Definitions
- the coil is an antenna for wireless communications and/or wireless charging a battery.
- the hearing aid comprises at least two microphone arrangements.
- the shell is adapted after a user's auditory canal such that the hearing aid when placed in the ear is always orientated in a specifically predetermined position such that the time delay between sound received by the microphone arrangements gives an indication of direction from where the sound originate.
- the coil 54 has a radial/(physical) extension W/T perpendicular to its centre axis CC being larger/greater than its longitudinal/(physical) extension L/H along or in parallel with its centre axis CC.
- the coil 54 has a larger/greater width/breadth/thickness WIT as measured in a plane perpendicular to its centre axis CC than its length/height L/H as measured in a plane along or in parallel with its centre axis CC, see e.g. figs. 1A , 4B , 4D , 4F , 5B , 5D , 6A and 6B .
- the method comprises the steps of manufacturing a body 210 of the charging station 200; providing said body with a cavity 220 being essentially shaped as the hearing aid's shell 20; manufacturing a lid 300 of the charging station; providing the lid 300 with a cavity 310 being essentially shaped for receiving the hearing aid's faceplate 30; providing said lid with a charging device 320, the charging device 320 and the lid 300 being adapted to mate such that the charging device 320 is able to charge the hearing aid 10 when the lid 300 is closed.
- the charging arrangement 50, 54 and at least one microphone arrangement 110 are produced as one module M in an embodiment.
- the charging arrangement 50, 54 and two microphone arrangements 110 are produced as one module M in an embodiment.
- the charging arrangement 50, 54, two microphone arrangements 110 and optionally at least one button arrangement 60, 61, 70 are produced as one module M in an embodiment.
- the charging arrangement 50 and its coil 54, at least one microphone arrangement 110 and at least one button arrangement 60, 61, 70 are produced as one module M.
- the charging arrangement 50 and its coil 54, at least one microphone arrangement 110, at least one button arrangement 60, 61, 70 and at least one 2.4 GHz antenna are produced as one module M.
- a module M comprising the charging arrangement 50 and/or button arrangement 60, 61 and/or the plunger 70 and the microphone arrangement/-s 110 provide placing components within the hearing aid 10 that do not require a specific position more freely where space is available in the shell 20 and finally the custom hearing aid 10 is possible to make more environmental robust as it then is easily closed and/or sealed.
- a module M optimizes use/filling of already existing empty space through the coil 54, thereby improving the filling grade of the hearing aid 10.
- the shell 20 and faceplate 30 of the hearing aid 10 is in an embodiment fixed and/or closed and/or sealed when/after mating/attachment.
- the charging coil 54 is fixed on/in/at the faceplate 30.
- a 2.4 GHz antenna is placed inside the hearing aid 10.
- a 2.4 GHz antenna is fixed on/in/at/adjacent the faceplate 30.
- a 2.4 GHz antenna is fixed in a standard shape as a part of the module M comprising the charging arrangement 50 and/or the button arrangement 60, 61 and/or the plunger/-s 70 and the microphone arrangement/-s 110.
- a 2.4 GHz antenna is part of the module M comprising the charging arrangement 50 and/or the button arrangement 60, 61 and/or the plunger/-s 70 and the microphone arrangement/-s 110 at or adjacent or close to and/or in contact with and/or enclosed by the faceplate 30.
- the shell 20 is adapted after a user's auditory canal such that the hearing aid when placed in the ear is always orientated in a specifically predetermined position such that the time delay between sound received by the microphone arrangements 110 gives an indication of direction from where the sound originate, see fig. 3 .
- Each microphone arrangement 110 works as an input transducer and the functionality of the hearing aid 10 is explained shortly here as its function is common knowledge for a skilled person.
- Each microphone of the microphone arrangement 110 receives sound through an audio channel 120 and a filter 90 and outputs an analogue audio signal based on the acoustic sound signal arriving at the microphone 110 when the hearing aid 10 is operating.
- An analogue-to-digital converter converts the analogue audio signal into a corresponding digital audio signal for digital signal processing in the hearing circuit, such as a hearing loss processor that is configured to compensate a hearing loss of a user of the hearing aid 10.
- the hearing loss processor comprises a dynamic range compressor well-known in the art for compensation of frequency dependent loss of dynamic range of the user often termed recruitment in the art.
- An output transducer in the form of a receiver 91 converts the analogue hearing loss compensated audio signal into a corresponding acoustic signal for transmission via a loudspeaker 91 or the like (see below) towards an eardrum of the user, whereby the user hears the sound originally arriving at the microphone 110, however, compensated for the user's individual hearing loss.
- the hearing loss processor is operatively coupled to the control unit 81 and/or master control unit of the hearing aid 10 in a way being common knowledge to a skilled person.
- the hearing aid 10 may comprise one or more antennas 54, 94, 130 for radio frequency communication.
- the one or more antennas 54, 94, 130 may be configured to operate in a first frequency range, such as at a frequency above 800 MHz, such as at a frequency above 1 GHz, such as at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, such as at a frequency between 1.5 GHz and 3 GHz, during use.
- the first antenna 54, 94, 130 may be configured for operation in ISM frequency band.
- the first antenna may be any antenna capable of operating at these frequencies, and the first antenna may be a resonant antenna, such as monopole antenna, such as a dipole antenna, etc.
- the resonant antenna may have a length of lambda/4 or any multiple thereof, lambda being the wavelength corresponding to the emitted electromagnetic field.
- the hearing aid 10 comprises one or more audio channels 120.
- the plunger 70 is configured as a core for the coil 54.
- the coil 54 is a flat and/or planar coil.
- the coil 54 is a flat coil having a larger lateral extension W/T than its length L or height or vertical thickness L/H, see at least figs. 1A , 6A and 6B .
- the lateral extension of the coil 54 is measured across or in a direction essentially perpendicular or perpendicular or at least somewhat angled or diverging in relation to the longitudinal direction of the hearing aid 10.
- the charging station 200 comprising a body 210 and one or more lids 300 and being configured to charge one or more hearing aids 10 according to any of the disclosed aspects/embodiments by means of induction when the hearing aid/-s is/are coupled to the charging station
- the body 210 of the charging station is configured to guide or steer or orientate or turn or align the hearing aid/-s 10 (i.e. its shell 20) when introduced, i.e.
- one or more of the lids 300 of the charging station is configured to guide or steer or orientate the whole hearing aid/-s 10 further/to a higher degree as/when/after its shell 20 is introduced/received in the cavity 310 of the charging station with a finer or vernier or final control into a final set charging position of the hearing aid/-s when the lid is closed.
- These small-sized hearing aids 10 also affect their freedom of design by at least somewhat limiting the dimensioning, i.e. "sizing", and designing the visible/exposed part, i.e. the faceplate 30, of a hearing aid when placed in the ear, this limitation being reduced by enabling a plunger 70 to reach through a coil 54 as defined herein.
