Abstract

Eine Hörvorrichtung und insbesondere ein Hörgerät soll hinsichtlich der Rückkopplungsgefahr optimiert werden. Daher wird eine Hörvorrichtung mit einem Gehäuse(10), das eine erste Öffnung (11) und eine zweite Öffnung (23, 24) aufweist, und einem Rahmen (12), in oder an dem eine Signalverarbeitungskomponente (13) befestigt ist, und der in die erste Öffnung (23, 24) des Gehäuses bis zu einer Endposition einschiebbar ist, vorgeschlagen. In dem Gehäuse (10) ist eine Rampe (30) angeordnet, die mit dem Rahmen (12) so zusammenwirkt, dass der Rahmen (12) beim Einschieben in das Gehäuse (10) entlang einer Einschubrichtung nur in einem Abschnitt bis zur Endposition, der kleiner als 30% der Einschubstrecke von der ersten Öffnung bis zur Endposition ist, auch senkrecht zu der Einschubrichtung zu der zweiten Öffnung (23, 24) hin bewegt wird, wobei die Signalverarbeitungskomponente in der Endposition schalldicht gegenüber dem Innenraum des Gehäuses (10) an der zweiten Öffnung (23, 24) anbringbar ist.

A hearing device and in particular a hearing aid should be optimized with regard to the risk of feedback. Therefore, a hearing aid is provided with a housing (10) having a first opening (11) and a second opening (23, 24) and a frame (12) in or on which a signal processing component (13) is mounted, and in the first opening (23, 24) of the housing can be inserted to an end position, proposed. In the housing (10) has a ramp (30) is arranged, which cooperates with the frame (12) that the frame (12) when inserted into the housing (10) along a direction of insertion only in a portion to the end position, the is less than 30% of the insertion distance from the first opening to the end position, is also moved perpendicular to the insertion direction to the second opening (23, 24), the signal processing component in the end position soundproof with respect to the interior of the housing (10) on the second opening (23, 24) is attachable.
