Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • HDO hearing aids behind the ear
  • HDO behind the ear
  • the microphone, the amplifier, the controls, the battery and handset housed.
  • a tubular rigid bracket is attached to the housing, which is so curved that it can be hung over the ear, so that the housing is behind the ear cup when worn.
  • the end of the bracket protruding into the housing is acoustic paired with the handset, and the other end becomes a flexible sound tube placed in a passage ends in the earmold.
  • comparatively long sound path is unfavorable because it causes unwanted Losses arise.
  • Unfavorable is also the sound tube, which hardens quickly and is brittle so that it has to be replaced frequently.
  • an HDO hearing aid in which one a hollow shell adapted to the contour of the auditory canal is provided, which has a sound outlet opening facing the eardrum, with a microphone and handset in the area of the sound outlet are arranged.
  • IDO hearing aids in the ear
  • IDO hearing aids where the earmold and the housing with microphone, amplifier, controls,
  • the handset and battery form a unit within the conchae can be attached have the advantage that they are accurate are in the optimal position and that they are not readily indicate that a hearing aid is being used.
  • IDO hearing aids have the disadvantage that due to the limited Dimensions the gain power is limited, and that the operation of the controls because of the small size especially difficult for older people.
  • An IDO hearing aid is e.g. known from EP-A-0 241 594.
  • the invention has for its object a hearing aid to create the type mentioned above, that with higher efficiency works as an HDO hearing aid, and attached to the ear in an anatomical manner can be.
  • the microphone is preferably recessed in the receiver housing arranged so that its sound inlet opening when wearing the Hearing aid points to the rear. This causes annoying wind noise avoided.
  • the handset is interchangeable with the Handset housing, it is possible to connect one adapted to the respective degree of hearing loss of the user Insert the handset into the handset housing when it is initially equipped or an adaptation to a changed degree of hearing loss by simply changing the handset.
  • the shape of a receiver is expediently given to the receiver housing given for portable cassette players so that the outer Impression of a hearing aid is avoided. Because the housing only contains the amplifier behind the ear, this can how the end of a normal temple should be formed the impression of a hearing aid is additionally reduced.
  • the hearing aid contains a housing 1, which in Size and shape of the handset of a conventional portable cassette player corresponds, and a volume control with one of externally accessible knurled wheel 2, a microphone 3 and a receiver 7 contains.
  • the receiver housing 1 is via a tubular connecting element 4 using fittings 5 with a bracket 8 connected, which is formed like the end of a conventional temple is and accommodates a housing 6 in which the amplifier 9 and the battery 10 are located.
  • the fittings 5 can in the Handset housing 1 or the bracket 8 be releasably attached, they can also be glued in.
  • the connecting element 4 is formed from a flexible material that bends the Elements are permitted in all directions and are such that the curved shape is maintained.
  • the connecting element 4 made of plastic overmolded multiple wire exist.
  • the connecting element 4 does not serve to direct the sound here, but takes it the connecting wires between the amplifier 9 and the elements in the receiver housing 1.
  • the microphone 3 is recessed in the receiver housing arranged so that its sound inlet opening to the rear points.
  • the handset 7 is interchangeably attached to the handset housing, wherein the connection contacts 11, for example, bayonet-type with the corresponding contacts in the handset housing in conductive Be brought into contact.
  • the interchangeability of the handset is important, because this makes it possible for the initial equipment a handset adapted to the degree of hearing loss of the user to be used or in the case of a change after prolonged use Degree of hearing loss the listener against a then suitable listener replace, which eliminates the need for the whole hearing aid exchange.
