Claims (3)

1 . A electronic device, comprising: a deformable element configured to generate a first signal to an electronic component, to receive a second signal from the electronic component, and to deform an ear interface portion of the electronic device based on the second signal, wherein the first signal comprises an indication of a degree of sealing between the ear interface portion and a user's ear canal when the electronic device is worn by the user.
2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the deformable element comprises a first section configured to generate the first signal and a second section configured to receive the second signal from the electronic component.
3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising: a sensing element disposed over the ear interface portion.

Description

BACKGROUND 1. Technical Field The present disclosure relates to an electronic device. 2. Description of the Related Art To enable an electronic device (such as an in-ear audio device or an intra-aural audio device) to be used with ears of different sizes and shapes, one solution is to provide a range of ear tips of different shapes and/or sizes from which the user can choose. Despite the known solutions, there is still a need for providing a proper fit with a user's ear to achieve optimal active noise cancellation (ANC) and enhance acoustic performance while ensuring comfort when the electronic device is worn. SUMMARY In some arrangements, an electronic device includes a flexible element and a deformable element configured to convert energy from one form to make the flexible element compliant with a user's skin. In some arrangements, an electronic device includes an ear interface portion and a deformable element at least partially disposed in the ear interface portion. The deformable element is configured to deform the ear interface portion to compliant with a user's ear canal. In some arrangements, an electronic device includes a deformable element configured to generate a first signal to an electronic component, to receive a second signal from the electronic component, and to deform an ear interface portion of the electronic device based on the second signal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The following disclosure provides for many different arrangements, or examples, for implementing different features of the provided subject matter. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described as follows to explain certain aspects of the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, the formation of a first feature over or on a second feature in the description that follows may include an arrangement in which the first and second features are formed or disposed in direct contact, and may also include an arrangement in which additional features may be formed or disposed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact. In addition, the present disclosure may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various arrangements and/or configurations discussed. Spatial descriptions, such as “above,” “below,” “up,” “left,” “right,” “down,” “top,” “bottom,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “side,” “higher,” “lower,” “upper,” “over,” “under,” and so forth, are indicated with respect to the orientation shown in the figures unless otherwise specifie
