Abstract

Eine Hörvorrichtung 4 umfasst einen Schallschlauch 6 mit einem schlauchseitigen Kopplungselement 8, und ein Ohrstück 10 mit einem ohrstückseitigen Kopplungselement 12, wobei das schlauchseitige Kopplungselement 8 und das ohrstückseitige Kopplungselement 12 reversibel koppelbar sind. Im Weiteren umfasst das schlauchseitige Kopplungselement 8 einen schlauchseitigen Druckkanal 16 und das ohrstückseitige Kopplungselement 12 einen ohrstückseitigen Druckkanal 18, welche in einem gekoppelten Zustand der Kopplungselemente einen gekoppelten Druckkanal 20 bilden. Dabei wird das schlauchseitige Kopplungselement 8 oder das ohrstückseitige Kopplungselement 12 durch mindestens ein Druckelement 24 unterstützt, welches eine Luftabdichtung des gekoppelten Druckkanals 20 verbessert.

A hearing device 4 comprises a sound tube 6 with a hose-side coupling element 8, and an ear piece 10 with a earpiece-side coupling element 12, wherein the hose-side coupling element 8 and the earpiece-side coupling element 12 are reversibly coupled. Furthermore, the hose-side coupling element 8 comprises a hose-side pressure channel 16 and the ear-piece-side coupling element 12 a earpiece-side pressure channel 18, which form a coupled pressure channel 20 in a coupled state of the coupling elements. In this case, the hose-side coupling element 8 or the ear piece-side coupling element 12 is supported by at least one pressure element 24, which improves an air seal of the coupled pressure channel 20.
