Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid with a cup-shaped housing to be worn behind the ear, on one end of which the carrying device is provided the receiver and on the other end the battery are accommodated.
  • the banana-shaped housing has a device height which is relatively large in relation to the device depth, in that the housing shells are joined together in such a way that their shell bases are arranged vertically in parallel planes and the relatively short ones form adjacent outer or inner arches of the housing.
  • This housing design allows only a relatively small battery to be accommodated and only small, difficult-to-use actuators can be provided on the narrow outer arch of the housing.
  • the known hearing aid is constructed in such a way that a receiver is arranged in the upper housing section, which is provided with a carrying device, the microphone in the middle housing section and the battery aligned with the housing longitudinal axis in the lower end section of the housing.
  • a hearing aid that can be coupled with glasses and is worn behind the ear is known, the flat-shaped housing of which is shaped in the middle section to accommodate a battery.
  • a small volume control is provided on the narrow outer arch of the hearing aid housing.
  • This hearing aid is very bulky and therefore striking.
  • the hearing aid according to US Pat. No. 3,031,537 also has a bulky housing shape.
  • the battery is accommodated in the middle housing section.
  • an adjusting wheel for volume control is provided in the hearing device housing, which protrudes only with a peripheral portion from the outer arc of the housing.
  • the housing of the BTE hearing aids is tied behind the ear to the shape and size provided by the space available there, the construction of such a hearing aid depends very much on a space-saving arrangement of the components.
  • the controls provided to control the operation of the device should be easy to use.
  • the invention has set itself the task, in particular to arrange the volume control in terms of its adjustability so that its setting is always controllable.
  • the invention is based on arranging the space-consuming parts at the ends of the housing and those parts which can be distributed well in between in the housing. This allows a very good adaptation of the shape of the device to the space behind the ear.
  • the volume control located at the lower end of the housing by an angle of 90 ° to the longitudinal axis of the housing, the entire rotary control is brought to the surface of the housing. This makes it easy to grasp and easy to set.
  • this volume control can be provided with a tactile marking on its smooth surface, the position of which can be determined by touching the volume control. It has proven to be beneficial to set the volume control to rotate the volume control by 270 ° or, based on a clock, from 000 o'clock to 900 o'clock.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that the housing consists of two shells which adjoin one another in a dividing line which runs along the side walls, so that one shell lies on the inner arch and one shell on the outer arch of the housing.
  • the two shells can be colored differently and produce a favorable effect that makes the device appear more delicate, which is particularly important with regard to the desire of the hearing impaired to be able to wear the device as invisibly as possible.
  • the sound transducers are housed in order to be able to record the sound frontally with the microphone without major losses and on the other hand to direct the sound from the earpiece to the ear canal in the shortest possible way.
  • the two sound transducers are installed in rooms of the housing, which are separated from each other by a plate. This plate can also serve as a holder for a switch by means of which the hearing device is switched on and off and by means of which the recording of signals from the microphone can be switched over to a hearing coil.
  • the space between the transducers and the battery with the volume control can be used to house the amplifier.
  • Such an amplifier can be constructed in a multilayer system. In order to be able to accommodate as many components as possible in the small space, it has proven expedient to use a three-layer system which, with provided several bending zones, the existing space can be adapted particularly well.
  • the actuators can be combined with a hearing coil to form a structural unit which is included in the structure of the amplifier.
  • the volume control is located next to the battery.
  • the volume control is attached to the outer shell and the actual mechanical actuator forms a rotary wheel that lies on the surface of the housing shell and is therefore fully accessible.
  • the rotary wheel can have a knob on its outer surface, the position of which can be felt when touched.
  • the battery compartment is closed with a flap from the inside arch of the housing.
  • a hinge is provided for opening, which lies transversely to the longitudinal extent of the device at the end of the inner arc of the housing. The battery can be replaced quickly and easily.
  • 1 denotes the housing of a rear ear device. It consists of a curved shell 2 which is open to the outside and a shell 3 which is open to the inside. Both are placed with their open sides against one another and thus form the housing 1.
  • a support hook 4 At the upper end of the housing 1 there is a support hook 4 and at the opposite lower end a container 5 for a battery.
  • This container 5 is closed with a lid 6, which can be opened towards the inside of the curved housing 1.
  • the outer arc of the shell 3 has a closure flap 9 approximately in its center and a switch 10 between it and the upper end.
  • a hose 11 is connected to the end of the carrying hook 4, which is penetrated by a switching line channel 22 (FIG. 6) and opens into an elastic ear olive 12, which is used to connect the hearing aid to the user's ear channel.
  • the hearing aid is worn on the ear 15 in such a way that its inner arch lies against the back of the ear root.
  • the hook 4 With the hook 4 it is held on the upper ear base.
  • sound can reach a microphone 18 on the end face 16 through an opening 17.
  • an amplifier 19 located in the central part of the housing 1 and are finally fed to a receiver 20.
  • the sound obtained from the amplified signals passes via a line 21 into the formwork duct 22 located in the support hook 4 (FIG. 6).
  • the amplifier 19 is supplied with energy by the current source accommodated in the room 5.
  • the amplifier 19 is at actuators 26 and 27, whose effect can be changed via adjusting rotary elements 28, 29, also its effectiveness with regard to the transmitted frequency and the effect of very high sound intensities is influenced by an adjustable PC.
  • a switch 10 is, as can be seen from FIG. 5, on a plate 30, where it is fastened in adapted holders 31, 32 and the opening 33 of the housing shell 3. It is used for switching off and for switching over the signal recording by means of a microphone 18 or an induction recording coil 34 which is connected to the actuators 26 and 27 to form a structural unit.
  • the two housing shells 2 and 3 are detachably connected to one another by screws 35 to 38 so that the upper shell 3 can be replaced.
  • the housing shells 2, 3 can be designed in different colors.
  • the power source accommodated in the battery compartment 5 can be replaced after opening the cover 6.
  • the cover 6 is snap-fitted at its outer end to a recess 40 (FIG. 4) by means of a snap attachment 39.
  • the lid 6 is pivotally mounted in a hinge 41 at the lower end of the shell 2.
  • the support hook 4 is screwed to an externally threaded shoulder 42 on the upper end face of the shell 2 of the housing 1. Its bore, i.e. For this purpose, the sound channel 22 is provided with an internal thread at its housing end. In order to cancel the weakening of the support hook 4 obtained by this recess, a metal ring 43 is mounted on the outside of the screw connection.
