Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid device which can be worn on the head of a user and has a device part which can be inserted at least partially into the auditory canal of the user and a connection piece connecting the device part to the earpiece, the hearing aid device having at least one input transducer for receiving it an input signal and conversion into an electrical input signal, a signal processing unit for processing and amplifying the electrical input signal and generating an electrical output signal, a receiver for converting the electrical output signal into an acoustic output signal and a voltage source for supplying power to the hearing aid, wherein the signal processing unit in the Device part and the listener are arranged in the earpiece and wherein the connector electrical conductors for electrically connecting the signal processing unit with the Includes handset.
  • From the DE 29801567 U1 is a portable behind the ear hearing aid with an insertable into the ear canal of a user earmold and the hearing aid to the earmold connecting flexible mounting bracket known in which the handset is located in the earmold and the mounting bracket electrical lines for connecting the handset with the behind the Ear-portable hearing aid includes.
  • the mounting bracket is detachably connected by jack and jack sockets with both the behind the ear portable hearing aid and with the earmold.
  • a sound tube to the sound outlet of the hearing aid.
  • the sound outlet of a hearing aid is often provided with a cerumen protection device.
  • a cerumen protection device Used as a cerumen protection device a membrane and in particular a closed, ie non-porous membrane used, so for the barometric pressure equalization venting for the trapped between the listener and the membrane volume is required. This closed-loop ventilation ensures that the static pressure on both sides of the membrane is the same and corresponds to the ambient air pressure. As a result, a distortion of the membrane is avoided with the resulting acoustic disadvantages.
  • the handset itself also requires a ventilation of the receiver diaphragm for barometric pressure equalization of the volume enclosed between the receiver diaphragm rear side and the receiver housing and not connected to the sound outlet opening of the receiver.
  • an opening usually in the form of a precision bore, is provided in the housing of the listener.
  • the hole in the receiver housing and the holes in the receiver membrane must be small in order to avoid acoustic feedback and not unnecessarily reduce the efficiency of the listener. They represent acoustically a low pass with a common cutoff frequency in the range of 1 Hz or an acoustic voltage divider with a strong attenuation.
  • Hearing aid handset and in particular the ventilation holes of such handset are very vulnerable to contamination, which is why the ventilation is usually in the device interior of the hearing aid, in which a relevant handset is used, directed.
  • the surrounding hearing aid housing protects the small one Bore from direct contact or direct connection to the ear canal in which the hearing aid in question is used.
  • the air exchange with the outside air required for barometric pressure equalization then takes place via already existing leaks in the hearing aid housing, for example in the area of the battery compartment or operating elements.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to improve the ventilation of a listener for barometric pressure equalization in a hearing aid with a portable outside of the ear canal device part and a portable ear canal in the ear canal, in which the listener is located. This object is achieved by a hearing aid with the features of claim 1.
  • the hearing aid device according to the invention can be subdivided into at least three sections.
  • the device part comprises at least the signal processing unit, which is usually designed as a digital signal processor.

  • controls on / off switch, program switch, volume control, etc. can be located on the housing of the device part.
  • the hearing aid according to the invention comprises an ear piece protruding at least partially into the auditory canal of the user when the hearing aid is worn, in which the listener is in an acoustic output signal for converting the electrical output signal generated by the signal processing unit.
  • the earpiece itself may have a housing adapted to the individual anatomical conditions of the user or a universally fitting housing.
  • the ear piece can also be provided with a holding part, for example a so-called "olive", for fastening the ear piece and for sealing the auditory canal.
  • the earpiece in order to achieve a so-called "open supply" in which the user's ear canal is as far as possible not sealed by the earpiece, the earpiece can essentially consist only of the listener encased in a plastic coating.
  • the device part and the ear piece are connected to each other via a connecting piece, in which the electrical leads for electrical connection of the signal processing unit are guided with the listener.
  • the connector is usually also the holding function for the behind the ear portable device part. It is for this purpose preferably elastically deformable and has a certain rigidity. Due to its holding function, it can also be called a "mounting bracket".
  • the entire housing of the hearing aid could be integrally formed.
  • device part ear piece and connector together, which are joined together detachably or permanently.
  • screw, clamp, snap, snap, or other compounds are advantageous screw, clamp, snap, snap, or other compounds possible.
  • An insoluble bond is formed, for example, by gluing together the relevant components.
  • the ear piece of the hearing aid according to the invention has a sound outlet opening, via which the sound generated by the listener is emitted into the auditory canal of the user.
  • this sound outlet is advantageously provided with a cover.
  • a microporous membrane or a closed membrane for example made of metal, a metal alloy or an elastic plastic used, it can be prevented in addition to the ingress of dirt and the ingress of moisture.
  • the membrane is preferably supported on a support, e.g. a plastic ring, applied and thereby releasably connected to the ear piece.
  • a support e.g. a plastic ring
  • connection techniques are applicable for creating a detachable connection, e.g. Screw, clamp, snap, snap or other connections.
  • the membrane can also be glued to the ear piece, so that a non-destructive replacement is not possible.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to effect a ventilation of the receiver and in particular of the volume enclosed between the receiver and the cerumen-protection membrane via a channel which connects the earpiece to the interior of the housing of the component.
  • This has the advantage that the ear piece air and waterproof are formed can and the existing in the housing of the listener or in the receiver diaphragm openings for the required barometric pressure equalization are effectively protected from moisture and pollution.
  • the housing of the device part thus acts as an accumulator for penetrating dirt, thereby preventing clogging of the pressure equalization openings of the listener.
  • the hearing aid 1 is composed according to the embodiment of the three sub-areas of equipment part 2, earpiece 3 and connector 4.
  • the device part 2 is designed to be worn behind the ear of a user and the earpiece 3 with the earpiece 14 contained therein is inserted into the ear canal of the user when worn.
  • the earpiece 3 is dimensioned so that it does not close the auditory canal of the user.
  • the hearing aid 1 is thus designed for "open supply" of the user.
  • the device part 2 comprises a microphone 5, which receives an acoustic input signal via a sound channel 6 and a housing opening 7.
  • the housing opening 7 may be provided with an air-permeable cover.

  • a battery or an accumulator 12 is used to ventilate the device part 2 whose housing comprises a housing opening 35, which is covered with an air-permeable membrane 36.
  • the handset 14 converts the electrical output signal supplied via the electrical conductors 19 and 22 and the electrical receiver connection contacts 16 into an acoustic output signal and outputs this via the sound outlet opening 15 of the receiver 14.
  • a moisture and impermeable membrane 17 This is fixed in the embodiment of a membrane support 18 which is releasably inserted into the earpiece 3. This allows the membrane to be replaced with a suitable tool.
