Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing aid.
  • Hearing aids are nowadays predominantly designed as so-called BTE (behind the ear) to be worn hearing aids.
  • a housing of the hearing aid which has a battery and a corresponding electronic component, attached behind the ear of a patient and fixed, for example, with a headband or the like in this position behind the ear.
  • a so-called earmold is used in the ear canal, which is connected via a cable with the hearing aid behind the ear. Since the cable extends above the ear, it is attached or connected to a substantially upwardly directed side of the housing of the hearing aid, for example via a corresponding connector.
  • the housing of the hearing aid must have a microphone for receiving sound waves.
  • US Pat. No. 7,016,512 B1 discloses a BTE / CIC hearing aid and a modular connector system therefor with a speaker module that generates an audio signal from an electrical drive signal.
  • DE 10 2007 009 748 A1 discloses a hearing aid with a connecting means for releasable connection with an insertable into the ear canal earpiece.
  • the housing further comprises a substantially upwardly and / or forwardly directed top wall. More preferably, the top wall on an exposed in use position surface on which a microphone of the hearing aid is attached or attachable. Further preferably, the exposed in use position surface with the microphone in an acoustic connection.
  • the acoustic connection feature includes in particular that an opening is arranged on the top wall, in particular on the free surface of the top wall, and the microphone is directed towards the opening in the interior of the housing. It is also possible that, starting from the top wall or the opening, a channel leads to the microphone.
  • the channel may be a hose, a pipe, an injection molded component, etc.
  • the channel can be flexible or rigid.
  • the top wall or the surface of the top wall can also be tapered compared to the remaining top wall be educated.
  • the top wall in the area of the acoustic connection or coupling can be thinner in cross-section than in the remaining area.
  • the attachment or the orientation of the microphone is inconspicuous.
  • moisture, in particular water and / or particles, in particular dirt reach through a microphone opening in the interior of the hearing aid.
  • a region is arranged which has a plurality of small openings, so that, for example, an exchange of air is possible, but a particle exchange difficult or even prevented.
  • a microphone may face or be acoustically coupled to the top wall of the housing, or may even be attached to the top wall of the housing this is not occupied by the connector or the cable of the hearing aid. In this way, sound coming from the front can be picked up by the microphone as well or better as sound coming from the back or from the side. Accordingly, listening essentially corresponds to natural hearing.
  • the housing of the hearing aid is substantially arcuate, preferably to abut flat against the back of the ear. In this way, the hearing aid is comfortable to wear. Furthermore, the front wall of the housing is directed toward the back of the ear when worn or preferably flat against it. In addition, the housing preferably has a rearwardly directed rear wall, side walls and a substantially downwardly directed bottom wall.
  • the front panel gently and smoothly abuts the back of the ear to provide the patient with a comfortable fit.
  • the connector comprises a circuit board provided with contact pads, which in the connected state with resilient contacts of a in contacting the housing with the mating connector.
  • the circuit board in the connector can thus simultaneously serve as a connector for contacting the resilient contacts of the mating connector so that the circuit board can perform two functions simultaneously, namely, picking up electrical or electronic components and connecting wires of the cable to corresponding contacts of a cable matching connector. Additional terminal fittings, contacts, sockets and plugs or the like are thus not required, so that the connector can be miniaturized and at the same time can perform certain electrical and electronic tasks by accommodating corresponding electrical and / or electronic components in the connector.
  • the fact that the circuit board is mounted in the connector provides the connector with enhanced, improved functionality. For example, it is possible that in a defect of the electronics in a simple manner, the connector can be exchanged and not the hearing aid must be disassembled and laboriously repaired. Further, it is possible for a single connector type to be manufactured and this type of connector to work with a variety of different types of hearing aids because electronic tuning is enabled due to logic mounted on the circuit board.
  • the hearing aid can be further reduced because a complex wiring in the hearing aid is not necessary.
  • a seal is arranged between the housing and the connector, which is preferably made of silicone or Viton and is preferably glued to the connector.
  • the connector is substantially completely sealed with the housing of the hearing aid, so that the penetration of sweat, dirt, water or the like into the housing of the hearing aid can be avoided.
  • the connector engages on one side, preferably on the opposite side of the cable, at least one first engagement projection occur with the housing of the hearing aid, and has on the opposite side at least a second engagement projection for engaging with a locking pin, wherein the locking pin in the housing of the hearing aid between a release position in which the at least one second engagement projection is released, and a securing position is displaceable in which the locking pin engages with the at least one second engagement projection to secure the connector to the housing of the hearing aid.
  • the connector can be easily connected to the housing by inserting the connector into the housing so that the first engagement projection engages the housing of the hearing aid and the connector is pivoted in this state toward the housing, so that when flush with the connector on the housing of the hearing aid, the locking pin for securing the second engagement projection of the connector can be actuated.
  • the locking pin is slidably mounted in the housing, so that the locking pin between a release position, in which the at least one second projection is released, and a securing position is displaceable, in which the locking pin with the at least one second engagement projection engages to the Secure connector to the housing of the hearing aid.
  • the locking pin is slidably mounted in the housing such that the locking pin is manually, in particular without the need for a tool, i. merely by actuating e.g. is displaceable with a finger between the release position and the securing position.
  • the locking pin can be connected captively to the housing by a locking member which can be mounted in the housing of the hearing device.
  • the locking pin is fixed by the locking member in the housing such that the locking pin is displaceable only between the release position and the securing position, but can not be removed from the housing, as long as the locking member is in the housing by the locking member with corresponding surfaces or stops of the locking pin engages to a emergence or falling out of the locking pin from the Prevent housing.
  • the connector housing has on one side, preferably on the opposite side of the cable, at least one first engagement projection for engaging the housing of the hearing aid and has on the opposite side at least one second engagement projection for engaging a locking pin.
  • the connector housing has at least two housing components that are bonded and sealed together by ultrasonic welding, and wherein an outer housing component has a curved shape, in particular a slightly curved shape, to terminate flush with the contour of a front wall of the housing of the hearing aid.
  • the bonding operation can simultaneously effect a sealing of the housing components.
  • the provision of an additional seal, a sealant or the like is thus not necessary, so that the assembly and manufacture of the connector housing is simplified.
