Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid with a housing to be worn behind the ear according to the preamble of claim 1, i.e. Hearing aids with a housing to be worn behind the ear, in which components for amplifying and adapting the sound signals to the type and extent of the hearing impairment of a hearing impaired person are accommodated. These are usually a microphone, amplifier, power source, hearing coil and handset, as well as controls for adjusting the volume, timbre and other settings that affect the operating data of the amplifier, such as automatic gain control (AVC) or tip clipping (PC).
  • AVC automatic gain control
  • PC tip clipping
  • the invention is based, to assign the actuator and in particular the actuator heads centrally to the actuator aperture in a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 1. It is also an object of the invention to hold the actuators in such a way that they are not moved or torn off when actuated. The objects are achieved according to the invention according to the measures indicated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective diagram of a hearing device equipped according to the invention and to be worn behind the ear
  • FIG. 2 shows the top view of the device from which half of the housing has been removed
  • FIG. 3 shows a view of the device with the rear wall of the device removed and curved outwards
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross section corresponding to IV-IV (FIG. 3) through a structural unit according to the invention, which is attached to an amplifier plate,
  • FIG. 6 shows a cross section through a structural unit corresponding to FIG. 4 with a combined mounting part.
  • 1 denotes a hearing aid to be worn behind the ear, the housing of which is composed of two shells 2 and 2.1. At the lower end of the housing a battery drawer 3 is visible and at the upper end a carrying hook 4 with which the device 1 is worn behind the ear.
  • the hook 4 is continued at its free end with a tube 5, which opens into an ear olive 6, which can be inserted into the ear canal, so that the amplified audio signals reach the ear directly.
  • a control wheel 8 On the rear side of the device 1, which is curved convexly outwards, there is a control wheel 8 for the volume above a closure flap 7 and a switch 9 below the flap 7.
  • the device works in its mode of operation in accordance with the usual devices of this type in that a sound signal, which enters the device through an inlet opening 10, arrives at the microphone 11, is converted there into electrical signals, which are transmitted in an amplifier 12 by means of the electrical energy of a battery 13 amplified and then converted back into sound signals in a receiver 14. These amplified signals finally pass through a formwork channel 15, which continues as channel 16 in the hook 4 to the hose 5 and finally to the ear olive 6.
  • the amplifier 12 consists of components 17 which are mounted on a mounting plate 18. On this plate there is a spring contact 20 at the lower end for taking the current from the battery 13 and a second contact below the battery, which is not visible in the figure.
  • the plate On its edge facing the convex side of the housing of the hearing device 1, the plate carries a structural unit 21 in which actuators 22 to 25 and a hearing coil 26 are combined. (See parent application 0 140 078).
  • the coil 26 can be switched on by means of the switch 9 in the position T indicated in FIG. 1, which in the figure causes the connection of the amplifier to the microphone in the M position. When the switch is set to 0, the device is switched off.
  • the actuators contained in the assembly 21 are accessible by opening the flap 7 into the position 7.1 indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2, so that the actuators 22 to 25 can be adjusted on their actuators 27 to 30.
  • the steeper 22 is used to set a tip clipping (PC).
  • PC tip clipping
  • FIG. 3 it is switched off, as can be seen from the direction of the screw slot of its actuating member 27 which can be adjusted with a screwdriver.
  • the actuator 23 is used to switch on an automatic gain control (AGC) and is set to a maximum gain of 90 dB. As can be seen from the other digits of the label, settings of 60 and 75 dB could also be selected.
  • AGC automatic gain control
  • the amplifier is regulated according to the position on L so that the transmission of low frequencies is preferred. With a position on N, i.e. normal, uniform transmission of all frequencies would be achieved.
  • the actuator 25 which is switched off in the illustration, the high frequencies could be preferred when set to H, while with N, as with the actuator 24, a uniform transmission of all frequencies would be achieved.
  • the actuators 22 to 25 and the hearing coil 26 are attached to a holding part 35.
  • This part shown separately in FIG. 5 in a side view has recesses 50 to 53 in which the actuators 22 to 25 fit.
  • it also has an extension 36, on which a correspondingly designed eyelet 37, which is located on the hearing coil 26, can be attached.
  • the actuators 22 to 25 are located side by side in the illustration shown in FIG. 3.
  • the actuators 22 to 25 are located on a curved surface which corresponds to that according to which the rear of the housing 1 is curved.
  • the winding 38 of the hearing coil 26 is injected into a plastic body 39, on which an extension 40 is located next to the eyelet 37.
  • This approach closes the openings for the steepnesses 22 to 25 after the installation space of the amplifier, while the opposite side is closed by the holding part 35 itself.
  • the upper side 41 of the part 35 forms the end of the installation of the actuators 22 to 25.
  • the mounting plate 18 of the amplifier 12 forms the still free end at the bottom.
  • the attachment to this part is carried out by means of tabs 42 to 45 of the steepers 22 to 25, which protrude from the holder 35 after being inserted into the holder and can be inserted into the plate 18. They are soldered there for attachment and for connection to the circuit of the amplifier 12, as indicated in FIG. 4 by 46.
  • the curvature of the wall 40 which can be seen from FIG. 5 and is designated by 47, achieves mechanical stabilization of the arrangement as well as the curvature of the part 35.
  • the part 35 also has a recess 48 in which the extension 36 is located, onto which the eyelet 37 can be attached.
  • the recess 48 also has a shape adapted to the eyelet 37, which is narrowly defined with respect to this eyelet 37, as well as the openings for the actuators 22 to 25, indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 5, for the actuators 22 to 25. This ensures that the assembly becomes mechanically stable when it is plugged together so that it can be attached to the mounting plate 18 of the amplifier 12 as a component.
  • a simplification and further stabilization of the structure can be achieved by including the holding part 35 in the plastic body 39 of the hearing coil 38 in addition to its own parts 37 and 40, as shown in FIG.
  • a further stabilization of the structural unit can be achieved through the compact mounting part 56.
