Abstract

Ein Ohrhaken (12) soll an einem Hörgerätegehäuse (10) auf einfache Art dicht befestigt werden können. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass der Ohrhaken (12) an dem Hörgerätegehäuse (10) ansteckbar ist. Eines von den beiden Teilen: Hörgerätegehäuse (10) und Ohrhaken (12) weist ein Schallaustrittsrohr (11) auf, das in eine entsprechende Öffnung (13) in dem anderen Teil einsteckbar ist. Die beiden Teile sind durch eine Magnetverbindung in axialer Richtung bezüglich des Schallaustrittsrohrs (11) lösbar aneinander befestigt. Die Magnetverbindung sorgt für einen dichten Sitz der beiden Komponenten aneinander und ermöglicht dennoch ein Verdrehen dieser beiden Komponenten relativ zueinander.

An ear hook (12) should be able to be tightly attached to a hearing aid housing (10) in a simple manner. For this purpose, it is provided that the ear hook (12) on the hearing aid housing (10) can be attached. One of the two parts: hearing aid housing (10) and ear hook (12) has a sound outlet tube (11) which can be inserted into a corresponding opening (13) in the other part. The two parts are releasably secured to each other by a magnetic connection in the axial direction with respect to the sound outlet tube (11). The magnetic connection ensures a tight fit of the two components to each other and still allows twisting of these two components relative to each other.
