ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for stabilizing a concha style headset comprises a receiver attachment that couples to the body of the receiver of the headset, a flexible and resilient support member extending from the receiver attachment, and a concha stabilizer pad coupled to the end of the support member, such that the concha stabilizer pad contacts the upper concha under the antihelix of the ear with the receiver placed in the lower concha in front of the ear canal. The receiver attachment can include a foam ear cushion that covers the portion of the receiver that is placed in the lower concha, with the concha stabilizer pad and the flexible support member formed of a compressed cellular foam. Support ribs extend from the upper surface of the ear cushion along the surface of the support member and join the concha stabilizer pad. Alternatively, the receiver attachment can include retaining members that engage in mounting holes in the receiver, and may include curved members which wrap around the body of the receiver when the retaining members mount the underside of the receiver. The support member can then include a flexible arch or stalk, with the concha stabilizer pad (or torus) located at the top of the arch.
