Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Hearing aids which can at least largely be inserted into the ear canal are known, for example, from GB-PS 20 70 890.
  • the installation space for the individual parts of the hearing aid is extremely limited, particularly in the case of the so-called channel hearing aids which can be inserted into the ear canal.
  • the arrangement of the individual parts is very important.
  • the largest component i.e. the power source (battery or rechargeable battery) stored in a recess in the outer wall, which closes the housing to the outside in order to maintain the location for it, which usually has the largest diameter in the ear canal. Since this large diameter generally does not go very deep, the arrangement of the power source with its surface parallel to the end wall was chosen. However, a swivel cover is used so that a smooth outer surface is achieved.
  • the invention has for its object in a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 1 Arrangement of the components to be provided, which is space-saving and allows the accommodation of an additional actuator. This object is achieved by the features mentioned in the characterizing part of the aforementioned claim.
  • 1 denotes the housing made of plastic, which is modeled on the shape of the ear canal in which it is to be used. It therefore has the shape of an irregular cone, on the large surface of which a lid 2 of a battery installation space, a rotary knob 3 of a volume control and an opening 4 for the entry of sound into the device can be seen.
  • the cover 2 shown open in the illustration according to FIG. 2 contacts 5 and 6 as well as the actuating element 7.1 of a matching actuator 7 can be seen inside the housing 1.
  • On the inside of the cover there is a battery 8 which is bound to the cover 2 by a holder 9 adapted to the shape of this battery 8.
  • the holder 9 has two tab-shaped projections 11 and 12, which overlap the part 10 at a distance from one another designated by 13 continue the surface of the battery and are bent towards the cover 2, so that they have a clamping effect when the battery 8 is inserted into the holder 9 and hold the battery 8 in place.
  • the cover 2 On its hinge secured with a pin 14, the cover 2 can be folded.
  • the cover 2 has an extension 15 opposite the hinge, which, as can be seen in FIG. 1, protrudes from the large area of the housing 1.
  • the mode of operation of the device can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4. Sound passes through the speech opening 4 to a microphone 20, where it is converted into electrical signals, which then reach an amplifier 22 via lines 21.
  • This amplifier 22 is supplied with power via the battery 8 and its volume can be changed by the actuator 3.
  • a network 23 is also assigned to the amplifier, by means of which the desired pitch of the signals to be transmitted can be set on the actuator 7 by means of its actuating element which is attached to the spring of the contact 6 in the installation space of the battery.
  • a receiver 24 is provided for the audible output of the sound signals, from which sound can be emitted to the ear via a channel 25.
  • the device is switched on by closing the cover 2, the contacts 5 and 6 of the amplifier 22 attacking the battery.
  • the contact 6 enters the space 13 between the resilient mounting tabs 11 and 12, while the second contact 5 engages the circumference of the battery 8.
