Definitions
- the invention relates to a device against the penetration of foreign bodies, in particular cerumen, into a sound transducer and is based on DE-B-12 63 849.
- a device for preventing the penetration of cerumen (ear wax) into a sound transducer which as a cap-shaped hollow body (ear insert) that can be placed on the sound outlet connector (attachment) of a hearing device.
- a cap-shaped hollow body (ear insert) that can be placed on the sound outlet connector (attachment) of a hearing device.
- the porous layer With a pore size of about 0.2 to 0.5 mm and relatively thin partition walls to achieve a large pore density per unit area, the porous layer has a relatively large thickness, which approximately corresponds to the inner cylinder radius of the hollow body.
- the wall thickness of the hollow body is approximately one seventh of the outer diameter of the cylinder. It is therefore relatively thick. Overall, this device requires a large amount of space, particularly in the direction of sound transmission. In addition, two separate components are required to close the sound outlet connector against the penetration of cerumen, the hollow body acting as a holder (additional device) for the porous layer, which in turn prevents the penetration of cerumen and must be renewed regularly, since this porous and therefore cleaning soft material is not possible.
- the object of the present invention is to design a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, with a reduced space requirement, the structure is simple compared to the prior art.
- An additional device - as a separate cap-shaped hollow body as a holder for an inner porous layer (membrane, diaphragm) or an extension which protrudes from the hearing device housing as an extended sound channel - is unnecessary because the inventive one Device also uses an approach, which is necessary anyway for other purposes, on a sound transducer (for example a receiver) as a holder for a membrane.
- a sound transducer for example a receiver
- Reduced space requirements, particularly in the direction of sound propagation (short overall length) are created by arranging the membrane according to the invention in the sound channel which is necessary anyway.
- the term "membrane” means a component that is thin, film-like, sound-permeable and perforated-like.
- the arrangement of the membrane on a projection of a hearing aid component protruding into the sound channel was made possible by using non-porous Material (higher strength) - for which metallic materials are particularly suitable - with extremely thin walls (foil-like).
- Measurements on the occasion of the invention surprisingly showed that with a film-like small wall thickness of the membrane according to the invention, a sound passage bore (for example made with a laser beam) with a diameter on the order of pores on known thick membranes, preferably up to about 0.6 mm, is sufficient to allow largely undisturbed sound passage (low linear attenuation) on the membrane.
- the device according to the invention has a clearly non-linear influence on the acoustics with the effect that with linearly increasing Output level of the sound source creates a non-linearly increasing decrease (attenuation) of the sound permeability on the membrane according to the invention.
- Measurements and tests on the occasion of the invention have shown that with this further novel effect of the device according to the invention, the effect of an electrical output level limiting circuit (peak clipping, PC) and / or an automatic gain control (AGC) can be largely simulated.
- PC peak clipping
- AGC automatic gain control
- the in-the-ear hearing aid according to FIG. 1 has a housing 1, in which, among other things, parts essential to the invention are shown.
- a sound channel 4 extends between an outer end face 2 and an inner end face 3 of the housing 1.
- a receiver 5 projects into the sound channel 4 with its extension 7 having an opening 6, on which a membrane 8 made of non-porous, metallic material is arranged , which has a sound passage bore 9.
- the diameter of the sound passage bore 9 is only a few tenths of a millimeter. It is crucial that the wall thickness of the membrane 8 is chosen to be small compared to the diameter of the sound passage bore 9. A size ratio of approximately 1:10 results in a good sound transmission effect with a wall thickness of approximately 2/100 millimeters.
- the membrane 8 is cap-shaped and made of a deep-drawn material, for example mumetal, as a deep-drawn part. In spite of the small wall thickness, good mechanical stability is thereby achieved, in particular with respect to mechanical cleaning (scraping off) of cerumen, for example with a wire loop.
- the membrane 8 has a cylindrical region 10 and a region 11 which is curved further therefrom.
- the curved area 11 increases the mechanical stability of the membrane 8 and the cylindrical area 10 enables simple clamping attachment to the usually cylindrical extension 7 of the sound transducer, which is shown here as the receiver 5.
- the approach 7 has a diameter of about 1.4 mm and a length of about 1 mm.
- the membrane 8 is completely within of the sound channel 4 is arranged, whereby in connection with the curved area 11 an annular recess 12 is formed within the sound channel 4. Cerumen can accumulate in this annular recess 12, which makes a separate trench formed on the housing 1 unnecessary for the accumulation of cerumen.
- the neck 7 on the receiver 5 is with the membrane 8 attached thereto in a sleeve 13 made of sound-absorbing material, e.g. a silicone tube, held in the housing 1 by means of a snap connection 14 and is also designed as a sound channel.
- the inner diameter of the sound channel 4 corresponds approximately to the diameter of the extension 7. With a low elasticity of the sound channel 4, the inner diameter of the sound channel 4 can be chosen larger up to twice the wall thickness of the membrane 8.
- a recessed arrangement of the sleeve 13 (the overall length is chosen to be shorter than the distance between the outer end face 2 and the inner end face 3 of the housing 1) creates a further annular recess 15 on the outer end face 2 of the housing, in which cerumen also accumulates can. The result is a very long path for the cerumen before it can reach the sound passage bore 9 arranged in the center of the curved area 11 of the membrane 8. This creates large time intervals between the mechanical and thus inexpensive and easy to carry out cleaning of the device.
- the membrane 8 Due to the small wall thickness of the membrane 8, it is also possible to arrange it within (not shown) the opening 6 of the extension 7 of the sound transducer shown here as the receiver 5, which also prevents the penetration of foreign bodies, in particular cerumen, into the respective sound transducer.
- the device is particularly suitable for use in conjunction with a sound transducer designed as a microphone, which is not shown.
- a sound transducer designed as a microphone
- foreign bodies that are larger than the diameter of the opening 6 of the membrane 8 can be kept away from the microphone.
- additional devices such as electrical level limiting circuits (PC, AGC), are also unnecessary and there is no overriding of the electrical hearing aid amplifier the resulting side effects can be avoided.
- FIGS. 2 to 4 The achievable extent of the non-linear influence on the acoustics with the device according to the invention as a function of the level of a sound source and the diameter of the sound outlet opening in a membrane according to the invention is exemplified in FIGS. 2 to 4 on the basis of curves 16 to 22 and 16 ′ to 22 'Shown.
- the wall thickness of the membrane was uniformly set at 0.02 mm in the recorded curves 16 'to 22' and a membrane made of mumetal in the deep-drawing process was always used. All curves were measured on a hearing aid on which a handset was operated with constant current.
