Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a housing according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • in-the-ear hearing aids which are predetermined shape of the ear canal in certain areas of the Housing have no creative freedom as well the demand for the greatest possible miniaturization this to disadvantageous space or undesirable Enlargement of the housing dimensions.
  • This Disadvantages also generally exist behind the ear hearing aids to be arranged.
  • the object of the present invention was now to to find a hearing aid housing in which these disadvantages can be at least partially or completely remedied.
  • a housing for hearing aids or Hearing aids which is a housing shell and at least one on the housing shell arranged lid and one of the Has housing shell covered device plate, advantageous at least one electronic or arranged electromechanical element.
  • the surface of the lid which is usually always from The space available from optimally used such devices. In particular hits this to in-the-ear hearing aids, in which the from the outside in Operation directly accessible area practically from the Cross-section of the ear canal is limited and of which Cover occupies a large space.
  • the electronic or electromechanical elements on a control panel the Control panel of this element in the closed state of the Lid can be operated from the outside of the housing shell is.
  • the control unit can be a key switch be about what functions of the hearing aid or Hearing aid set by the user. operated can be.
  • the electronic or electromechanical elements switches, coils or Memory chips.
  • others can too Elements such as a potentiometer for the stepless adjustment of electrical signals used become.
  • the cover preferably has contact elements which in the closed state of the lid with appropriate Contact elements of the device plate in electrical Connection resp. Are in contact. This will be advantageous a simple and reliable connection between the im Cover arranged electronic resp. electromechanical elements and the device plate created. It also becomes a simple advantage Exchanging elements resp. of the whole lid allows without loosening hard-wired connections would have to be.
  • the contact elements are preferably in the form of contact tongues respectively.
  • Contact tabs made of a conductive metal, and preferably have a coating with precious metal or consist entirely of precious metal. So that will on the one hand an optimal electrically conductive connection created which has a high corrosion resistance having.
  • the lid is preferably designed as a battery holder is.
  • the cover thus has elements for holding one Battery as power supply for the hearing aid resp. the Hearing aid on.
  • the lid is closed the battery is fixed inside the housing while it is in open state of the lid can be easily replaced can.
  • the lid is preferably pivotable about an axis in the housing shell or the device plate is stored.
  • the axis can either be stored directly in the device plate or in the housing shell. That is advantageous Axle releasably inserted, so the cover when needed can be easily exchanged.
  • the inventive design of the Housing space optimally used to the necessary Number of external controls available set and on the other hand, these controls simply replace or replace if necessary. So can new functions can be installed afterwards, new ones Items can be replenished or broken items easily can be replaced without the hearing aid or Hearing aid put out of operation for a long time must become.
  • Figure 1 shows the view of an in-the-ear hearing aid 1 with the housing shell 2 adapted to the human inner ear and in this case the device plate 3.
  • a cover 4 can be pivoted in the device plate 3 arranged, shown here in the open position.
  • the cover 4 has a clip 5 for receiving a Battery (not shown), which the hearing aid 1 in Operation powered.
  • the hinge element 9 now in turn has electrical Contact tongues 11 on. These advantageously point out Contact tongues 11 cams 11 'projecting resiliently towards the front to ensure reliable electrical contact with the Contact strips 7 resp. 8 in the swung-in state of the Realize cover 4.
  • the contact tongues 11 are respectively via lines. conductor tracks with the electronic components of the hearing aid resp. of Hearing aid 1 connected. These components are usually either directly on the hinge element 9 or on the device plate 3 arranged.
  • Electrical can be particularly advantageous Components 6, which must be accessible from the outside, such as pressure switches or rotary switches, or on the Must be arranged on the outside, such as Arrange coils to save space.
  • the electrical connection to the electronic in the hearing aid 1 Components is via the contact strips 7, 8, respectively. the Contact tongues 11 guaranteed. It can be done advantageously the cover 4 together with the corresponding one Simply replace component 6, for example with one Defect of this component or for upgrading the Hearing aid 1 with a further or new component 6.
