Assembly comprising a sound emitter and two sound detectors

1. An assembly adapted to be positioned within the ear canal of a user, the assembly comprising a sound emitter and at least two sound detectors fixed to each other, wherein:

each detector has a sound receiving opening, the sound receiving openings of at least two of the detectors pointing in opposite directions,

the sound emitter has a sound emitting opening pointing in one direction and being adapted to emit sound into the canal,

the sound receiving opening of at least one of the detectors points in the one direction and into the canal, and

a second of the detectors has its sound receiving opening directed outwardly of the canal,

the assembly further comprising a circuit adapted to receive a first signal from the first detector, a second signal from the second detector, and to provide, to the emitter, a signal compensating for sound represented by the second signal.

2. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of the emitter and the detectors comprises a plurality of electrically conducting parts, the assembly further comprising a set of external conducting elements, at least one of the external conducting elements being electrically connected to a conducting part of both the emitter and each of the detectors.

3. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the emitter comprises a housing having therein an amplifying circuit, the assembly further comprising first electrical conductors connecting at least one of the detectors to the amplifying circuit.

4. An assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the emitter has a driving element, the assembly further comprising second electrical conductors connecting the driving element to the amplifying circuit.

5. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the emitter and the detectors each comprises a housing, the emitter housing and at least one of the detector housings sharing a common wall part.

6. An assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising means for positioning and/or fixing the assembly within an ear canal of a person.

7. An assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the positioning means are adapted to, when positioned inside the ear canal of the person, at least substantially block sound from outside the ear from passing the means.

8. An assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the positioning means are adapted to, when positioned inside the ear canal of the person, allow sound from outside the ear from passing the means.

9. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the emitter is a balanced receiver.

10. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sound detector comprises a MEMS element adapted to detect sound.
