Description

The present invention is capable of using a conventional hearing aid with a dark image in a fashionable sense even in elderly women, and can attach piercings that do not fall easily without performing piercing operations on the earlobe, and It was developed to make the wearing of hearing aids as inconspicuous as possible in large earrings on the market.

For older women, the range of behavior has expanded year by year, and the products they possess have become more fashionable.

In addition, when the image of an elderly person becomes a strong hearing aid, there is a sense of resistance in its use itself, and in order to prevent the earrings from being easily lost or dropped, if the ear piercing is performed and the earrings are worn, There was considerable resistance for the person.

In order to solve these problems, attempts have been made to reduce the shape of the hearing aid itself to make it inconspicuous, or to make the shape smarter. However, all of these were unsatisfactory when considering fashion.

In addition, when a small hearing aid is attached and the earring is attached to the earlobe in order to hide it in a commercially available earring, it is impossible to cover the position of the ear hole because of its positional relationship.

To solve these problems, it is possible to apply special processing to the earring and attach it directly to the hearing aid, but there are problems such as being unable to use it when using general-purpose products or favorite earrings you own .

These problems have been solved by providing an earlobe-shaped mounting portion in a positional relationship that does not cause a sense of incongruity in the positional relationship during mounting.

The problem to be solved is to reduce a dark image when wearing a hearing aid, to have fashionability, to use the hearing aid in a fashionable manner, and to easily use and replace a general-purpose earring.

The present invention is characterized in that an earlobe-shaped earring attachment portion is provided so that it can be mounted in a positional relationship such that there is no sense of incongruity using a general-purpose earring so that the hearing aid is not conspicuous.

The hearing aid with earring mounting portion of the present invention is a general-purpose earring that makes the wearing of the hearing aid inconspicuous. There is an advantage that the earrings worn in can be replaced.

An earlobe-shaped earring attachment site is provided at a position where the earphone can be attached to the hearing aid and there is no sense of incongruity in the positional relationship.

  FIG. 1 is a reference diagram showing the appearance of the entire mounting of the product of the present invention.

  In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a device body of a hearing aid, which is a part that incorporates a weak electric device such as an amplifier, and has a structure that can be arranged as small as possible in the direction of the earlobe as much as possible.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an earlobe-shaped part that is structured so that a commercially available earring can be attached, and has a hole 4 in which earrings can be attached.

The material of this part is considered to be wearing earrings with a structure that sandwiches the earlobe, and silicon, LDPE, soft PVC, PP, etc., which have a certain degree of elasticity can be considered.

In FIG. 1, the code 2 is displayed. In this case, a portion of the so-called pocket type hearing aid 1 in which an electronic component is inserted almost enters the external breast pocket, so that it can be made inconspicuously small and more effective.

FIG. 2 shows the positional relationship and state when the flower-shaped earrings are worn. In this case, earrings that can be worn are limited to dedicated ones.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it is possible to directly attach to the electronic component device main body of the hearing aid, but in that case, a dedicated earring is required or an intermediate support device is required. General-purpose earrings cannot be used.

Since it is possible to wear commercially available earrings for the purpose of changing decorations such as hearing aids and headphones, in order to make the wearing of hearing aids inconspicuous, wear something that is large and close to the ear hole, and on the earphone As with the earlobe, it can be worn with any pierced ornament, even if the earlobe has not been perforated.
