본 발명은 충전식 보청기에 대한 것으로서, 좀 더 상세히는 보청기를 간편하게 충전할 수 있고 안전하게 보관할 수 있도록 된 새로운 구조의 충전식 보청기에 대한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rechargeable hearing aid, and more particularly, to a rechargeable hearing aid having a new structure that can be easily charged and safely stored.

보청기는 청력이 약한 사람들이 귀에 삽입하여 음파를 증폭시켜서 용이하게 들을 수 있도록 하는 장치이다. 이러한 보청기는 귀에 삽입할 수 있도록 그 크기가 작게 제작되며, 내부의 전자소자에 전원을 공급하기 위한 전지도 수은전지와 같이 부피가 작은 전지를 사용하게 된다. 그런데, 이러한 보청기에 사용하는 전지는 그 용량이 상대적으로 작아서, 새 전지를 끼워도 며칠 동안 사용하면 전지가 소모되므로, 전지를 자주 교체해야 된다. 그런데, 보청기를 사용하는 자가 전자기기의 조작에 익숙하지 못한 노인층이나 장애를 가진 사람인 경우에는 크기가 작은 보청기의 전지커버를 열어서 작은 전지를 교체하는 것이 번거로운 일일 뿐만 아니라, 소형 전지의 교체에 비용이 적지 않게 소요되므로, 경제적인 부담이 될 수 있다.Hearing aids are devices that people with low hearing ability can insert into their ears to amplify sound waves so they can easily hear them. Such a hearing aid is manufactured to be small in size so that it can be inserted into an ear, and a battery for supplying power to an internal electronic device also uses a small battery such as a mercury battery. By the way, the battery used in such a hearing aid is relatively small in capacity, so even if a new battery is used for several days, the battery is consumed, so the battery must be replaced frequently. However, when the hearing aid is used by an elderly person or a person with a disability who is not familiar with the operation of the electronic device, it is not only cumbersome to replace the small battery by opening the battery cover of the small hearing aid, but also it is expensive to replace the small battery. It is quite small, so it can be an economic burden.

또한, 아울러 보청기는 그 크기가 작아서, 휴대 중에 분실하거나 외부의 충격에 의해 손상되거나 또는 이물질이 묻기 쉽고, 보관해 둔 보청기를 찾을 때 쉽게 눈에 띠지 않는 경우도 종종 발생한다. In addition, hearing aids are small in size, and are often lost while carrying, damaged by external shocks or foreign matters, and are often not easily noticeable when looking for stored hearing aids.
