Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • behind-the-ear hearing aids are widely in use, with the sound transmission via the external auditory canal to the eardrum.
  • the sound is recorded by the microphone of the hearing aid, amplified according to audiological specifications and emitted via the galvanically coupled receiver.
  • At the listener outlet is usually a hearing angle above the pinna for receiving a sound tube, which leads by means of an earmold in the outer ear canal.
  • the sound amplified by the hearing aid radiates via the sound tube and the sound channel above and then in front of the auricle via the otoplastic directly into the auditory canal and thus onto the eardrum.
  • in-the-ear hearing aids have been proposed that do not have this disadvantage, especially if the visible surface of the in-the-ear hearing aid is adapted to the skin color of each patient.
  • a disadvantage of these arrangements is that the ear canal is closed, so it is no longer open, which is perceived by many patients as unpleasant.
  • No. 3,844,271 A proposes connecting a hearing aid arranged behind the ear to the actual loudspeaker or earpiece by means of a connecting element with a plug to be inserted into the ear.
  • This connecting element is to be passed directly through the pinna, and the puncture takes place in the helix and the antihelix, wherein in some embodiments, the connecting element is visible from the outside.
  • the ear is completely closed and the connecting element is arranged so far outside the head bone, that it is in a rotational movement z. B. must necessarily be disturbing in bed.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the known hearing aids to the effect that a possible invisible hearing aid can be done, but at the same time the sound transmission is improved and the ear canal is not completely closed.
  • This object of the invention is achieved by the proposal to provide aadosdes outward between temporal bone in the area Pars petrosa and auricle with its free end through an opening in the ear canal leading, in the ear canal otherendes opening tubular body, in the region of the free end of the sound absorbs and at the auditory end the eardrum sonicated.
  • the tubular body is connectable at its free end to the sound outlet opening of a behind-the-ear hearing aid and on the other it is proposed that the tubular body itself is designed as a hearing aid and in the region of the free end of the microphone and on the auditory side End carries the phone. It is possible that the tube body is extended to the upper approach of the auricle and opens forward and here carries the microphone.
  • connection of the tubular body to an earring is possible, which is then provided with the microphone.
  • the tube body is connected to a behind-the-ear hearing aid, it is important that a light but tight connection is possible, and so it is proposed to use a provided between the sound outlet of the hearing aid and a sound conductor sealing sleeve, which is an almost dead , but soundproof connection of the wall of the sound outlet nozzle with the wall of the sheep line z.
  • the retroauricular tubular body allows.
  • the tubular body may be made of plastic, but is preferably made according to the invention of titanium, thus having the required strength and tissue compatibility. If the tubular body is made of titanium, it is preferably formed in three parts and consists of an ear piece, an outer piece and a connecting body, wherein the ear piece and the outer piece can be screwed into the connecting body, thereby simultaneously length adjustments of the actual tubular body are possible.
  • the tubular body when the tubular body is made of titanium, it appears advantageous to ensure that a secure position of the tubular body is ensured in the body opening, which is preferably achieved in that the outer side of the tubular body is made non-slip. This can be done once by a corresponding roughening or partial compression of the outside, but can also be done in the same way that on the outside a kind of thread is attached, which then also gives the possibility to adjust the tube body in the body opening without skin injuries. Of course, these measures can also be provided if the tubular body is made of plastic.
  • a hearing aid is provided which is provided with a sound transmission opening behind the ear, preferably between temporal bone in the area of the pars petrosa and auricle, so that the sound guide is not visible from behind through an opening in the outer ear, d.
  • a body opening is made in the ear canal and thus the eardrum can be sonicated.
  • 1 denotes a tubular body, one of which ends in the ear canal 4 and the other end opens between the back of the auricle 7 and the temporal bone.
  • this mouth formed as a sound inlet opening 2 (FIGS. 2 and 3) can simultaneously be designed as a microphone 3.
  • Within the tubular body 1 is located at the other end, which opens freely in the ear canal 4, as shown in FIG. 3, a handset 6 and there are the other electrical components 5 can be seen.
  • the ear is drawn from the front and it is the auditory canal 4 recognizable, in which the tubular body 1 is located, which opens now after penetrating a body opening freely behind the ear between temporal bone and pinna.
  • the tubular body 1 is extended upward and now opens at the top of the auricle 7 and is there equipped with a microphone 3, so that the recording of the sound waves can be done from the front.
  • tubular body 1 leads from behind through an opening in the outer ear into the auditory canal 4. In this way it is achieved in any case that from the outside not the auricle 7 must be bypassed via a sound tube, this sound tube is also usually visible.
  • a behind-the-ear hearing device 11 can be seen, which is provided with a hearing angle, i. H. a sound outlet pipe 8 is equipped.
  • a sound outlet connector 8 includes a sound conductor 9, which may be formed as a separate component or can also be formed directly through the tubular body 1.
  • Decisive in this presentation is the connection of the sound conductor 9 or the tubular body 1 to the sound outlet nozzle 8, wherein the sound outlet nozzle 8 is provided with a sealing sleeve 10, which is a virtually stress-free, but soundwave-tight connection of the wall of the sound outlet nozzle 8 with the wall of the retroauricular sound conductor. 9 allows, this sealing sleeve 10 is provided on the outside of the sound outlet nozzle 8 and thus lies within the sound conductor 9 or the tubular body 1.
  • the actual tubular body 1 may be made of plastic, but also made of metal, then preferably made of titanium, which is particularly tissue-friendly.
  • a tubular body 1 which consists of titanium and is composed of three parts, namely an earpiece 12, a connecting piece 15 and an outer piece 14, which opens behind the ear. These three items are connected by screwing together, wherein the outer piece 14 has an external thread as well as the earpiece 12 and the actual connector 15 is provided with corresponding internal threaded portions.
  • This type of training has the advantage that length adjustments both inside the ear canal as well as outside the ear are possible by now the outer piece 14 relative to the connector 15 is displaced in length as well as the earpiece 12, in the length opposite the connecting piece 15th can be moved.
  • the tube body 1 may be provided according to FIG. 6 with densities, which then lie on both sides of the body opening.
  • Fig. 7 shows that it is possible to insert into the tubular body 1 a device support tube 16 to which all required electrical or electronic components can be attached, which form the actual hearing aid, which is now arranged in the tubular body 1.
  • the device support tube 16 is resiliently fixed by spring tabs 17 in the tubular body 1 and in the component 14, and in this case can also be provided that between the Automaterohr 16 and the inside of the pipe section 14 an insulating pipe is arranged, which now contributes to a better sound conduction.
