Abstract

L'objet de l'invention consiste à obtenir un appareil auditif derrière l'oreille plaisant d'un point de vue esthétique avec une petite surface avant et des propriétés acoustiques améliorées. L'invention propose pour cela un appareil auditif avec un boîtier (21, 31) à porter derrière l'oreille d'un porteur d'appareil auditif qui comporte un connecteur enfichable (23, 43) pour la connexion avec le conduit auditif (25, 35, 45) ou le tube acoustique. Le connecteur enfichable (23, 43) est agencé sur une paroi latérale du boîtier (21, 31). L'agencement latéral du connecteur enfichable l'écarte de la position exposée sur la face avant frontale du boîtier. Cela permet en règle générale de rendre la face avant frontale du boîtier au mois visible de l'avant plus petite dans le cas des boîtiers portés derrière l'oreille. Un perfectionnement particulièrement avantageux prévoit au moins deux microphones (22), l'une des positions (27) des microphones étant disposée dans la zone de la face avant frontale du boîtier (21, 31). La position frontale du microphone s'écarte ainsi d'une part plus d'une position éventuellement recouverte par le pavillon de l'oreille, d'autre part la position frontale du microphone disposée plus en avant permet aussi de déplacer plus vers l'avant la position arrière du microphone. Les positions de microphones sont ainsi presque horizontales, ce qui favorise la résolution spatiale du bruit ambiant reçu (caractère directionnel) par le traitement de signal de l'appareil auditif.
