Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an adapter, in particular a programming adapter for hearing aids.
  • the information transfer (control data) between the hearing aid and the programming system is often ensured by a cable.
  • One end of the cable is connected to the programming system with a plug, and the other end of the cable, on which a second plug is provided, is connected to the hearing aid for programming.
  • a mating connector is provided on the hearing aid at a suitable point. After the device has been adjusted (programmed), the cable is removed again.
  • this object is achieved according to the invention in that it has a plug in a head part for connecting an audio or programming cable, and the plug is also arranged on the head part Connected pieces of contact, which are used in operation to come into contact with fixed contacts in the battery compartment of the hearing aid and to create the connection to the hearing aid electronics, the adapter being dimensioned such that after removal of the battery compartment cover with the battery held in it, it is connected to the other Can be inserted into the battery compartment.
  • the invention thus makes use of the relatively large battery compartment either way to carry out the programming process by temporarily using the adapter instead of the battery compartment cover with the battery held therein.
  • Said contact pieces are preferably arranged in both side walls of the head part and, after the adapter has been inserted into the battery compartment, come into contact with the corresponding counter-contacts in the battery compartment and thus with the hearing aid electronics.
  • the adapter can also be used as an audio input (connection to a telephone, etc.).
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show an adapter with a head part 1 and in the opposite side walls 2 and 3 arranged contact pieces 4 and 5 and 6.
  • the contact pieces 4 and 5 serve e.g. the supply of the hearing aid via a power source in the programming system and contact piece 6 of the data transmission.
  • a plug 7 is optionally used interchangeably.
  • Fig. 3 shows schematically a section through a so-called face plate 8 with injected or cast-in contact springs 9, 10, which are provided in normal operation to come into contact with the battery poles (corresponding contact springs are of course also provided on the other side wall ), or to create the connection with the contact pieces 4-6 of the adapter and the hearing aid electronics when the adapter is inserted.
  • a battery 11 is held in the swing-out cover 12 of the battery compartment, the cover with the battery being removed for programming and simply replaced by the adapter according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the solution according to the invention also has the advantage that the battery is certainly not in operation during programming and can lead to errors (the device is supplied via the cable during programming).
