Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ITE hearing aid for binaural Supplying a patient with a housing and a Antenna device, which is a preferred transmission direction having.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to to propose an ido hearing aid that is used to communicate with a other IdO hearing aid is able.
  • an ITE hearing aid for the binaural care of a patient with a Housing and an antenna device, which is a preferred Transmission direction, wherein the antenna device is arranged in the housing such that the preferred transmission direction in or on the first ear of the patient attached or inserted state of the hearing aid essentially facing the second ear of the patient.
  • the antenna device comprises an antenna coil.
  • this antenna coil it is possible to use an electromagnetic Transmission path between the two hearing aids to build up in a binaural supply.
  • the IdO hearing aid may be a so-called CIC hearing aid act completely in the ear canal of the Patients inserted. This means that the antenna because of the special orientation itself built into a CIC device can be.
  • the ITE hearing aid typically has a mounting plate, wherein the antenna device at an angle of 10 to 40 ° is arranged to the vertical of the mounting plate. Preferably this angle is about 20 to 30 °. This angle corresponds to the typical inclination angle of the ear canal relative to the connecting line of the two ears of a patient.
  • the mounting plates of the hearing aids, in the left and right Ear used by the patient are usually about aligned parallel to each other. Therefore, if the antenna device with their preferred transmission direction the above having said angle to the mounting plate, are the transmission directions the two hearing aids in the inserted state on a straight line, with the transmission directions to each other are opposite. This is an optimal transmission between the two antenna devices with minimal Energy expenditure possible. It is important to take into account that the mounting angles of the antennas in the left and right Hearing aid in terms of amount are the same, but different signs have.
  • the battery spring As a holding device for the antenna device, a Battery spring used to contact a hearing aid battery become.
  • the battery spring is a boom attached to which the antenna device are attached can.
  • a stable attachment of the antenna device can be guarantee.
  • the attachment of the antenna device on the programming contacts of the hearing aid done.
  • the antenna device attaches or attachable, placed on the programming contacts.
  • This mounting option may be in certain hearing aid designs be beneficial if only in the field of Programming contacts Installation space for the antenna device is available.
  • this attachment variant has the advantage of easy installation.
  • the battery B protrudes through the Mounting plate M. It is held by a battery spring BF. Above the battery B, an electronic module E is indicated.
  • a boom A is attached to the distal end of a bracket K is mounted.
  • the bracket K holds an antenna coil AS.
  • As a spacer to the speaker is a soft rubber piece G1 on the front side of the antenna coil AS attached, which side is near the Clamp K is located.
  • the arm A is angled approximately in the region of its center, leaving the desired Angular position of the antenna coil AS with respect to Mounting plate is achieved. Also the attachment of the boom A on the battery spring BF can be at any angle respectively. Thus, it is possible the terminal K and therefore also the antenna coil AS any spatial angle to give the mounting plate M and their verticals.
  • FIG. 2 the essential components which are also shown in FIG represented from a different perspective, for the sake of clarity, the presentation of the Electronic module E was omitted. Especially here are the to recognize both battery springs BF, between which the battery B is held. On the left battery spring BF is the Outrigger A arranged, the antenna coil AS in the desired Angle ⁇ with respect to the vertical of the mounting plate M holds. From Figure 2 it can be seen further that the antenna coil AS also in a direction perpendicular to the drawing plane is tilted. Together with the angle ⁇ thus results in a specific spatial angle corresponding to the statistical auditory canal angle of the ear canal to the connecting line of the two Ears of a patient corresponds. The preferred direction of transmission the antenna coil AS lies along its axis.
  • the antenna coil AS in the manner described and in the hearing aid on the other side of the hearing aid wearer symmetrically aligned, so are the two antenna coils substantially coaxial with each other. Accordingly can be a wireless connection between both antenna coils be built with minimal energy.
  • an adapter may be provided on the mounting plate M of Hearing aid electronics is plugged.
  • the antenna should be opposite the receiver or speaker are set back.
  • the reason for this is that the hearing aids are essentially are conical and therefore more outward Space is available. This problem occurs in particular on CIC devices that are completely in the ear canal be used.
  • the holder of the antenna coil AS be designed so that the antenna coil when installing not is damaged.
  • the clamp K provides such a gentle Holder dar.
  • the earmolds for ITE hearing aids are basically individual prepared. Therefore, in each hearing aid is a corresponding other installation space available. From several installation trials has it therefore on a statistical average as low, the antenna coil AS, as shown in FIG 1 and FIG 2, in the position next to the battery with a appropriate bracket to the battery spring BF to attach. Thus, the typical footprint of the face-plate cutout becomes through the additional component, the antenna coil AS, not enlarged.
