Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device of this type is described, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,137,431.
  • the known connections for electrical signals are used in particular for introducing signals from an external microphone, for example one that is located in a telephone receiver or that is part of an ear training device.
  • an external microphone for example one that is located in a telephone receiver or that is part of an ear training device.
  • sound signals from other signal generators such as radio and television receivers, can also be introduced directly into hearing aids.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a hearing aid device according to claim 1, in which the structure of the space amplifier can be at least significantly simplified. This object is achieved in the hearing aid device mentioned at the outset with the features of claim 1.
  • the space amplifier previously required in hearing training devices can be significantly simplified when using hearing devices with a connection for deriving signals from the microphone (audio output). Except for a microphone amplifier with student talk button, all other parts that were previously necessary can be omitted. In addition to adjusting the different microphone levels, all other functions of the usual place amplifiers can be performed by the hearing aid. Furthermore, no headset (combination of handset and microphone) is required at the student seats.
  • the microphone amplifier can also be replaced by the hearing aid amplifier.
  • the student speak button is taken over to switch on the respective hearing aid microphone from the school system into the connecting line to the hearing aid, only the actual connecting coupling remains of the known equipment of the student places.
  • FIG. 1 denotes a hearing aid, the housing 2 of which contains the individual parts of the electrical structure and is worn over the upper attachment of an ear 4 by means of a hook 3.
  • This device functions in the usual way by amplifying sound that enters through an opening 5 via a circuit as shown in FIG becomes.
  • signals to be reproduced can also be supplied to the device 1 via a connection 10. These signals are recorded, for example, in a microphone 47 (FIG. 5), which is part of an ear training system.
  • the supply takes place via a line 11.
  • the device 1 has a connecting piece 12 (FIG. 3), on which contacts 13, 14 and 15 are located.
  • the contacts 13 to 15 and 13.1 and 14.1 are connected to lines 16, 17 and 18 and 16.2 and 17.2 in the interior of the device which represent the actual connections to the corresponding parts 20 to 24 of the circuit of the hearing device 1.
  • the contact 15 represents a common line for signals that are to reach the receiver 20 and that are to be derived from the microphone 21.
  • the actual signal lines represent the line 16 for the signal line, ie the audio input, the line 17 and for the sound signal line, ie the audio output.
  • the hearing aid 1 comprising a microphone 21, an amplifier 22 with a preamplifier part 22.1, a volume control 23 as well as a power amplifier part 23.1 and a receiver 20 is per se of a conventional design, the energy being supplied from a current source 24, for example a small battery.
  • a signal recorded in the microphone 21 can be taken from the hearing device 1 between the contacts 13 and 15 or 13.1 and 15 depending on the wiring.
  • the acceptance before or after the preamplifier 22.1 can be advantageous, for example in order to prevent crosstalk from occurring or to adapt the output power to different cable capacities of the system.
  • the amplifier 22 operates as a linear amplifier without influencing the frequency and generally without influencing the dynamics.
  • the signal between contacts 13 and 15 can be picked up from the entire amplifier or 13.1 and 15 from part of it, it is also possible to route the signal through the entire amplifier 22 by connecting between 14 and 15 by connecting between 14.1 and 15 only via the volume control 23 and the power amplifier 22.2.
  • the choice of the connection can be adapted to the existing conditions.
  • 30 denotes the teacher station of an ear training system.
  • student stations 31 to 34 are connected.
  • Hearing aid devices 35 to 37 which are designed according to the invention, are located at the school stations 31 to 33.
  • Pupil 34 is vacant.
  • the student places 31 to 34 each contain a place amplifier 38 to 41 and a push button switch that serves as a talk button 42 to 45.
  • a corresponding key 46 is also accommodated between the teacher microphone 47 and the teacher position amplifier 48.
  • the connecting lines 11 between the student places 31 to 34 and the respective hearing aids 1 represent detachable connecting lines.
  • the connecting lines 16 to 18 of each hearing device 1 can be connected via the three wires 16.1, 17.1 and 18.1 of line 11 are connected via connection 10 to student places 31 to 34 and teacher place 30.
  • the function of the training device does not differ from that of conventional training devices.
  • the main difference is that instead of the headphones and microphone sets which are generally used, hearing aids 1 designed according to the invention are used.
  • the hearing can be optimally designed by individually adapting the devices 1 and, on the other hand, no additional microphones need to be set up because the students' microphones 21 and the teacher microphone 47 are sufficient for using the system. If one of the participants wants to speak a contribution into the system, he presses his talk button and closes one of the switches 42 to 46. Then the respective microphone 21 or 47 is activated via ent speaking amplifier 22 or 38 to 41 or 48 effective so that a signal comes via line 18.1 to the respective listener 20 of a student hearing aid 1.
