Patent attributes
An audio output apparatus has a simplified structure and is stably fitted in an ear assuredly. The audio output apparatus includes: a speaker that outputs a sound; a base body that includes a facing surface and is at least partially inserted into an ear canal of an ear; a rotating body that includes a relative surface at least partially facing the facing surface and is rotatable relative to the base body; and a fulcrum shaft that is present at least at one of a position displaced from a middle portion of the facing surface or a position displaced from a middle portion of the relative surface, the fulcrum shaft serving as a fulcrum of rotation of the rotating body relative to the base body, in which, in a state where the base body is inserted into the ear canal, the rotating body rotated relative to the base body is allowed to be in contact with part of the ear.
