Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hearing aid, especially suitable for wearing on the auricle or behind the ear according to the wording of claim 1.
- Hearing aids worn on the pinna or behind the ear usually point at the output for the acoustic signal a so-called listening angle or a curved acoustic transmission element to which an acoustic Connection hose is plugged on to transmit the Signals or sounds in the ear canal.
- existing Hearing aids which also called the elbow Earhook for connecting the tube to the earmold have to seal and retain the hose usually a flange is attached to the hook. To the to ensure a secure hold of the hose on the earhook, this flange is usually made with sharp edges.
- a hearing aid is proposed, particularly suitable for wearing on the pinna or behind the ear, having an angle piece or a hearing angle according to the Wording according to claim 1.
- the contra-angle handpiece it is possible to add a cylindrical to the thread Provide sealing surface to ensure the reliability of the Sealing at the transition from the contra-angle to the acoustic transmission hose to increase.
- the outwardly protruding contours of the Threads are not rounded but at least almost angled to ensure good restraint of the To ensure hose at the connection of the elbow.
- FIG. 1 shows an elbow 1, also called Earhook, for the connection of an acoustic transmission hose to one Hearing aid 3.
- the conventional elbow has a terminal a flange 5 and a cylindrical sealing surface 7.
- Figure 2 shows analogously a conventional elbow 1, at which, however, only one flange 5 is provided at the end, without the sealing surface 7, as shown in Figure 1.
- FIG 3 shows one attached to the permanent flange Acoustic transmission hose 9, on which in the area of Flange of the elbow 1, a bead 11 is formed. Due to the sharp-edged design of the flange 5, as from Figures 1 and 2 can be seen, a deduction of Hose 9 practically no longer possible without the latter is damaged or even destroyed.
- the invention now proposes and as shown schematically in Figure 4, at one end To provide an elbow or earhook 21 a thread 23 which the acoustic transmission hose is attached to can.
- a thread 23 which the acoustic transmission hose is attached to can.
- FIG. 5 again shows schematically one on the angle piece 21 connected acoustic transmission hose 29, which can either be screwed onto the thread 23, or slipped over the thread in a conventional manner becomes.
- the big advantage of arranging a thread is now that on the one hand the formation of a bead, as shown with reference to Figure 3, largely fails to appear and also the removal of the Acoustic transmission hose 29 significantly simplified is done by screwing it off with ease can be done without the hose damaged or even must be destroyed. The same naturally applies to that Elbow 21, which is not for disconnecting from the hose must be damaged or destroyed.
- connection of the angle piece 21 itself to the hearing device 3 can be done in a conventional way and is not Object of the present invention. In other words can be attached to a protrusion or be screwed onto a thread on the hearing aid 3.
- Figure 6 finally shows a section of the terminal thread 23 on the elbow 21.
- the above Form threads 27 angled or serrated to a Pulling off the hose effectively after assembly to be able to prevent.
- a sealing surface 25 between threads 23 and the wall of the elbow 21 to be provided.
- Contra-angle or earhook is a matter of course just a possible embodiment and the present invention is by no means based on the illustrations limited in the figures mentioned. It is so in particular possible, the terminal thread in any way x Way, with particular attention being paid to that the selected angle shape makes it easy to pull off of the attached acoustic transmission hose prevented becomes.
- the for the hearing angle or the contra-angle materials used are not in themselves the subject of present invention and all of the prior art known materials are usually suitable for the Production of a hearing angle according to the invention.
