Definitions

  • the invention relates to a receiver tube for connecting a receiver of a hearing aid and a hearing aid with such a receiver tube.
  • Hearing aid apparatus generally have a housing in which a microphone, an amplifier and a receiver (so-called receiver) are arranged.
  • a power supply is required, usually in the form of a rechargeable battery.
  • the handset is connected to an acoustic output of the housing to be able to direct acoustic output signals of the listener out to the ear of a hearing aid user.
  • IDO in-the-ear hearing aid
  • HDO behind-the-ear
  • the housing is usually connected to a carrying hook by which it can be hung on the pinna.
  • the suspension hook has an acoustic channel, which directs the output signals of the listener to the hearing aid wearer's ear.
  • the listener is connected to the acoustic channel for this purpose.
  • a hearing aid disturbing feedback may occur when acoustic output signals from the listener to the microphone. Because the recorded in the microphone acoustic signals are then amplified and played back by the listener.
  • the soundproof connection prevents acoustic output signals within the housing from reaching the microphone directly.
  • the handset can be glued with a tube leading to the exit or support hook tube.
  • adhesive bonds have the disadvantage that they only conditionally releasable and can be restored, which is required for example when replacing the handset.
  • a hearing aid is previously known in which a hose is provided between the housing and the microphone, which is in each case connected to a reversible snap connection.
  • the receiver is surrounded by a corresponding in the form of the receiver capsule and stored vibration damped.
  • the EP 1 248 496 A2 describes a damper device for a listener.
  • the damping device comprises a cup-like holder and a cap arranged opposite the receiver for this purpose.
  • From the EP 1 587 344 A2 discloses a modular hearing aid apparatus, in which a receiver tube is designed with a cup-like receiver connection, in which a handset is used.
  • the receiver connection here has an integrally formed bracket, which engages around the receiver in the assembled state in a form-fitting manner.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connection of a listener to a receiver tube, which ensures good acoustic stability and low feedback inclination, it is inexpensive to produce, and has a high impact strength.
  • the term listener tube should be understood to mean a connecting piece between the acoustic output of the listener and an acoustic output opening of the housing of a hearing aid. This may be a tube leading directly to a housing opening, or a tube leading to the acoustic channel of a carrying hook or a tube forming the acoustic channel.
  • the hose can be round or have any cross-sections, in addition it can be elongated or extremely short.
  • the invention achieves this object by means of a receiver tube having the features of independent claim 1 and by a hearing aid apparatus having the features of claim 5 and by a receiver having the features of independent claim 6.
