Measurement principle for changes in the shape of the ear canal. The earphone-type sensor receives the light emitted from the optical distance sensor that is reflected back by the eardrum and ear canal. During chewing, the shape of the ear canal changes, which alters the distance between the optical distance sensor and the eardrum and ear canal. The amount of light received changes over time in association with this change in distance.
