  • the present invention is aimed at developing an exterior power supply to the hearing aid using the button cell, more particularly providing the electricity from an exterior power supply through a wire to a hearing aid in order to replace the button cell.
  • the exterior power supply comprises a set of auto loud noise control circuit, which is capable of detecting background noise volume. The power supply will be stopped temporarily as though the noise is overloaded and will be started automatically once the background noise volume is back to the normal level to protect the hearing aid user's listening comprehension and conserve the button cell consumption.
  • the main objective of the invention is to provide an exterior power supply to a hearing aid.
  • This exterior power supply consists a positive and negative power contacts located in the hearing aid, a wire, and a power supply.
  • the electrode contacts use two pieces of thin plate connecting to the wire, which passes through the battery container without modifying the structure of the hearing aid.
  • the power supply At the other end of the wire is the power supply that can be a combination of a solar cell with a chargeable battery, or a normal small battery.
  • the multi-functional power supply has a circuit offering an electricity conduction circuit, an auto loud noise control circuit detecting background noise volume and being stopped temporarily as though the noise is overloaded and started automatically once the background noise volume is back to the normal level, and a voltage regulator circuit to control an output voltage always be 1.4 V.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une alimentation électrique extérieure qui comprend des contacts d'alimentation positif et négatif placés dans la prothèse auditive, un fil électrique et une alimentation électrique. Les contacts d'électrode utilisent deux morceaux d'une plaque mince se connectant au fil électrique qui traverse le boîtier de batterie sans modifier la structure de la prothèse auditive. A l'autre extrémité du fil électrique se trouve l'alimentation électrique qui peut être une combinaison d'une cellule solaire avec batterie rechargeable ou une petite batterie normale. L'alimentation électrique multifonction est munie d’un circuit offrant un circuit de conduction d'électricité, un circuit de correction automatique de bruit fort détectant un volume de bruit de fond, arrêté temporairement en cas de surcharge de bruit et démarré automatiquement une fois que le volume du bruit de fond est revenu au niveau normal, ainsi qu’un circuit régulateur de tension qui régule la tension de sortie à 1,4 V constant.
