Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing aid according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a hearing aid in which, for example, the microphone is accommodated in a separate housing, which is mounted on a plurality of elastically formed projections in a further housing unit.
  • WO 2007/1038897 A2 is a micro-electronic device, such as a hearing aid, known in which for the damped storage of electronic components in a receiving housing along parts of the inner wall of the receiving housing an elastic or flexible retaining element is arranged.
  • the holding member has inwardly projecting storage areas for storing or holding an electronic component in position.
  • a suspension of a transmission system as used in electroacoustic devices, such as hearing aids is known.
  • the transmission system is surrounded by a plurality of tubular parts, whereby it is separated from the walls of the female housing.
  • the tubular parts have non-linear spring and damping properties. This is intended to reduce the influence of mechanical feedback.
  • a hearing device is known with an earmold, a housing part which can be worn behind the ear, and a tube of hearing aid which connects the earmold to the housing part.
  • a tube of hearing aid which connects the earmold to the housing part.
  • Damping elements provided in the region of the joints, which dampen mechanical vibrations.
  • a damping element can also be present on or in the receiver tube.
  • EP 0 453 200 A2 is a hearing aid known, which is modular.
  • a microphone of the hearing aid is arranged in an elastic sleeve.
  • the elastic sleeve has arm-shaped suspension elements, via which it is suspended in a housing.
  • the object of the invention is to provide the transducer elements of a hearing aid, such as a hearing aid.
  • An elastically formed damping clip for the transducer elements of the hearing device ensures that they are elastically mounted within the hearing aid. In addition to improving the functional properties of the hearing aid by reducing the mechanical vibrations caused by the transducer elements, it is also ensured at the same time that mechanical deformations on the hearing aid housing do not lead to the destruction of the relevant components.
  • the damping clip preferably has two plate elements, between which a spring element is arranged. At one the two plate elements, the transducer element is fixed, while the other plate member is attached to the inner wall of the hearing aid housing and is supported thereon.
  • the spring element is advantageously made of preferably three spring-shaped clips, which are fastened via their two arms on the respective plate element.
  • At least one outside of the two plate elements is provided in a simple manner with a double-sided adhesive tape.
  • An effective attachment of the microphone is achieved in that the latter is received between two damping clips, both of which are respectively supported on the inner wall of the hearing aid housing.
  • FIGS. 1 and 1b Hearing aid 10 shown below is explained below only in the scope of provided for the transducer elements of the hearing aid damping or fastening means.
  • the hearing aid 10 consists of a cup-shaped housing lower part 12 and a cup-shaped cover part 14.
  • the housing has a support hook 16 at one end.
  • a battery compartment 18 is provided in the housing, which is formed behind a cover 20 and is laterally limited by a pivotable battery door for a battery change.
  • a slide switch 22 is provided in the embodiment.
  • the individual components of the hearing aid 10 are predominantly accommodated in the lower housing part 12, to which essentially an amplifier unit 24 - which in FIG. 2 is shown separately -, a microphone unit 26, a receiver (speaker) 28 and a Telecoil 30 heard.
  • the latter serves to make magnetic signals audible to the listener.
  • a protruding from the housing Stellrädchen 32 is part of a potentiometer, the volume control serves.
  • the two battery contacts are designated.
  • the damping means consists of a damping clip 34, which has two plate elements 36 and 38, between which a spring element 40 is fixed.
  • the spring element 40 consists of three elastically formed clips 40a, 40b and 40c, which are fastened with their arms to the inside of the plate elements 36, 38.
  • the clips 40a, 40b and 40c are preferably made of rubber or deformable plastic, of course, other elastically deformable materials are conceivable.
  • the clasps 40a, 40b and 40c may also be integrally formed.
  • a plate element 36, 38 is provided, for example, with a double-sided adhesive tape 42. If necessary, of course, the other plate member 36, 38 may be provided with such adhesive tape 42 in order to achieve a secure fixation of the damping clip 34 on the inner wall of the housing. However, it can also be provided a different type of attachment.
  • FIG. 4 is the damping clip 34 in the unloaded state and in FIG. 5 shown in the loaded or compressed state.
  • the damping clip 34 is able to deform elastically under pressure, so that on the one hand mechanical vibrations of the microphone unit 26 are effectively damped and on the other destruction and damage to the microphone unit 26 are prevented in mechanical deformation of the housing.
  • FIG. 6 a first damping or mounting arrangement for the microphone unit 26 is shown.
  • two damping clips 34 are used, between where the housing 26a of the microphone unit 26 is elastically mounted.
  • the two damping clips 34 are supported on the inner wall of the hearing aid housing 12, 14.
  • FIG. 7 A second embodiment of the attachment of Telecoil 30 is in FIG. 7 shown.
  • the damping clip 34 is fixed by means of the adhesive tape 42 to the housing inner wall.
  • mechanical vibrations are also effectively damped by the elastically formed damping clip 34.
  • FIGS. 8 to 13 Further embodiments of the damping clip are shown, which differ from each other, especially with regard to the spring element 40.
  • the plate elements 36, 38 do not differ in their basic construction from those described above.
  • the spring element is simply U-shaped, in FIG. 9 ring-shaped, in FIG. 10 twice S-shaped, in FIG. 11 simply S-shaped, in FIG. 12 twice U-shaped and in FIG. 13 Coil spring shaped.
  • FIG. 14 an embodiment of the damping clip is shown with modified spring element 41.
  • the illustrated variant comprises only one plate element 36.
  • two support arms 50 are arranged on the plate member 36.
  • the support arms 50 each have a resilient suspension 41.
  • the suspensions 41 are suitably tapered and S-shaped to produce the desired elasticity.
  • the Telecoil 30 is elastically supported by the suspensions 41.
  • the desired damping characteristics adjust the elasticity of the suspensions 41.
  • the elasticity of the suspensions 41 plays the same role with respect to the damping properties as the elasticity of the spring element of the preceding described embodiments.
  • damping means or their corresponding arrangements are not limited to the described embodiment of a hearing device, but rather they can also be used in other hearing aid types, for example in the so-called “in-ear device” (IdO).
  • IdO in-ear device
