Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of hearing aids and earphones. More particularly, the invention relates to a universal adapter for ear-worn hearing aids and earphones.
  • the present invention relates to a variety of anatomical conditions of the human ear canal automatically adapting adapter that can be used in most on the hearing aid market, to be worn on the ear hearing aids and meets the individual, audiological Erforderde nisse at a very high level of comfort.
  • Hearing aids are offered as HDO devices (devices to be worn behind the ear) and IOG (in-the-ear devices) in various designs and sizes from various manufacturers on the market. They mainly consist of microphone (s), amplifiers, speakers and the power supply. In the case of HDO devices, sound is injected into the ear canal either via a flexible sound tube or via an external loudspeaker ("receiver in the canal" / RIC) .
  • the IOG has all the components installed in a custom-made hollow shell.
  • IOGs are also available in standard housings, which are designed with a standardized sound outlet fitting plugged into a silicone dome, or with a custom made prosthesis prepared for this socket.
  • a politicianotoplastik / earpiece made of cast acrylic (polymethylmethacrylate / PMMA) or made under light-curing material, because this is a better fit for each individual anatomical shape of the ear canal of a hearing aid wearer and thereby provides a secure hold of the plastic in the ear canal.
  • an impression with a two-component Silicone material (similar to a dental impression) created.
  • the shape of the negative is today usually digitally captured by a 3-D scanner.
  • a blank is produced in a third-party company using laser technology and then reworked by hand, so that it receives its final finish.
  • the fixation of the tube is done by gluing in the previously pierced Wasserotoplastik.
  • a cerumen protection or a device that prevents the penetration of earwax into the sound outlet, are extremely rarely integrated into a holisticotoplastik when using the sound input through sound tubes.
  • the miniature speakers are outsourced from the housing of the hearing aid and connected by a thin cable to the hearing aid.
  • External loudspeakers (“receiver in the canal", RIC) require special holding devices for coupling to a bibliotoplastik, as known for example from the document DE 10 2006 004 033 Al, which must be incorporated into the plastic.
  • a renewal of the chandelierstik is required if age-related, or by increasing or decreasing the body weight, change the anatomical conditions in the ear canal.
  • Shield-shaped, mostly hemispherical, so-called “domes” made of soft silicone are currently used mostly for testing hearing aids.
  • the thin-walled hemisphere is provided with perforations depending on the required sound transmission and thus suitable for a high-tone transmission, or closed for a broadband sound amplification
  • These domes are offered manufacturer-specific by the hearing aid suppliers for their own products
  • HDO behind-ear device
  • domes are mounted directly on the speaker.
  • the connection from the HDO device to the external loudspeaker is ensured by a thin cable (see, for example, EP 2 919 486 A1, US Pat. No. 7,660,905, US Pat. No. 7,681,577 B2).
  • Some manufacturers offer domes for their own specific products (DE 10 2014 200 605 A1, EP 2 819 435 A1).
  • Product-specific silicone domes are offered by hearing aid manufacturers for external speakers developed by them.
  • a second component made of stronger material is injection molded in the dome.
  • These domes generally have the same shapes and properties as are used for thin tubes (eg, documents DE 10 2014 200 605 A1, EP 1 995 991 A2, US 8 290 187 B2, DE 10 2011 006 720 A1, US Pat 174 A, US 2008/0 298 618 A1, WO 2001/069 971 A2, EP 2 819 435 A1).
  • Domes which are used in medical technology for stethoscopes or examination devices such as tympanometers or similar devices, are designed primarily to close the ear canals of the examiner or the examined person. They are usually applied externally to the ear canal opening (see, for example, pamphlets US Pat. No. 7,664,282 B2; US Pat. No. 4,055,233 A; US Pat. No. 6,473,513 B1). For measurements by inserted probe into the ear canal manufacturers offer special domes (see, for example, publication US 6 253 871 Bl).
  • Frequencies reflected by the eardrum can lead to interference phenomena, with the frequencies emitted by the sound emission of the ear mold, and thus to phenomena such as reverberation, or a "wobble" of the sound, because the position of the sound exit in the auditory canal, and thus the distance to the eardrum, by the anatomical
  • there is a risk of the occurrence of feedback as a result of the modification of the plastic, a different position of the sound outlet, or the attachment of a ventilation bore can be brought about.
  • Domes are offered in different sizes (diameters), but usually with a fixed, unchanging extent within the manufacturing dimensions.
  • silicone domes in the so-called “Tulip” shape have a variable diameter or circumference, have in the ear canal, because of the very flexible wall thickness of 0.3 mm, but only slight support and itching or tickling the wearer Especially chewing movements irritate the ear canal skin
  • the Tulip form is mainly used for the introduction of broadband sound amplifications.
  • the proximal end that is, the eardrum facing end usually has a flat, located perpendicular to the sound outlet opening, often arise occlusion effects and interference, as described above.
  • silicone domes are circular at the dorsal end, ie towards the auditory canal exit.
  • the flexible material folds due to its thin walls of 0.3 - 5 mm at the dorsal end into the interior of the circumference.
  • the resulting, more acute, dorsal ends adjacent to the ear canal lead to the itching and scratching described above.
  • the choice of a smaller silicone dome usually also leads to tickling, as this is not in the ear canal is fixed. Chewing movements intensify these effects, as during chewing movements the ear canal is moved by the jaw bone below.
  • domes In order to solve the problem of the anatomical adaptation of a dome in an auditory canal with a standard system, products have also been developed which inflate an air cushion by inflating or by metallic spring mechanisms allow nestling to the ear canal skin. These domes can only be conditionally provided with frequency-influencing openings. Due to the kink present in almost all auditory canals with the usual subsequent expansion, the air in the system with air cushion must be drained, and be re-inflated when re-use by the user (DE 43 39 899 Al). Metallic spring systems in a dome system can only ever act punctually, at the location of maximum expansion; whether by temperature change (described in document US 2007/018 3613 Al) or more annularly arranged suspensions. A spring-back system makes positioning in the ear canal more difficult (see document DE 43 39 899 A1). These domes also have a round Form, the problems described above in inserting and pulling in and out of the ear canal also occur here.
  • Silicone domes such as those used in consumer electronics or medical technology, are not suitable for the use of external earphones for hearing systems. These domes do not have a suitable coupling possibility.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an adapter for hearing aids and earphones, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the adapter should reduce the burden of customization of hearing aids and earphones to the wearer.
  • the seat in the ear canal should be improved, and unpleasant sensations such as tickling or scratching should be avoided.
  • the adapter should respond well-natured to changes in the geometry of the ear canal.
  • the adapter should be suitable for in-the-ear devices, for behind-the-ear devices with receiver-in-the-canal, as well as for earphones from consumer electronics.
  • a cerumen protection should be easy to integrate.
  • the adapter is intended to reduce the occurrence of an "occlusion effect.” It should also respond to the presence of a constriction in the auditory canal, as well as the non-circular cross-sectional shape of the ear canal.
  • the application of the adapter should be as simple as possible, and the adapter should solve the problem of difficulty reduce the correct setting of a ventilation opening.
  • the invention relates to a universal adapter comprising a flexible material, for introducing the amplified sound of a hearing aid or earphone in the individually shaped human ear canal.
  • ком ⁇ онент in the present case a plastic, in particular elastomers having a Shore hardness of 20-100 Shore A, which elastically deforms sufficiently far under the pressure which typically occurs in use, and returns to its original shape after use
  • Adapter, or adapter for short can also be combined with a non-flexible, essentially solid material as defined above, for example for creating a solid core or a region intended for handling (eg a grip piece).
  • hearing aid and "earphone” are broadly defined and include all areas mentioned above, as well as all areas not mentioned in which are inserted into the ear canal, these essentially occlusive elements are needed, not only in the sound introduction, but for example also with sound insulation.
  • the adapter according to the invention comprises a plurality of said flexible material existing trapezoidal hollow segments, short segments, which, separated from each other, with their radially from the dorsal (ie facing away from the body) to the proximal (ie the body facing) side decreasing side walls along a centrally arranged, optionally made of (the same or another) flexible or solid material locking nipple are arranged, which serves for receiving a Schallausgangsstutzens the hearing aid.
  • "Trapezoidal” here refers to the cross section seen in the longitudinal direction (dorsal-proximal).
  • the hollow segments are connected to the proximal, narrow ends of their contact surfaces at a proximal end of the locking nipple, wherein the adapter has the form of a shortened ellipsoidal body, so that the same automatically by the restoring force of the elastic side walls with its contact surfaces of the shape of the ear canal optimally is customizable.

  • the adapter reduces the effort in the individual adaptation of hearing aids and earphones to the wearer and can be produced as a cost-effective series product.
  • the seat in the ear canal is significantly improved, the adapter automatically adapts to the given anatomical conditions of the ear canal at the time of insertion, where it can be fixed without pressure due to its high flexibility.
  • the adapter In conjunction with its flexible applicability, it can replace a large number of well-known silicone domes from various manufacturers, thereby reducing the time spent on inventory management and procurement in the audiologist's shop, because of its very small assortment of different diameters of this silicone adapter needed.
  • the adapter also reduces the occurrence of an "occlusion effect.” He In addition, it responds good-naturedly to the presence of a constriction in the ear canal, as well as the non-circular cross-sectional shape of the ear canal.
