Abstract

The invention concerns the creation of a novel design for a hearing aid (1) adaptable on the bow of spectacles (2) from which it can be easily detached and provided with interchangeable cover elements (5).

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>

DESCRIPTION Domaine : Prothèse auditive Problème technique posé par la technique actuelle Pour le porteur de lunettes, le contour d'oreille présente une gène due à la présence de la branche de lunette. DESCRIPTION Field: Hearing aid Technical problem posed by current technology For the wearer of glasses, the earloop presents a gene due to the presence of the spectacle branch.

Dans ce cas, la solution, souvent souhaitée de lunettes auditives, n'a pour l'instant, rencontré que peu d'adeptes compte tenu de plusieurs inconvénients majeurs que présente cette solution. a) La branche de lunette auditive actuelle, dans laquelle se trouve logée l'électronique, ne peut s'adapter que sur un nombre très limité de montures optiques, ce qui oblige le malentendant, dans la plupart des cas, à changer sa monture et ses verres, pour un type de monture, sur laquelle on peut adapter la branche auditive, et qui ne lui donne pas une entière satisfaction esthétique, compte tenu du choix de monture très limité b L'ajustage des branches de lunettes auditives est très aléatoire (difficilement cambrables et ajustables à la courbure arrière de l'oreille, d'ou une mauvaise tenue de la monture), il s'en suit une gène visuelle et physique. c) Branche souvent relativement épaisse pour contenir l'électronique, et de ce fait peu esthétique d) Enfin, très important, en cas de panne nécessitant l'envoi de l'appareil auditif en réparation, la personne se trouve privée, de ce fait, de ses lunettes (ce qui l'oblige à avoir une seconde paire). In this case, the solution, often desired of hearing glasses, has for the moment, met only few followers taking into account several major drawbacks that this solution presents. a) The current sector of hearing glasses, in which the electronics is housed, can only be adapted on a very limited number of optical frames, which obliges the hearing-impaired, in most cases, to change his frame and his lenses, for a type of frame, on which one can adapt the hearing branch, and which does not give him full aesthetic satisfaction, given the very limited choice of frame b The fitting of the branches of hearing glasses is very random ( difficult to bend and adjustable to the rear curvature of the ear, or a poor fit of the frame), it follows a visual and physical gene. c) Branch often relatively thick to contain the electronics, and therefore unattractive d) Finally, very important, in case of failure requiring the sending of the hearing aid for repair, the person is deprived, therefore , his glasses (which forces him to have a second pair).

But de l'invention - Dissocier appareil et branche de lunette en remplaçant la branche auditive par un appareil amovible adaptable sur les branches de n'importe quelle lunette et esthétiquement portable. Object of the invention - To dissociate device and branch of telescope by replacing the auditory branch by a removable device adaptable on the branches of any telescope and aesthetically portable.

Cet appareil serait dissimulé par un système de caches interchangeables aux allures de bijoux.

This device would be hidden by a system of interchangeable covers that look like jewelry.

Ce petit appareil auditif standard serait fixé sur la branche de façon à le rendre non le rendre facilement détachable en cas de réparation. This small standard hearing aid would be fixed on the branch so as to make it not make it easily detachable in case of repair.

Exposé de l'invention La solution proposée est la fabrication en série d'un petit appareil, miniaturisé au maximum grâce aux progrès de l'électronique actuelle, fixable sur la quasi totalité des branches de lunette, juste devant l'oreille Pour cet appareil fabriqué en série, il serait prévu des caches interchangeables La forme de ces caches donnerait à la prothèse une allure de bijou. Disclosure of the invention The proposed solution is the mass production of a small device, miniaturized to the maximum thanks to the progress of current electronics, fixable on almost all of the glasses branches, just in front of the ear For this manufactured device interchangeable covers would be provided in series. The shape of these covers would give the prosthesis a jewel-like appearance.

Certaines formes de ces caches, pourraient éventuellement, par la même occasion, dissimuler les tubes (déjà beaucoup moins longs que sur les appareils actuels, du fait de la nouvelle position de l'appareil) ainsi que les embouts situés dans le conduit auditif. Some forms of these covers, could possibly, at the same time, hide the tubes (already much shorter than on current devices, due to the new position of the device) as well as the tips located in the ear canal.

The shape of the shell varies depending on the electronics to be housed. The device will be fixed to the branch (2) by a clamping system (3) so as to be easily detachable in the event of a breakdown.

Sur cette coque sera prévu un dispositif (4) permettant de fixer des caches interchangeables (5) destinés à cacher cet appareil ainsi qu'éventuellement le tube (6) et l'embout (7). La forme de ces caches pouvant varier à l'infini pour éviter toute lassitude afin de donner à l'appareil une allure de bijou que l'on choisirait en fonction de sa tenue.  On this shell will be provided a device (4) for fixing interchangeable covers (5) intended to hide this device as well as possibly the tube (6) and the end piece (7). The shape of these covers can vary endlessly to avoid any weariness in order to give the device a jewel-like appearance that one would choose according to its outfit.

Cette invention est en mesure d'intéresser tous les fabricants de prothèses auditives, qui pour l'instant ne disposent pas ou peu de modèles de branches auditives et serait susceptible d'intéresser bon nombre de malentendants porteurs de contours et de lunettes qui y verraient l'avantage de supprimer le contour situé derrière l'oreille.This invention is able to interest all manufacturers of hearing aids, which for the moment have little or no hearing aid models and would be likely to interest a good number of hearing-impaired people wearing contours and glasses who would see it. advantage of removing the contour behind the ear.
