Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid device that can be used to compensate or to reduce hearing damage.
  • the invention has set itself the goal of creating a hearing device that eliminates the above-mentioned disadvantageous properties.
  • the aim set is achieved with a hearing aid which is provided with a housing, a microphone, a loudspeaker, an amplifier, a thermocouple battery, a voltage-regulating diode and, if appropriate, with a potentiometer which regulates the gain.
  • thermocouples as an energy source, the function of which is ensured by the temperature difference between the mottled ear and the outer ear.
  • the hearing aid device is provided with a phase delay which shifts the output signal by a 1/4 phase to the input signal.
  • the hearing aid is designed as a body, the shape and dimensions of which are suitable for arrangement in the human ear.
  • the hearing aid according to the invention is made in one piece from a compact miniature version provides its function in the outer ear, making it possible to wear it in a more hidden (invisible) manner than the previously known hearing aids.

  • FIG. 2 shows the embodiment variant according to FIG. 1 in cross section.
  • thermocouples 2 preferably silicon thermocouples, are arranged in series. These thermocouples 2 supply the supply voltage for an amplifier 3 designed as an integrated circuit formed head part of the housing 1, a microphone 4 and a loudspeaker 5 are arranged, which are connected to the amplifier 3 by means of line pairs 9.
  • a trimmer potentiometer 8 is arranged in the middle section of the housing 1, with the aid of which the gain can be set to a level desired by the user of the hearing aid device.

Abstract

Un appareil de correction auditive utilise comme source d'énergie la différence de température entre l'intérieur de l'oreille humaine et le pavillon de l'oreille. A cet effet, une batterie composée d'éléments semiconducteurs thermiques (2) est agencée sur l'enveloppe de l'appareil. La forme et les dimensions de l'appareil sont adaptées à l'intérieur de l'oreille humaine. L'excitation (auto-excitation) est empêchée par un retardeur de phase intégré dans le circuit intégré de l'amplificateur (3). La puissance d'amplification peut être régulée au moyen d'un potentiomètre (8) ou fixée sur une valeur déterminée par le circuit de l'amplificateur (3).
