Abstract

Plastic hearing aids for use behind or in the ear, consist of perforated plastic material with grooves. The hearing aids can also be custom made for insertion into the ear.

Description

Die Dirinpur-Spezial-Otoplastiken (DSO) sind Otoplastiken aus Acryl oder Photoplast für Im- Ohr (IdO), Modul und Hinter-dem-Ohr (HdO)-Hörgeräte. Das Besondere daran ist: Sie sind perforiert und mit leichten Rillen. Die neue Technik eröffnet die Möglichkeit, auch solchen hörgeschädigten Menschen zu helfen, die starke Verluste der HörFähigkeit in tiefen Frequenzbereichen aufweisen, denen aber wegen "feuchter Ohren", also wegen einer starken Schweißentwicklung im Gehörgang, zuvor keine taugliche Form der Besserung zur Verfügung stand. Bisher konnte man nur bei einem schwachen bis mittleren Grad von Schwerhörigkeit, soweit nur Hochtonverluste auftraten, helfend einschreiten. Dies geschah durch die sogenannte offene Versorgung. Dabei wird gewährleistet, daß die entstehende Feuchtigkeit nach außen abgeleitet wird, um so die Verstopfung der Schallaustrittsöffnung zu vermeiden. Als Mittel der offenen Versorgung dienen in der Regel entweder die Verlängerung des Schallschlauches unter Verzicht auf eine Otoplastik oder das Anbringen großer Belüftungsbohrungen in die Otoplastik. In beiden Fällen ist es unmöglich, große Hörschwächen oder besonder Verluste im Tieftonbereich befriedigend auszugleichen, da unvermeidlich Rückkopplungen entstehen. Durch die DS-Otoplastik wird dieses Problem gelöst. Rückkopplungen werden verhindert. Die Feuchtigkeit, die die Haut produziert, wird u. a. durch die außen an der Belüftungsbohrung angebrachten Rillen zusammengeführt und durch die Perforation nach innen in die Otoplastiken/Hohlschalen abgeleitet. Sie kann täglich oder nach Bedarf durch leichtes Schütteln oder Ausschlagen entfernt werden. Über Nacht sorgt ein Entfeuchtungsgranulat (Kieselsäure), das (in verpackter Form/Papiertütchen) mit dem Hörgerät in das Hörgeräteetui gelegt wird, dafür, die verbliebene Restfeuchtigkeit abzutrocknen.The Dirinpur special otoplastics (DSO) are otoplastics made of acrylic or photoplast for im- Ear (ITE), module and behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids. The special thing about it is: you are perforated and with slight grooves. The new technology opens up the possibility of such to help hearing impaired people who suffer severe hearing loss in deep Show frequency ranges, but because of "wet ears", that is because of a strong Development of sweat in the ear canal, previously no suitable form of improvement available was standing. So far, you have only had a mild to moderate degree of hearing loss, if only high-frequency losses occurred, intervene to help. This happened through the so-called open care. This ensures that the moisture that forms is outward is derived in order to avoid clogging of the sound outlet opening. As a means of open supply usually serve either to extend the sound tube under No otoplastic or large ventilation holes in the Earmold. In both cases it is impossible to have major hearing loss or special losses in the Satisfying the bass range satisfactorily, since feedback is inevitable. This problem is solved by the DS otoplastic. Feedback is prevented. The Moisture that the skin produces may a. through the outside of the ventilation hole attached grooves merged and through the perforation inwards into the Otoplastics / hollow shells derived. It can be done daily or as needed by light Shaking or knocking out can be removed. A dehumidifying granulate ensures overnight (Silica), the (in packaged form / paper bag) with the hearing aid in the hearing aid case is placed to dry off the remaining moisture.

Da die im Ohr aufkommende Feuchtigkeit auf diese Weise nicht die Möglichkeit hat, sich in Tropfen zu verdichten und um die geschützte Schallaustrittsöffnung zu lagern, besteht auch keine Gefahr, daß sie in die Öffnung gelangt und das Hören beeinträchtigt. Die technische Lösung der Perforation ist für alle Varianten von Hörgeräten anwendbar: für HdO- ebenso wie für IdO-Geräte (custom-made, Modul- und Semimodulgeräte). Since the moisture in the ear does not have the opportunity to get into this way There is also compression of droplets and in order to store the protected sound outlet opening no risk of it getting into the opening and impairing hearing. The technical The perforation solution can be used for all types of hearing aids: for BTE as well for ITE devices (custom-made, module and semi-module devices).  

Erklärung der AbbildungenExplanation of the pictures

Abb. 1: Stellt (als Beispiel) eine perforierte und mit Rillen versehene custom-made Hohlschale dar. Die Perforierung von anderen HdO- und IdO-Gerätetypen erfolgt entsprechend. Fig. 1: (as an example) shows a perforated and grooved custom-made hollow shell. The perforation of other BTE and ITE device types takes place accordingly.

Abb. 2: Eingesetzt wird in die perforierte Hohlschale ein perforierter Cerumenschutz als Bügel. Dieser Bügel ist als sogenannter Kulman-Bügel ohne Perforation auf dem Markt erhältlich und wurde durch die Firma Kulman-Hörgerätetechnik patentiert. Fig. 2: A perforated wax guard is used as a bracket in the perforated hollow shell. This bracket is available on the market as a so-called Kulman bracket without perforation and was patented by the Kulman hearing aid technology company.

Abb. 3: In die perforierte Hohlschale wird ein gekapselter Elektronikbausatz, montiert auf eine Grundplatte, eingesetzt. Hörer und Drahtverbindung sind gegen Feuchtigkeit isoliert. Fig. 3: An encapsulated electronic kit, mounted on a base plate, is inserted into the perforated hollow shell. The handset and wire connection are insulated against moisture.

Aufbau und Zusammensetzung des perforierten Hörgeräts erfolgt in gleicher Weise wie bei normalen Geräten üblich.The perforated hearing aid is constructed and assembled in the same way as for normal devices.
