ambient Control for Next-Generation TWS and Hearing Aids

Part of xMEMS Labs announcements at CES 2023, the innovative MEMS speaker company introduced Skyline, the world’s first discrete solid-state MEMS DynamicVent, a specific design with a valve that opens or closes by sensor fusion input from the earbud DSP and enables the benefits of both an open-fit (spatially aware) and closed-fit (occluded) earbud design. This enables smart TWS earbuds and hearing aids that create best-of-both-worlds user experiences in the same product.

Truly wireless earbuds are growing rapidly in popularity as consumers discover everything that the Apple AirPods and Apple AirPods Pro are capable of and experiment other products, demanding similarly rich functionalities from their devices. To allow manufacturers to stay ahead of the curve by bringing innovative new features to market quickly with Bluetooth 5.2, Qualcomm made available its QCC5141 Occluded Earbud Reference Design with Qualcomm TrueWireless Mirroring and Qualcomm Hybrid ANC.

Qualcomm Technologies International, a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, launched Qualcomm Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) a new technology designed to deliver an improved user experience for earbuds with integrated ANC. The Adaptive ANC technology is designed to enhance user comfort and provide consistent sound quality for true wireless earbuds by adapting its performance to meet variations in how an earbud fits in a user’s ear, and adapt in real-time to changes in fit as the earbuds are in use.
