Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing device comprising a housing and a receiver device which is electrically coupled to the housing having an electronic identification element and which has a receiver connected to an electrical cable with a shielding line.
  • hearing device is understood here to mean any sound-emitting device which can be worn in or on the ear, in particular a hearing device, a headset, headphones and the like.
  • Hearing aids are portable hearing aids that are used to care for the hearing impaired.
  • different types of hearing aids such as behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE), hearing aid with external receiver (RIC: receiver in the canal) and in-the-ear hearing aids (IDO), e.g. Concha hearing aids or canal hearing aids (ITE, CIC).
  • BTE behind-the-ear hearing aids
  • RIC hearing aid with external receiver
  • IDO in-the-ear hearing aids
  • ITE canal hearing aids
  • the hearing aids listed by way of example are worn on the outer ear or in the ear canal.
  • bone conduction hearing aids, implantable or vibrotactile hearing aids are also available on the market. The stimulation of the damaged hearing takes place either mechanically or electrically.
  • Hearing aids have in principle as essential components an input transducer, an amplifier and an output transducer.
  • the input transducer is usually a sound receiver, z. As a microphone, and / or an electromagnetic receiver, for. B. an induction coil.
  • the output transducer is usually used as an electroacoustic transducer, z. As miniature speaker, or as an electromechanical transducer, z. B. bone conduction, realized.
  • the amplifier is usually integrated in a signal processing unit. This basic structure is in FIG. 1 using the example of a behind-the-ear hearing aid shown. In a hearing aid housing 1 for carrying behind the ear, one or more microphones 2 for receiving the sound from the environment are installed.
  • a signal processing unit 3 which is also integrated in the hearing aid housing 1, processes the microphone signals and amplifies them.
  • the output signal of the signal processing unit 3 is transmitted to a loudspeaker or earpiece 4, which outputs an acoustic signal.
  • the sound is optionally transmitted via a sound tube, which is fixed with an earmold in the ear canal, to the eardrum of the device carrier.
  • the power supply of the hearing device and in particular of the signal processing unit 3 is carried out by a likewise integrated into the hearing aid housing 1 battery. 5
  • the loudspeaker In the case of BTE RIC hearing aids, the loudspeaker is outsourced, as mentioned above, from the housing carried behind the ear and is located directly in the ear canal when worn.
  • the loudspeaker also referred to as a receiver, is connected by electrical lines to the housing or the hearing device. It is possible to connect different high-performance loudspeakers to the hearing aid in order to be able to compensate different hearing losses.
  • signals are generally transmitted to the loudspeaker via two electrical lines in the case of hearing aids.
  • a resistance in the hearing aid can be measured.
  • the resistance value indicates the speaker type and provides a corresponding identification information.
  • the signal lines to the loudspeaker and the loudspeaker itself radiate electrical and magnetic energy.
  • This energy or the corresponding fields disturb the operation of the hearing device.
  • the reception range for signals and data to be received externally decreases considerably during these disturbances. This affects in particular remote control commands, wireless transmission of audio signals and wireless programming.
  • the emissions from the signal lines or from the speaker itself also increase the risk of feedback especially in telecoil operation.
  • a simple solution to this radiation problem would be to shield the interfering fields by means of a shielding line.
  • a shielding line Such is for example from the publication WO 2005/020549 A1 a BTE RIC hearing aid known in which the radiation problem with respect to the speaker to be solved by a surrounding this screen housing.
  • the shielding housing is connected to a zero potential or ground of the hearing aid by means of a shielding line.
  • another, fourth line between hearing aid housing and speakers is necessary. This not only leads to a thicker speaker cable, but also to the need for a larger cable connector or a larger speaker jack on the hearing aid. For reasons of space, however, the jack for the speaker cable on the hearing aid should be as small as possible.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to reduce the size of a hearing device with replaceable handset and shielded cables.
  • a hearing device with a housing and a receiver device which is electrically coupled to the housing, which has an electronic identification element, and which has a connected to an electrical cable with Schirmungs effet handset, wherein the Schirmungs effet and the electronic identification element is guided via a common, single-pole connection in the housing.
  • the receiver device preferably has a three-pole plug with two poles for controlling the receiver and a pole for the shielding line and the identification element together. This can be used in the hearing aid housing for the usual control of the handset, a very small three-pin plug or a three-pin socket.
  • the identification element may be an ohmic resistor. This represents a very cost-effective, easily integrable into a plug component for identification.
  • the unipolar connection for the shielding line and the identification element is grounded in the interior of the housing via a capacitor.
  • This high-frequency interference components can flow to ground and the identification element can be evaluated on a DC basis.
  • the single-pole connection can be guided in the interior of the housing to an electrical resistance, so that with the identification element results in a voltage divider, which is evaluated for identification of the receiver device.
  • a voltage divider is a safe and robust means of identification.
  • the single-pole connection can be placed inside the housing to a multiplexer for receiving further input signals.
  • the multiplexer can also serve as an input for a volume control.
  • signal processing components can be used for several different input channels.
  • the Schirmungs endeavor comprises a Schirmungsgewebe. This can be an effective electrical shielding achieve.
  • BTE RIC device Behind The Ear - Receiver In The Canal
  • a hearing aid housing 10 for carrying behind the ear.
  • a socket 11 is integrated to connect an external handset 12 can.
  • the handset 12 is part of a receiver device 13, which is designed here in the form of a loudspeaker or receiver module, which can be inserted into the socket 11.
  • the receiver device 13 has a plug 14 with three pins 141, 142 and 143, each corresponding to a pole.
  • the socket 11 has corresponding terminals 111, 112 and 113 for the pins 141, 142 and 143.
  • the handset 12 is controlled via two lines 132 and 133. These lead into the pins 142 and 143 of the plug 14.
  • the over the two lines 132 and 133 from the hearing aid to the handset 12 to be transmitted loudspeaker signals are generated within the hearing aid housing 10 by an output stage 15.
  • the output stage has two Amplifier 152 and 153. They provide in normal operation, the output signals via the terminals 112, 113, the pins 142, 143 and the lines 132, 133 to the handset 12.
  • These control signals are in FIG. 2 labeled rec1 and rec2.
  • a resistor R2 is integrated in the plug 14. Electrically it is connected to the pins 141 and 142. For identification of the receiver device 13, a corresponding input circuit 16 is therefore provided in the interior of the hearing aid housing 10.
  • the input circuit 16 here has a multiplexer 161, to whose one input the terminal 111 of the socket 11 is connected. At the multiplexer 161 but also other encoders can be connected, an unillustrated volume control, a program button and the like.
  • the output of the multiplexer 161 is fed to an AD converter, not shown. Furthermore, the output of the multiplexer 161 is connected to a voltage source 163 via a resistor R1 and a switch 162.
  • the output stage 15 has a switch 151 with which the one output line 154, which in the operating case the loudspeaker signal rec1 leads, can be disconnected from the amplifier 152 and grounded, so that it leads the potential grd.
  • This switching state is used for the identification procedure.
  • the switch 162 is also brought in the input circuit 16 in the ON position.
  • the multiplexer 161 will automatically scan the identification terminal 111 cyclically.
  • the resistors R1 and R2 constitute a voltage divider whose output voltage includes identification information relating to the receiver device 13. After identification, the switch 151 is folded over again and the switch 162 is opened.
  • a shielding line 131 is wound around them. It is connected at one end to the housing of the handset 12 and at the other end to the pin 141 of the handset identification pole. If appropriate, the shielding line 131 can also be realized as screen fabric around a two-core cable. So that high-frequency interference can be derived via the shielding line 131, the pin 141 and the identification terminal 111, the latter is connected to ground via a capacitor C. Since this is not DC but AC effective, it plays no role in the identification.
  • the identification or detection line is thus simultaneously used to determine the type of earphone as the shielding line.
  • the shield line is connected to the voltage divider potential and not to ground.
  • the detection line as mentioned, connected via the capacitor C with a suitable reference potential (preferably ground). This can be done within the hearing aid housing with a small capacitor component. For example, with a capacitance value of 10 nF, the same shielding effects are achieved as with a fourth, separate and grounded short shield line.
  • FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
  • the integrated into the plug identification element is not an ohmic resistor but a capacitor C1. Therefore, the detection or identification of the receiver type is not done via a DC measurement, but via an AC measurement. Consequently, the identification terminal 111 is connected to an AC measuring circuit 17.
  • the high-frequency disturbances which are conducted via the shielding line 131 into the hearing aid are also derived here via a capacitor, which is designated here by C2.
  • C2 a capacitor
  • This exemplary embodiment is intended to indicate that the receiver device 13 can also be identified via alternating current components such as capacitors or coils.
