More Information
Summary:An illustrative hearing system may include a housing having at least one light source and at least one detector. The at least one light source may be configured to emit a first light having a first excitation frequency and a second light having a second excitation frequency toward tissue at the ear. The at least one detector may be configured to detect intensities of the first light at frequencies offset from the first excitation frequency after the first light has been scattered by the tissue and intensities of the second light at frequencies offset from the second excitation frequency after the second light has been scattered by the tissue. A processing unit may be configured to determine, based on the intensities of the first light and the second light, a glucose value representative of a glucose concentration within the tissue.
