Advantageously, lid is a rounding in the zone of pin, and preferably has the cylindrical shape in a kind of subregion at least.Therefore, this zone of lid gets into the backstop state with the wall district of a respective design of housing and supports above that there, and this has caused very high mechanical strength.

Advantageously, the pin design is on an axle on the lid.Therefore, this root axle has also constituted the gyroaxis of lid simultaneously under installment state.The cross section that this preferred pin is had a circle.Therefore, pin also can import in the groove simply and in groove, be pushed into the terminal location of lid.

Advantageously, on housing, arrange at least one flexible connecting plate, said connecting plate under installment state at least subregion and lid preferably in the zone of pin in the entering elastic bolster guide, and the part of the swing hinge of formation lid.Through the elastic construction of this connecting plate, lid can be engaged on the terminal location of regulation and be fixed on then on this position.Simultaneously, lid with the part of connecting plate contact and connecting plate and the pin that in groove, guides together, advantageously constituted a swing hinge jointly.Therefore having constituted one reliably can rotating lid, and it neither can by mistake can independently not come off from its terminal location housing yet.

Advantageously, connecting plate is designed to the part of housing.Connecting plate advantageously directly constitutes one by the part of processing with the housing identical materials, and therefore can be integrated in the version of housing.

Advantageously, housing is made up of the housing outer cover of two mutual removable connections at least, and preferably is made of plastics.Therefore both having made in production in enormous quantities also can be worthwhile and simply make housing.Because housing is to be made up of a plurality of parts, can install simply or assemble so need be arranged on the element and the module of enclosure interior.

According to the present invention, also advised a kind of audiphone or hearing aids in addition with one according to housing of the present invention.
