Abstract

Um ein nicht nutzbares freies Volumen in einem Gehäuse (1; 11) einer Hörvorrichtung zu minimieren, wird eine Hörvorrichtung vorgeschlagen, die ein Gehäuse (1; 11) umfasst, welches eine vorbestimmte Form aufweist, und mindestens eine aktive, elektronische Komponente, die in dem Gehäuse (1; 11) angeordnet ist, wobei die Komponente eine Form aufweist, die an die Form des Gehäuses (1; 11) und/oder an die Form einer anderen Komponente der Hörvorrichtung angepasst ist. Dadurch kann das nicht nutzbare Restvolumen in der Hörvorrichtung minimiert und somit generell eine kleinere Form des Gehäuses erzielt werden.

Figure imgaf001
In order to minimize an unusable free volume in a housing (1; 11) of a hearing device, a hearing device is proposed, which comprises a housing (1; 11) having a predetermined shape and at least one active electronic component, which in the housing (1, 11) is arranged, wherein the component has a shape which is adapted to the shape of the housing (1; 11) and / or to the shape of another component of the hearing device. As a result, the unusable residual volume in the hearing device can be minimized and thus generally a smaller shape of the housing can be achieved.
