Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hearing aid according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- a hearing aid is worn by a person in order to improve their hearing impairment, acoustic signals from the surroundings being received into the hearing aid via an entry opening in the hearing aid housing, processed in the hearing aid in accordance with the hearing impairment and finally being emitted into the inner ear, usually via a so-called sound channel, via an exit opening.
- a so-called sound channel usually via a so-called sound channel, via an exit opening.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a hearing device in which the protective elements can be replaced simply and reliably.
- the invention has the following advantages: by the hook element being rotatably mounted in the hearing device housing and by turning the hook element from a hearing device operating position into a hearing device service position, the cover element which covers or forms the sound inlet opening can be released
- the cover element can be replaced quickly and easily.
- the cover element preferably has a wedge shape, which is partially interrupted by a guide slot, and is preferably made of an open-pored material.
- Show 1 is a hearing aid, consisting of housing and hook element, in the operating position,
- a hearing aid which consists essentially of a housing 1 and a hook element 2.
- the hearing aid is shown in the so-called operating position, ie in the position in which the hearing aid can be placed on a patient's ear.
- the housing 1 has two sound passage openings (not shown in FIG. 1) in the area of the coupling point to the hook element 2. Sound signals are conducted through the one opening from the environment into the interior of the housing 1 to an electroacoustic transducer or an electrical signal processing unit.
- the electrical signals processed in this signal processing unit are converted - again in an electroacoustic transducer unit - into acoustic signals, which are then passed through the second opening into a sound channel 5 contained in the hook element 2 (FIG. 3) to a sound outlet 4.
- a sound channel 5 contained in the hook element 2 (FIG. 3)
- a sound outlet 4 In the case of a hearing aid that is placed on an ear of a patient, those that exit through the sound outlet opening Sound waves directed directly into the patient's ear canal.
- the sound inlet opening, through which sound waves from the environment reach the interior of the hearing aid, is covered by a cover element 3, which is preferred in one embodiment
- Embodiment is designed as a body, the outer surfaces of which merge flush into the outer shape of the housing 1 on the one hand, and into the outer shape of the hook element 2 on the other hand.
- the cover element 3 is made of an open-pored material. Particularly suitable materials for the cover element 3 can be found in EP-0 847 227.
- Fig. 2 shows the hearing aid according to Fig. 1 in the service position, i.e. in the position in which the cover element 3 can be removed from a recess in the hook element 2 or inserted into the recess.
- the hook element 2 is rotated by 180 ° relative to the housing 1, so that the cover element 3 can be moved out of the recess in the direction of the housing 1.
- the cover element 3 and the corresponding recess in the hook element 2 are designed such that on the one hand the cover element 3 can be pushed past next to the housing 1.
- the cover element 3 is wedge-shaped, both in the direction of insertion and transversely thereto, so that the cover element 3 is automatically centered when inserted into the recess.
- the hook element 2 is rotatable in the housing 1 stored, namely the axis of rotation of this rotary movement preferably coincide with the central axis of the sound channel in the region of the coupling point between the housing 1 and the hook element 2.
- FIG. 3 shows a section of the hook element 2, specifically in a side view of the coupling point between the housing 1 (FIGS. 1 and 2) and the hook element 2, the cover element 3 (FIGS. 1 and 2) not in the corresponding recess 6 is inserted in the hook element 2.
- the sound passage opening in the sound channel 5 is clearly visible.
- the hook element 2 can be rotated relative to the housing 1 (FIGS. 1 and 2) about the central axis of this opening.
- the recess 7 has a guide web 7, which additionally fixes or centers the cover element 4.
