Definitions

  • the invention relates to a module for installation in a housing of a hearing aid device and to a hearing aid device with such a module.
  • a hearing aid People who suffer from hearing impairment usually use a hearing aid. Ambient sound is usually recorded by means of an electromechanical sound transducer. The acquired electrical signals are processed by means of an amplifier circuit and introduced into the ear canal of the person by means of a further electromechanical transducer. Different types of hearing aid devices are known. The so-called “behind-the-ear devices” are worn between the skull and the auricle. The introduction of the amplified sound signal into the auditory canal takes place here by means of a sound tube. Another common embodiment of a hearing aid device is an "in-the-ear device” in which the hearing aid device itself is inserted into the auditory canal. The auditory canal is consequently at least partially closed by means of this hearing aid device, so that apart from the sound signals generated by the hearing aid device, no further sound - or only to a greatly reduced extent - sound can penetrate into the auditory canal.

  • the mounting end of the grommet By partially enclosing the assembly end of the grommet, a stable connection between the holder and grommet is achieved.
