Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing device, in particular a hearing aid, having a programming connection for connecting the hearing device to a programming device and a cover for covering the programming connection.
  • Hearing aids, headsets and other hearing aids are often programmable via a programming interface with a programmer. Therefore, a programming socket is usually provided on the part of the hearing device, with which the programming device can be connected to the hearing device by cable.
  • the contacts of a programming jack are relatively small and therefore sensitive. In addition, it makes sense to protect the contacts of a programming socket from soiling and other environmental influences. For this reason, a programming jack is usually covered with a cap.
  • a BTE hearing aid (behind-the-ear hearing aid) is known in which a compartment for receiving the switching element is provided for easy installation and retrofitting of a switch, in particular a situation switch, in the banana-shaped curved outer end wall of the hearing aid frame. Trained as a flat component switch element is inserted into the drawer-shaped compartment and contacted with its electrical connections with laid in the frame connections of the amplifier circuit.
  • the frame can be covered in the region of the switching element by a housing cover, which has a holder for an actuating element of the probe head.
  • the document describes DE 296 02 921 U1 a BTE hearing aid with a hearing aid components receiving, banana-shaped housing having a pivotable flap on its convex curved outer surface.
  • This flap forms a housing cover for at least one coverable hearing device component and at the same time has at least one holder with a recess for a control element.
  • the object of the present invention is to further reduce a hearing device or a hearing device.
  • a hearing device in particular a hearing device, having a programming connection for connecting the hearing device to a programming device and a cover for covering the programming connection, wherein an electrical operating device for controlling the hearing device is integrated in the cover.
  • the programming port is a programming socket. This makes it possible to make a hearing device with a standard connection more compact.
  • the hearing device according to the invention may comprise a switch as an electrical operating device.
  • this switch can be a button. Since switches occupy a relatively large area on the hearing aid, the advantage according to the invention is particularly significant that the area occupied by the programming terminal is used twice.
  • the electrical operating device may comprise an actuating element.
  • this control element can be used as a volume control or program controller use.
  • control elements usually require a high surface area on the hearing aid, so that a high space saving can be achieved as in a switch, if this control element is integrated into the cover.
  • the cover of the programming terminal may be pivotally mounted on the housing of the hearing device.
  • the cover and the actuating element are mounted by a common bearing element on the housing of the hearing device.
  • the common bearing element may be a bolt. Also by this multi-functionality of the bearing element can be achieved space and weight savings.
  • the cover of the programming terminal having an insertion opening into which an electrical module of the operating device can be inserted.
  • This makes it possible to realize a sufficient fixation of the electronic part of the operating device.
  • the bearing element for. As the bolt protects the electronic module from accidentally slipping out of the cover.
  • FIG 1 shows a perspective view of a cover 1 of a programming socket of a hearing aid, not shown.
  • the cover 1 is pivotally mounted on a bearing pin 2.
  • the programming socket is then below the cover 1. So that the cover can be fixed in a covering state, it has on the opposite side of the bearing bores 3 a groove 4.
  • a snap element of the hearing aid housing releasably engage ,
  • the cover has a lower web 5 and an upper web 6.
  • the upper web 6 has a U-shaped recess 7.
  • the two plate-shaped webs 5 and 6 are spaced from each other so that a mass-produced probe module 8 can be inserted therebetween.
  • This probe module 8 has an actuating surface 9, which is accessible via the recess 7 of the cover 1 from above.
  • An electrical connection of the stylus module 8 to a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is not shown in FIG.
  • the bearing pin 2 can be inserted into the bearing bores 3. The bearing pin 2 then prevents the probe module 8 from sliding out of the insertion opening, which is formed by the two webs 5 and 6, unintentionally.
  • the bearing pin 2 thus represents a rear stop for the probe module 8.
  • the actuator 10 has a nose 12 which is vertically movable in the groove 11 extending into the recess 11 a predetermined distance.
  • the actuator 10 has a bearing bore 13.
  • the actuating surface 9 of the stylus module 8 is designed resiliently, so that the actuating element 10 after actuation, d. H. depressing, being reset.
  • the actuating element 10 has a pin, not shown in FIG 1, which presses through the recess 7 on the actuating surface 9 of the probe module 8.
  • the cover 1 has the shape shown in FIG 2.
  • the actuator 10 can be stored on the bearing pin 2 depress.
  • the bearing pin 2 protrudes in its axial direction slightly beyond the edge of the cover 1, so that it can be stored in a corresponding recess or bore in a hearing aid housing.
  • the actuating element 10 with the aid of the bolt 2 on the cover 1 and the cover itself is also mounted with the aid of the bolt 2 on the hearing aid housing.
  • This integration not only reduces the manufacturing time of the hearing device, but it is also an increased Automation of production possible.
  • overall space is saved and by the multifunctional component, a module is provided, which can be configured depending on the needs with different switches or points.
