Abstract

A hearing aid fitting for a behind-the-ear hearing aid possesses two sound inlet apertures on different sides of the fitting. One sound inlet aperture faces toward the head and the other faces in the opposite direction. Both sound inlet apertures are connected to a channel leading to the behind-the-ear hearing aid. An insertable sealing stopper that is shaped to fit the aperture is provided for each sound inlet aperture. One of these sealing stoppers seals the sound inlet aperture facing the head. The two sealing stoppers may be of different color or exterior side texture for differentiation one from the other.

Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Hörgerätewinkel für HdO-Hörgeräte.The invention relates to a hearing aid angle for BTE hearing aids.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Derartige Hörgerätewinkel, die auch als Tragehaken bezeichnet werden, werden mit dem Gehäuse eines Hinter-dem-Ohr-Hörgerätes (kurz: HdO-Hörgerätes) verbunden, beispielsweise verschraubt oder zusammengeklipst. Bei den bekannten Hörgerätewinkeln liegen die Schalleinlaßöffnungen auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Hörerwinkels. Die zu beiden Seiten vorgesehenen Schalleinlaßöffnungen erlauben es, die bekannten Hörgerätewinkel unabhängig davon zu verwenden, ob sie zur Ankopplung eines hinter dem rechten Ohr oder hinter dem linken Ohr zu tragenden Hörgerätes dienen.Such hearing aid angles, which are also referred to as carrying hooks, are connected to the housing of a behind-the-ear hearing aid (in short: BTE hearing aid), for example screwed or clipped together. In the known hearing device angles, the sound inlet openings lie on opposite sides of the receiver angle. The sound inlet openings provided on both sides allow the known hearing aid angles to be used regardless of whether they are used for coupling a hearing aid to be worn behind the right ear or behind the left ear.

Im Tragezustand liegt jeweils eine der beiden Schalleinlaßöffnungen am Kopf bzw. an den Haaren an. Eine solche Lösung ist ungünstig, weil in die dem Kopf zugewandte Schalleinlaßöffnung unter anderem Schmutz und Schweiß eintreten können. Außerdem können durch diese kopfseitige Schalleinlaßöffnung störende Raschelgeräusche auftreten, die durch die Haare verursacht werden.In the wearing state, one of the two sound inlet openings lies against the head or hair. Such a solution is disadvantageous because dirt and sweat can enter the sound inlet opening facing the head, among other things. In addition, this head-side sound inlet opening can cause annoying rustling noises, which are caused by the hair.

DIE ERFINDUNGTHE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Hörgerätewinkel der als bekannt vorausgesetzten Art so auszubilden, daß er als Tragehaken für beide Ohren geeignet und gegen eine Verschmutzung weitgehend geschützt ist.Starting from this prior art, the invention has for its object to form a hearing aid angle of the type presupposed as known so that it is suitable as a hook for both ears and is largely protected against contamination.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Merkmalen des Schutzanspruchs 1.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Preferred embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Hörgerätewinkel kann durch die Verwendung des passenden Verschlußstopfens die zum Kopf weisende Schalleinlaßöffnung verschlossen werden, während die nach außen weisende, gegenüberliegende Schalleinlaßöffnung unverändert bleibt. Das Vorsehen eines Verschlußstopfens erlaubt auch das bei Bedarf mögliche Öffnen der durch einen Verschlußstopfen geschlossenen Schalleinlaßöffnung. Durch das Verschließen wird der Schmutzeintritt von der Kopfseite ausgeschlossen. Die durch die Haare verursachten Raschelgeräusche werden vermindert.In the hearing device angle according to the invention, the sound inlet opening pointing towards the head can be closed by using the appropriate sealing plug, while the sound inlet opening facing outwards remains unchanged. The provision of a sealing plug also allows the sound inlet opening, which is closed by a sealing plug, to be opened if necessary. Closing prevents dirt from entering from the top. The rustling noises caused by the hair are reduced.

Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Hörgerätewinkels ergibt sich durch eine unterschiedliche Gestaltung der unterschiedlichen Stopfen. Diese unterschiedliche Gestaltung kann beispielsweise eine unterschiedliche Farbe sein. So kann man beispielsweise das rechts zu tragende Hörgerät mit einem roten Verschlußstopfen kennzeichnen und das links zu tragende Hörgerät mit einem blauen Verschlußstopfen. Eine solche Kennzeichnung hat erhebliche praktische Bedeutung, da in der Regel die Einstellung der Hörgeräte für unterschiedliche Seiten unterschiedlich ist. Durch die Kennzeichnung ist eine Verwechslung der Geräte nicht möglich, wie sie insbesondere auch nach Abnehmen der Otoplastik, z.B. zur Reinigung, sonst relativ leicht erfolgen kann. Es ist auch möglich, die unterschiedliche Kennzeichnung durch unterschiedliche Oberflächengestaltungen vorzunehmen, so daß eine Identifikation auch durch Blinde oder Farbfehlsichtige gewährleistet ist.Another advantage of the hearing aid angle according to the invention results from a different design of the different plugs. This different design can be a different color, for example. For example, the hearing aid to be worn on the right can be marked with a red plug and the hearing aid to be worn on the left with a blue plug. A such labeling has considerable practical importance, since the setting of the hearing aids is usually different for different sides. The labeling does not make it possible to mix up the devices, as can otherwise be done relatively easily, especially after removing the earmold, for example for cleaning. It is also possible to carry out the different identification by means of different surface designs, so that identification is also guaranteed by the blind or those with defective color.

KURZBESCHREIBUNG DER ZEICHNUNGSABBILDUNGBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING ILLUSTRATION

Nachstehend wird eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Hörgerätewinkels anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben. Die Zeichnung zeigt eine schematische, perspektivische Darstellung des Hörgerätewinkels mit zwei passenden Verschlußstopfen in Explosionsdarstellung.A preferred embodiment of the hearing aid angle according to the invention is described below with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows a schematic, perspective view of the hearing aid angle with two matching sealing plugs in an exploded view.

BESTER WEG ZUR AUSFÜHRUNG DER ERFINDUNGBEST WAY OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Der Aufbau des Grundkörpers des Hörgeräteträgers ist gegenüber bekannten Lösungen unverändert. Der Hörgerätewinkel besitzt einen Flansch 2, an den das HdO-Hörgerät angeschraubt oder angeklipst werden kann. Zu seinen beiden Seiten befinden sich Schalleinlaßöffnungen 1 und 5. Die Schalleinlaßöffnung 1 ist sichtbar dargestellt, die Schalleinlaßöffnung 5 ist nicht sichtbar, sie liegt der Schalleinlaßöffnung 1 auf der anderen Seite des Hörgerätewinkels auf gleicher Höhe gegenüber und ist spiegelsymmetrisch zu 1 ausgebildet.The structure of the base body of the hearing aid wearer is unchanged from known solutions. The hearing aid bracket has a flange 2 to which the BTE hearing aid can be screwed or clipped on. There are sound inlet openings 1 and 5 on both sides thereof. The sound inlet opening 1 is shown visibly, the sound inlet opening 5 is not visible, it lies on the other side of the hearing aid angle of the sound inlet opening 1 opposite each other and is mirror-symmetrical to 1.

Die beiden Schalleinlaßöffnungen 1 und 5 sind in der dargestellten Ausführungsform durch eine Trennwand 4 voneinander getrennt. Beide Schalleinlaßöffnungen 1 und 5 münden in einem gemeinsamen Schalleinlaßkanal 3, der mit einem entsprechenden Anschlußbereich des nicht dargestellten Hdo-Hörgeräts verbunden ist.The two sound inlet openings 1 and 5 are separated from one another in the embodiment shown by a partition 4. Both sound inlet openings 1 and 5 open into a common sound inlet duct 3, which is connected to a corresponding connection area of the Hdo hearing device, not shown.

Zum Verschließen der Schalleinlaßöffnung 1 bzw. 5 sind spiegelsymmetrisch ausgebildete Verschlußstopfen 1a und 5a vorgesehen. Die Verschlußstopfen 1a und 5a sind so ausgebildet, daß sie glatt und ohne Überstände in die Schalleinlaßöffnungen einsetzbar sind und beispielsweise kraftschlüssig und/oder formschlüssig mit dem Grundkörper des Hörgeräteträgers verbunden werden können. Die unterschiedlichen Verschlußstopfen sind auch aus ihrer Einsetzlage leicht wieder entfernbar. Es wird jeweils nur diejenige Schalleinlaßöffnung verschlossen, die beim Tragen des HdO-Hörgerätes zur Kopfseite weist.To close the sound inlet opening 1 and 5, mirror plugs 1a and 5a are provided. The sealing plugs 1a and 5a are designed such that they can be inserted smoothly and without protrusions into the sound inlet openings and can be connected, for example with a force fit and / or a form fit, to the base body of the hearing aid wearer. The different plugs can also be easily removed from their inserted position. Only that sound inlet opening is closed which faces the head side when the BTE hearing aid is worn.
