Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing aid in particular suitable for wearing on the auricle or behind the ear according to the wording of claim 1.
  • hearing aids worn on the auricle or behind the ear have at the output for the acoustic signal a so-called hearing aid or a bent acoustic transmission element to which an acoustic connection hose is plugged for transmitting the signal or sound into the auditory canal.
  • This arranged on the hearing aid transmission device including tube to the ear canal is conspicuous, fits usually not optimal to the anatomical events, and also can be due to the bending and heels in the acoustic transmission channel impedance jumps or disturbances in the sound transmission.
  • a pre-formed connecting tube made of a stiff material for the transmission of the acoustic signal. It is disadvantageous that virtually every tube is specially adapted to the particular anatomy of an ear.
  • a hearing aid is proposed, in particular suitable for wearing on the auricle or behind the ear, in accordance with the wording of claim 1.
  • the invention proposes to arrange a tubular connection element at the acoustic output for connecting the output with a tube for sound or acoustic transmission in the ear canal whose bending angle ⁇ 80 ° is.
  • connection element i. the inner diameter of the acoustic transmission channel in the connection element corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the hose, so that the latter can be introduced into this acoustic transmission channel.
  • hose firmly in the connecting element, for example by means of gluing, welding, by non-slip forming of the interface between hose and connecting element, etc.
  • connection part for directly connecting the acoustic output to the hose, such as by forming a connecting piece, collar, etc.
  • connection element The turn of the acoustic output of the hearing aid in the direction of the entrance of the ear canal can be achieved on the one hand by a curved formation of the connecting element, whereby commercially available usually flexible connecting hoses can be used. But it is also possible to form the connection element largely straight and to use an at least partially pre-bent sound tube.
  • Fig. 1 is shown schematically in section a hearing aid 1, having at its upper end an acoustic output 3, to which today a so-called hook 5 is arranged.
  • a hose is plugged for the transmission of the acoustic or sound signal on or in the ear canal of an ear.
  • a shortened connecting element 7 on the acoustic output 3 of the hearing aid 1 is now proposed instead of the mentioned hearing angle to arrange, in which connection element 7 of the sound tube 9 is guided.
  • the hose 9 is preferably performed directly on a nozzle or connection nipple 13, which is formed on the acoustic output 3 of the hearing aid 1 above.
  • the tube 9 is guided into the connection element 7, wherein the provided in the connection element 7 acoustic channel 8 has an inner diameter which corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the tube 9.
  • the tube 9 is held firmly on the acoustic output 3 of the hearing aid 1 by the connection element 7 is rotated and held on a thread 11 at the acoustic output.
  • the hose 9 is fixedly connected to the connection element 7, for example by gluing or welding, so that it is impossible to tear it out.
  • a pre-bent tube 9 can be used, which is preferably optimally adapted to the anatomy of the ear. Since it is known that no ear is the same as the other, the hose to be used is preferably selected from a series of "standard" pre-bent hoses. In general, connecting element 7 and the hose 9 form a unit, so that a selection of different angle / hose combinations is possible.
  • a hose offered today on the market it is also possible to produce the bend on the hearing aid by means of a correspondingly more curved connecting element, as shown schematically and in section in FIG Fig. 3 shown. Contrary to the connection element in Fig. 2 is that in Fig. 3 much more bent and has an angle of about 60 to 70 °.
  • a tube 9 which is usually offered today can be pushed through the acoustic passage 8 of the connection element 7 and in turn be firmly connected to the connection element. So that the bending during the insertion of the tube 9 is maintained, wedge-shaped fixing points 15 are preferably provided in the connection element 7.
  • the acoustic transmission tube 9 is again pushed onto a connecting piece or connection nipple 13 at the acoustic output opening 3, whereby a largely continuous transition in the sound or acoustic transmission channel can be achieved.
  • connection element 7 and sound transmission tube 9 which manifests itself in particular in reducing the conspicuousness when wearing a hearing device.
  • a largely continuous transmission of the sound can be achieved and, moreover, the bending is largely uniform, so that the occurrence of impedance jumps or jumps in the sound transmission can be avoided or reduced.
  • the Acousticians change a sound tube separately and the contra-angle is preserved.
  • connection element 7 As well as the sound or acoustic transmission tube 9 can be done in various ways. Only the fact that the connecting element has a bend of at least ⁇ 80 °, is an essential distinguishing feature compared to today commonly used hooks or listening angles.
