Abstract

The hearing aid has a housing with a faceplate (1) incorporating an opening (2) containing an axis (3), which couples a pivoted adapter element, fitted in the opening, with an electrical input plug and contacts, with electronic circuit counter-contacts. The axis is made of an electrically conductive material, for acting as one of the counter-contacts for the electronic circuit. Pref. the adapter element is used for coupling the hearing aid to a programming device, or an audio cable. <IMAGE>
