Titel: Høreapparat med telespole samt en fremgangsmåde til reduktion af magnetiske støifelter i et høreapparatTitle: Hearing aid with telecoil and a method for reducing magnetic noise fields in a hearing aid
Den foreliggende opfindelse angår et høreapparat med en telespole samt en 5 fremgangsmåde til reduktion af klir ved drift af høreapparater med telespoler ved kompensation for de i høreapparatet opstående støjfelter.The present invention relates to a hearing aid with a telecoil as well as to a method for reducing claws when operating hearing aids with telecoils by compensating for the noise fields encountered in the hearing aid.
Høreapparater med telespoler kendes fra DE 39 17 548 A1. Her modtager den tunghøre eksempelvis ved telefonering samtalepartnerens signaler ved indukti-10 on uden overføring via et lydfelt. Derudover kan omgivelsens lavfrekvente vekselfelter optages og i høreapparatet ændres til signalspændinger og forstærkes yderligere. Ved høreapparater sker det hyppigt, at der under telespolens drift. indtræder en klirandel, som er høj og derfor virker forstyrrende. Denne klirren ligger hovedsagelig i frekvensområdet under 1 kHz, da høreapparatets strøm-15 forbrug er særligt højt i dette område, og spændingsfaldene frembringer derfor magnetiske støjfelter ved forsyningsledningen. Disse støjfelter overlejrer det ønskede signal. Man har forsøgt at minimere støjfelterne ved en parallelføring af forsyningsledningerne, hvilket imidlertid ikke har kunnet overholdes på grund af de geometriske standardværdier (batterikontakternes og afbryderens positi-20 on) og på grund af udfletning.Hearing aids with telecoils are known from DE 39 17 548 A1. Here, for example, it hears the receiver hearing the caller's signals by inductance, for example, without transmission via a sound field. In addition, the low frequency alternating fields of the environment can be recorded and changed in the hearing aid to signal voltages and amplified further. With hearing aids, it often happens that during the operation of the telecoil. a high proportion of claws occurs which is therefore disturbing. This noise is mainly in the frequency range below 1 kHz, as the hearing aid's current consumption is particularly high in this area, and therefore the voltage drops produce magnetic noise fields at the supply line. These noise fields overlay the desired signal. Attempts have been made to minimize the noise fields by parallel supply of the supply lines, which, however, could not be observed because of the geometric standard values (the position of the battery contacts and switch) and due to the interlacing.
Formålet med opfindelsen er at tilvejebringe et høreapparat, som er udstyret med en telespole, og hvor den af støjfelterne forårsagede klirren kan undgås, og som kan fremstilles i serieproduktion. Det er desuden tilsigtet at anvise en 25 fremgangsmåde til at reducere magnetiske støjfelter og derigennem formindske klirren ved drift af høreapparater med spoler.The object of the invention is to provide a hearing aid which is equipped with a telecoil and where the noise caused by the noise fields can be avoided and which can be manufactured in series production. It is further intended to provide a method of reducing magnetic noise fields and thereby reducing the noise of operation of hearing aids with coils.
Dette formål er ifølge opfindelsen opnået ved hjælp af de i krav 1 og 9 angivne træk. Ifølge opfindelsen placeres en yderligere induktans i nærheden af telespo-30 len. Herved kan der kompenseres for uheldige spredningsfelter, dvs. støjfelter, og derved undgås en høj klirandel i det ønskede signal. Denne ekstra kompensationsinduktans kan desuden realiseres fremstillingsteknisk enkelt.This object according to the invention is achieved by the features of claims 1 and 9. According to the invention, a further inductance is placed in the vicinity of the telecoil. This can compensate for unfortunate spread fields, ie. noise fields, thereby avoiding a high pitch in the desired signal. Furthermore, this additional compensation inductance can be realized from a technical point of view.

Kompensationsinduktansen skal på hensigtsmæssig måde være anbragt og/eller dimensioneret således, at der indtræder en tilstrækkelig magnetisk kobling mellem telespolens og kompensationsinduktansens magnetfelt.The compensation inductance must be suitably arranged and / or dimensioned so that a sufficient magnetic coupling occurs between the magnetic field of the telecoil and the compensation inductance.
5 Følgelig kan kompensationsinduktansen være anbragt parallelt eller antiparallelt med telespolen, således at kompensationsinduktansens feltlinjer er i det væsentlige identisk med telespolens feltlinjer, men anbragt forskudt til siden. Forekomsten af magnetiske støjfelter, dvs. telespoleklirren, undgås derved.Accordingly, the compensation inductance may be arranged parallel or antiparallel to the telecoil, so that the field lines of the compensation inductance are substantially identical to the telecoil field lines but positioned offset. The presence of magnetic noise fields, ie. thereby eliminating the telecoil.
10 Styrken af kompensationen for det af telespolen optagne magnetfelt kan indstilles ved en ændring af kompensationsinduktansens vindingstal og/eller ved en ændring af kompensationsinduktansens afstand, på hensigtsmæssig måde ved en ændring af begge standardværdier.The strength of the compensation for the magnetic field occupied by the coil can be adjusted by a change in the winding number of the compensation inductance and / or by a change in the distance of the compensation inductance, appropriately by a change of both standard values.
15 Der er på fordelagtig måde tilvejebragt en luftspole, især en SMD- (dvs. "surface mounted device") luftspole, som kompensationsinduktans. Sådanne SMD-luftspoler kan på enkel måde bestykkes automatisk.Advantageously, an air coil is provided, in particular an SMD (i.e., surface mounted device) air coil, as compensation inductance. Such SMD air coils can easily be fitted automatically.
Kompensationsinduktansen gennemstrømmes af forsyningsstrømmen eller i det 20 mindste en del af denne. Kompensationens styrke fastlægges ved hjælp af antallet af trådvindinger.The compensation inductance is flowed through the supply current or at least a portion thereof. The strength of the compensation is determined by the number of thread turns.
Kompensationsinduktansens værdi ligger i området 2 - 200 nH, især i området 10 - 120 nH. Den ohmske andel ligger i et område på mindre end eller lig 1 Ω.The value of the compensation inductance is in the range 2 - 200 nH, especially in the range 10 - 120 nH. The ohmic proportion is in an area of less than or equal to 1 Ω.
25 Kompensationsinduktansen gør det muligt at undgå klirren. Samtidig udelukkes, at andre elektriske komponenter i høreapparatkredsløbet påvirkes negativt. Redesign på grund af for høje telespole-klirfaktorer bortfalder, da kompensationen nu kun afhænger af kompensationsinduktansens værdi. Kompensationsinduktansens position er ukritisk, da deraf følgende virkninger kan udlignes ved hjælp 30 af kompensationsinduktansens vindingstal.25 The compensation inductance makes it possible to avoid the rattle. At the same time, it is excluded that other electrical components of the hearing aid circuit are adversely affected. Redesign due to excessive telecoil clutch factors lapses, as compensation now depends only on the value of the compensation inductance. The position of the compensation inductance is uncritical, as the resulting effects can be offset by the winding number of the compensation inductance.
En udformning af opfindelsen forklares nærmere i det følgende under henvisning til tegningen, hvor DK 176409 B1 3 fig. 1 viser en stærkt forenklet, skematisk gengivelse af de væsentlige moduler i høreapparatet ifølge opfindelsen som er udstyret med en telespole og en kompensationsspole og 5 fig. 2 placeringen af kompensationsspolens magnetfelt i forhold til telespolen.An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which FIG. 1 shows a greatly simplified, schematic representation of the essential modules of the hearing aid according to the invention equipped with a telecoil and a compensation coil; and FIG. 2 shows the position of the magnetic coil of the compensation coil relative to the telecoil.

Endvidere er der indrettet en 10 telespole 3, ved hjælp af hvilken en tunghør får mulighed for ved telefonering at modtage samtalepartnerens signaler ved induktion uden overføring via et lydfelt. Endvidere kan den tunghøre herved eksempelvis høre uden baggrundsstøj og efterklang i kirker eller teatre med induktionssløjfer, til hvilke der er tilsluttet nærtalemikrofoner.The FIG. 1 has the reference numeral 1.

Høreapparatet drives ved hjælp af et batteri 5.The signals from the microphone 2 and the telecoil 3, respectively, are amplified in an input amplifier 4, filtered into a low-pass filter 6 and a high-pass filter 7, and fed to a sound transducer 9 via an amplifier setting (GC controller) 8.

Ifølge opfindelsen er der - som det fremgår af fig. 2 - i umiddelbar nærhed anbragt en SMD-kompensationsspole 10 parallelt med telespolen 3, men forskudt til siden i forhold dertil.According to the invention, as shown in FIG. 2 - in the immediate vicinity, an SMD compensation coil 10 is arranged parallel to the telecoil 3, but displaced laterally relative thereto.
25 Støjfeltet omkring en støjkilde 13, som påvirker telespolen 3, har henvisningstallet 11. Kompensationsfeltet bestående af kompensationsspolens 10 feltlinjer har henvisningstallet 12. Kompensationsstrømmen gennem kompensationsspolen 10 har henvisningstallet 14. Det skal bemærkes, at der er en god magnetisk kobling mellem de to spoler 3 og 10. En i og for sig kendt kompensationssløjfe i 30 telespolen 3 erstattes af kompensationsspolens 10 induktans. Derved gennemstrømmes kompensationsspolen 10 af en del af forsyningsstrømmen.The noise field around a noise source 13 which affects the telecoil 3 has the reference number 11. The compensation field consisting of the field lines of the compensation coil 10 has the reference number 12. The compensation current through the compensation coil 10 has the reference number 14. It should be noted that there is a good magnetic coupling between the two coils 3 and 10. A compensation loop known per se in the telecoil 3 is replaced by the inductance of the compensation coil 10. Thereby, the compensation coil 10 is flowed by a portion of the supply current.

Kompensationsfeltets 12 styrke kan fastlægges ved hjælp af kompensationsspolens 10 vindingstal.The strength of the compensation field 12 can be determined by the winding numbers of the compensation coil 10.
Hvis man anvender en SMD-kompensationsspole 10 på aluminiumoxid-5 bærerbasis af konstruktionsstørrelsen 0603, andrager vindingstallet ca. 1-20 vindinger. Induktansen vil da være ca. 2 - 200 nH med en ohmsk andel på maksimalt 1Ω. Følgelig ville denne komponent ikke have nogen negativ indflydelse på andre elektriske komponenter eller parametre i høreapparatkredsløbet.If an SMD compensation coil 10 is used on alumina support base of construction size 0603, the winding number is approx. 1-20 turns. The inductance will then be approx. 2 - 200 nH with an ohmic proportion of maximum 1Ω. Accordingly, this component would not adversely affect other electrical components or parameters of the hearing aid circuit.
10 Kompensationsspolens 10 position er ukritisk, da virkningerne heraf kan udlignes ved hjælp af antallet af vindinger. Ifølge opfindelsen kan dyre redesign på grund af for høje telespole-klirfaktorer derved bortfalde.10 The position of the compensation coil 10 is uncritical, as its effects can be offset by the number of turns. According to the invention, expensive redesign due to excessive telecoil clutch factors may thereby lapse.
