1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a glasses-style support structure comprising a front section and at least one side section;

    at least one bone-conduction speaker; and

    a member having a proximate end and a distal end, wherein the proximate end is attached to the at least one side section, and wherein the at least one bone-conduction speaker is attached to the member at or near the distal end;

    wherein the member is coupled to the at least one side section such that when the glasses-style support structure is worn the member;

    (a) extends to the anterior of the at least one side section, (b) locates the bone-conduction speaker at a location posterior to an ear, and (c) exerts a force on the bone-conduction speaker towards the posterior surface of the ear;

    wherein the proximate end of the member is coupled to the at least one side section at a coupling location such that when the glasses-style support structure is worn the coupling location is anterior to the location of the bone-conduction speaker.
