Abstract

Hörgeräte mit einem HdO-Teil und einem IdO-Teil sollen leichter eingesetzt werden können. Hierzu wird ein starres Verbindungselement (V) vorgeschlagen, das das HdO-Teil mit dem IdO-Teil verbindet. Alternativ kann das Verbindungselement (V) aus einem Memorymaterial bestehen oder eine Federkomponente aufweisen, so dass das IdO-Teil automatisch in den Gehörgang eingedrückt wird. Vorteilhaft ist auch eine schraubenförmige Nut (N) um das IdO-Teil, die ein "Einschrauben" in den Gehörgang aber auch eine Belüftung für offene Versorgung gewährleistet.

Hearing aids with a BTE part and an ITE part should be easier to use. For this purpose, a rigid connecting element (V) is proposed, which connects the BTE part with the ITE part. Alternatively, the connecting element (V) consist of a memory material or have a spring component, so that the ITE part is automatically pressed into the ear canal. Also advantageous is a helical groove (N) around the ITE part, which ensures a "screwing" into the ear canal but also a ventilation for open supply.
