Abstract
An earpiece may include an earpiece housing, an electronics package associated with the earpiece housing, a hydrophobic barrier on the earpiece, and an oleophobic barrier on the earpiece. The hydrophobic barrier may be applied directly to the electronics package. The oleophobic barrier may be distal to the electronics package. The oleophobic barrier may be an oleophobic nano-coating applied to a mesh or screen. The hydrophobic barrier may be distal to the electronics package. The oleophobic barrier may be distal to the hydrophobic barrier. The hydrophobic barrier may be a nano-coating applied directly to a mesh or screen. The oleophobic barrier may be a nano-coating applied directly to a mesh or screen.
