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-A 2 070 890.
  • the installation space for the individual parts of the hearing aid is extremely limited.
  • 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 usually 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 to provide an arrangement of the components in a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 1, which is space-saving and enables the practical accommodation of an additional actuator. This object is achieved by the features mentioned in the characterizing part of the aforementioned claim.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective diagram of the external view of a channel hearing aid designed according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows the device according to FIG. 1 with the lid of the battery compartment open
  • FIG. 3 shows schematically the arrangement of the components accommodated in the housing of the device according to FIG. 1 from the point of view 111-111, which is indicated in FIG.
  • FIG. 5 shows a partially broken away view of the installation of an adapter in the battery compartment, seen in the direction of the hint V-V in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 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 recognized.
  • a lid 2 of a battery installation space 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, in addition to the bowl-shaped lower part, two tab-shaped lugs 11 and 12 which, at a distance from one another designated by 13, continue the part 10 over the surface of the battery and are bent towards the cover 2, so that they are inserted when the battery is inserted 8 clamp in the holder 9 and hold the battery 8.
  • 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 reaches a microphone 20, where it is converted into electrical signals, which then reach an amplifier 22 via lines 21.
  • This amplifier 22 is powered by the battery 8 and its volume can be changed by the volume control 3.
  • a network 23 is also assigned to the amplifier, with which the desired pitch of the signals to be transmitted can be set on the adapter 7 by means of its actuating element 7.1 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.
