Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing device with a hearing device housing and a covering device, which covers a region of the hearing device housing.
  • hearing aid housings are preferably designed in a skin-colored hue.
  • the wearers of hearing aids have different skin or hair colors. Therefore, it is advantageous if the color of the housing can be adapted to the carrier. For this purpose, the entire housing had to be replaced. This requires disassembly of the device by means of tools and can only be performed by qualified personnel. When the housing is removed, the sensitive electronics of the hearing aid are exposed and must be completely rebuilt and calibrated with new, colored housing shells. This is particularly costly for sensitive hearing aids with directional microphones. Furthermore, the opened device is easily damaged.
  • the object of the present invention is thus to enable a simple optical adaptation of the housing, which can be carried out by the end customer itself without much effort.
  • this object is achieved by a hearing aid according to claim 1.
  • the covering device of the hearing aid according to the invention is configured in the shape of a sphincter, so that the region of the hearing aid housing to be covered can be at least partially surrounded, so that the covering can be clamped onto the hearing aid without difficulty.
  • the covering device is preferably designed as a cover shell.
  • the area of the hearing aid housing covered by the covering device is lowered in a recessed manner.
  • the attached covering device closes substantially flush with an uncovered region of the hearing device housing.
  • the hearing aid is designed such that the cover can be fastened and / or removed without the aid of additional tools. In this way, the end customer can replace the cover itself.
  • the cover covers the entire area of the hearing aid housing, which is visible when worn.
  • “wearing the hearing device” is to be understood as meaning the wearing of the hearing device by a hearing aid wearer, as is the case with the hearing aid wearer intended use of the hearing aid is worn, ie on the ear.
  • the term "area that is visible when worn” is understood to mean that area of the hearing device housing which, when the hearing device is used as intended, can be seen by a third person, eg in the case of a rear-end ear device the upper area of the housing.
  • the invention further relates to a covering device which can be used with the hearing aid according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a hearing device housing arrangement 1 with a housing 10 and a cover device 20.
  • the illustrated hearing aid housing assembly 1 is for a behind-the-ear hearing aid. It is designed such that the covering device 20 covers the area of the hearing device housing which is visible during wear and which is visible when worn above the external ear.
  • FIG. 2 shows the hearing aid housing arrangement 1 'with the covering device 20' in the state removed from the housing 10 '.
  • the cover 20 ' is clasp-shaped configured and can be without the use of other tools on the housing 10 'plugged, snapped or clamped.
  • the housing may consist of several shell parts, as is known in the art.
  • the cover device may be a plastic injection molded part, a plastic sheet deep drawn part, a stamped and bent metal part, or the like.
  • the covering device can be made in a variety of colors according to the skin or hair color of the wearer. It is also possible to design the covering device in fashionable colors.
  • the covering device is flush with the uncovered region 12 of the housing 10, 10 '.
  • the hearing aid housing arrangement according to the invention enables a simple and uncomplicated adaptation of the housing, which can also be carried out by the end customer himself.
  • the illustrated embodiment shows a behind-the-ear hearing aid.
  • the hearing device housing arrangement according to the invention with housing and covering device for an in-ear hearing device, so that the covering device covers at least a part of the externally visible region of the in-the-ear hearing device.
