Abstract

The method involves realizing a digital extrusion of a spectacle branch at the level of an ear bend, to the shape of a hearing aid and forming a shell which replaces part of a case of the hearing aid. An opening is formed in the spectacle branch corresponding to an opening of a microphone. A ring is formed to block a capillary tube of the hearing aid, and a split ring is formed to clip the capillary tube of the aid.

Description

L'invention concerne un procédé d'extrusion de branche de lunette pour yThe invention relates to a method of extrusion of a telescope branch for

loger un appareil auditif Les lunettes et les appareils auditifs de type contour d'oreille sont deux orthèses différentes et parfois encombrantes pour le seul contour du pavillon d'oreille . De plus les appareils auditifs dits ouverts sont très légers et tombent de l'oreille très facilement. Il existe des coudes d'appareils auditifs spéciaux pour emmancher la branche de lunettes en la coupant à la taille désirée mais cela dénature la lunette et condamne l'appareil à avoir un coude spécial. Il existe des branches auditives spécifiques mais cela oblige à choisir l'appareil chez le fournisseur réalisant ce produit . La présente invention permet de remédier à ces problèmes : Les appareils auditifs deviennent de plus en plus fins et discrets, Les branches de lunettes sont parfois épaisses. La branche de lunette est ajustée en fonction de la courbure de l'oreille et de la distance de la face de la monture par rapport au visage. Cet ajustage est indispensable pour une bonne vision . Le procédé consiste à intégrer l'appareil auditif dans sa configuration normale dans la branche de lu- nette en réalisant une extrusion de la forme de l'appareil auditif . Dans une forme préférentielle , seule la partie intérieure de la branche est extrudée afin de camoufler le mieux possible l'appareil auditif. Dans une forme particulière seule une partie de l'appareil auditif peut être intégrée. L'extrusion se faisant numériquement, un logiciel permet de piloter l'extrusion en fonction de la forme pré enregistrée de l'appareil auditif contour d'oreille . Dans une forme préférentielle, un ergot peut être réalisé pour bloquer le micro-phone . Dans une forme particulière, une ouverture de la branche laisse passer le son pour se diriger vers l'entrée microphone. De plus, les appareils ouverts possèdent un tube capillaire extrêmement fin pouvant amener, soit les fils à l'écou- teur, soit le son au tympan. Le procédé consiste lors de l'extrusion a réaliser un anneau fendu afin de clipper le tube. Dans une forme particulière, une partie de la carrosserie plastique de l'appareil est retirée puisque l'extrusion peut faire office de carrosserie sur une des faces. 35  housing a hearing aid Eyeglasses and ear-type hearing aids are two different and sometimes cumbersome orthoses for the sole contour of the auricle. In addition hearing aids called open are very light and fall off the ear very easily. There are elbows of special hearing aids to fit the branch of glasses by cutting to the desired size but it distorts the telescope and condemns the device to have a special elbow. There are specific auditory branches, but this requires choosing the device from the supplier of this product. The present invention overcomes these problems: The hearing aids are becoming more and more thin and discreet, The glasses are sometimes thick. The bezel branch is adjusted according to the curvature of the ear and the distance of the face of the frame from the face. This adjustment is essential for good vision. The method consists of integrating the hearing aid into its normal configuration in the branch of the eye by extruding the shape of the hearing aid. In a preferred form, only the inner part of the limb is extruded in order to camouflage the hearing aid as well as possible. In a particular form only part of the hearing aid can be integrated. The extrusion is done numerically, a software to control the extrusion based on the pre-recorded form of the hearing aid earloop. In a preferred form, a lug can be made to block the microphone. In a particular form, an opening of the branch lets the sound pass to the microphone input. In addition, open equipment has an extremely fine capillary tube that can bring either the son to the earpiece or the sound to the eardrum. The process consists in the extrusion to make a split ring to clipper the tube. In a particular form, part of the plastic body of the apparatus is removed since the extrusion can act as a body on one side. 35
