Ein Hörgerät dieser Art ist aus der EP 0 695 108 A2 bekannt. Bei diesem Hörgerät sind die Hörgerätegehäuseteile über ein rohrförmiges Verbindungselement mit Hilfe von Formstücken und mit einer Halterung verbunden, die wie das Ende eines üblichen Brillenbügels ausgebildet ist. Die Formstücke können in dem am Ohr angeordneten Hörergehäuse bzw. in der Halterung des hinter dem Ohr getragenen Hörgerätegehäuseteils lösbar oder auch durch Verkleben stoffschlüssig befestigt sein. Das rohrförmige Verbindungselement besteht aus flexiblem Material und nimmt die Verbindungsdrahte zwischen dem Verstärker des Gehäuseteils und den Elementen des Hörergehäuses auf.A hearing aid of this type is known from EP 0 695 108 A2. In this hearing aid, the hearing aid housing parts are connected via a tubular connecting element with the help of shaped pieces and with a holder that is designed like the end of a standard spectacle frame. The shaped pieces can be detachably attached to the receiver housing arranged on the ear or in the holder of the hearing aid housing part worn behind the ear, or they can be firmly attached by gluing. The tubular connecting element is made of flexible material and accommodates the connecting wires between the amplifier of the housing part and the elements of the receiver housing.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Hörhilfegerät dieser Art weiter zu vereinfachen und zu verbessern.The object of the invention is to further simplify and improve a hearing aid device of this type.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Tragbügelenden mit dem Ohrpaßstück und dem Gehäuseteil ,durch aus Klinkensteckern und Klinkenbuchsen gebildete miniaturisierte und lösbare Steckverbindungen elektrisch und mechanisch koppelbar sind und wobei die Klinkenstecker und Klinkenbuchsen mittels Schnappverschluß und Verriegelung gegen axiales Verdrehen gesichert sind. Dabei zeichnet sich dieThis object is achieved by the invention in that the ends of the carrying bracket can be electrically and mechanically coupled to the earpiece and the housing part by means of miniaturized and detachable plug connections made up of jack plugs and jack sockets, and the jack plugs and jack sockets are secured against axial rotation by means of a snap lock and locking mechanism.

GR 98 G 3045GR 98 G 3045

Erfindung durch eine sichere, aber lösbare elektro-mechanische Kopplung zwischen dem Tragbügelteil und den Hörhilfegeräteteilen aus. Die sichere, aber lösbare Tragbügelverbindung ist im flexiblen Bereich des Tragbügels dreh- und biegbar an die Kopfform des Hörgeräteträgers anpaßbar. Dabei kann durch verschiedene Längen des flexiblen Verbindungselements bei der Anpassung ein optimaler Sitz des Hörhilfegerätes am Ohr erreicht werden. Ferner ist bei diesem Hörhilfegerät ein einfaches Austauschen der Hörhilfegeräteteile im Servicefall sowie andererseits eine größere Kombinationsmöglichkeit verschiedener Hörgerätebaugruppen möglich. Beispielsweise kann beim erfindungsgemäßen Hörhilfegerät auf einfache Weise das Mikrofon ausgetauscht oder ein vorhandener Hörer durch einen leistungsstärkeren Hörer ersetzt werden.Invention is characterized by a secure but detachable electro-mechanical coupling between the support bracket part and the hearing aid parts. The secure but detachable support bracket connection can be rotated and bent in the flexible area of the support bracket to adapt to the shape of the hearing aid wearer's head. The hearing aid can be optimally fitted to the ear by using different lengths of the flexible connecting element. Furthermore, this hearing aid allows for easy replacement of the hearing aid parts in the event of servicing and, on the other hand, a greater range of combination options for different hearing aid assemblies. For example, the microphone can be easily replaced in the hearing aid according to the invention or an existing receiver can be replaced with a more powerful receiver.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist eine elektrische Verbindungsleitung vorgesehen, die an ihren Enden mit Klinkensteckern bestückt ist und einen flexiblen, je nach Bedarf in der Länge ausgelegten sowie dreh- und biegbar anpaß-0 baren Tragbügel bildet. Die elektrischen Leitungen dieser z.B. aus einem Kabel bestehenden Verbindungsleitung bilden sowohl die elektrischen Signalverbindungen zwischen den Hörgerätebauteilen des Gehäuseteils und des Ohrpaßstückes sowie die Stromversorgung zwischen einer im Gehäuseteil angeordneten Batterie und den elektrischen Bauteilen des Hörhilfegerätes .In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, an electrical connecting cable is provided which is fitted with jack plugs at its ends and forms a flexible carrying bracket which is adjustable in length as required and can be rotated and bent. The electrical lines of this connecting cable, which consists of a cable, for example, form both the electrical signal connections between the hearing aid components of the housing part and the earpiece and the power supply between a battery arranged in the housing part and the electrical components of the hearing aid.

Vorzugsweise sind in den Tragbügelanschlüssen des Ohrpaßstückes und des Gehäuseteils die Klinkenbuchsen unterge-0 bracht, wobei dem Ohrpaßstück wenigstens ein Mikrofon und einPreferably, the jack sockets are housed in the carrying bracket connections of the earpiece and the housing part, with the earpiece being provided with at least one microphone and one

Hörer und dem Gehäuseteil die Batterie und ein Verstärker zugeordnet sind und wobei ferner ein Ein-/Ausschalter, ein Lautstärkeregler oder weitere Bedien- und Schaltmittel am Ohrpaßstück und/oder am Gehäuseteil angebracht sind. 35The battery and an amplifier are assigned to the earpiece and the housing part, and an on/off switch, a volume control or other operating and switching devices are attached to the earpiece and/or the housing part. 35

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below using an embodiment shown in the drawing.
