Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid with a behind the ear to be worn sickle, crescent or banana-shaped housing that receives parts of the device, such as microphone, amplifier, handset, battery, etc., cup-shaped and connectable at one end to a support device.
  • a lower inner-arc housing shell extends at the back of the pinna and a second upper outer-arc housing shell lies lid-shaped on the lower housing shell, such that a housing separation line between the abutting housing shells along side housing walls runs.
  • a carrying hook At the upper end of the housing there is a carrying hook and at the opposite lower end a container for a battery.
  • This container is closed with a lid, which is hinged to the inside of the curved housing out.
  • an attachment with a volume control, a recess for a switch and a closure flap are provided on the outer-bow housing shell, via which actuators are accessible.
  • the two housing shells are releasably connected to each other by screws.
  • the power source housed in the battery compartment is replaceable after opening the container lid, wherein the lid is held by means of a Schnappansatzes at its outer end to a recess in the container.
  • the lid of the battery compartment is pivotally mounted on a hinge on the lower housing shell.
  • This hearing aid housing requires several housing parts and glands and has a visible housing separation line.
  • the banana-shaped housing on the device depth relatively large device height in turn, two housing shells are joined together in such a way that their shell bottoms are arranged vertically in parallel planes and the relatively short abutting bowl edges form narrow outer or inner bends of the housing.
  • This housing design also has a visible housing parting line, further allows only the accommodation of a relatively small battery and it can be provided on the narrow outer arc of the housing only small actuator, switch or the like.
  • the plastic and symmetrically shaped half-shells are collided in the plane of symmetry and screwed together by several, sometimes different lengths of screws.
  • interlocking closure elements e.g. Pins and holes or snap and hook connections (DE-U-8 713 087) provided.
  • Additional housing parts are required as a flap, for covering control elements, and / or as to be stored on the housing, swing-out battery door.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the design of the housing in a hearing aid of the type mentioned, in particular to simplify its construction, so that particularly disturbing visible edges and glands are avoided.
  • the hearing aid housing according to the invention is very well adaptable to a shape that is particularly suitable for placement on the space behind the ear space, and it is also suitable for the optical external housing shape proves to be advantageous that visible housing separation lines are avoided when wearing the hearing aid.
  • the housing parts receiving housing is essentially formed by a one-piece U-shaped shell, which is then only to close by a lid.
  • the cover can either form the end of the housing as an inner arc - course on the back of the auricle - or be provided as outer shell covering the shell.
  • the lid in guides, grooves or the like of the housing shell can be inserted and optionally form a battery drawer with the receptacle for the battery, which can also be connected to an on-off switch.
  • the joint-free design of the housing is less prone to fouling. Also occurring in the known two-shell cases surviving a shell part on the other shell part (tolerances on the tool, inaccuracies during spraying, manual compression of a shell part) is not possible in the case of the invention.
  • the invention is characterized by the fact that the installation of the hearing aid can be simplified, whereby unwanted screwing can be omitted. Since the housing cover instead a shell is made simpler and the attachment of the lid between the legs of a U-shaped shell is easier to perform, where - if desired - completely eliminated screws and nuts, the production and manufacture of the hearing aid is also cheaper.
  • the housing of a behind the ear to be worn hearing aid is designated 1. It consists of a curved, in the embodiment on the inner arc, which runs at the back of the auricle, open U-shaped shell 2 and this shell along the inner arch occlusive housing cover 3.
  • a support device such as a carrying hook 4, for a BTE device or a mounting bracket of a hearing aid.
  • parts of the hearing aid such as microphone, amplifier, receiver, battery, etc. housed.
  • the web 7 of the shell is used in the embodiment as an outer arc of the sickle, crescent or banana-shaped housing.
  • recesses 8 or recesses 9 for operating elements e.g. a volume control 10 and an on-off switch 11, provided.
  • a flap 12, panel or the like may be hinged to the web 7, are arranged on the arranged underneath, dashed control elements 13 are accessible.
  • a container 16 or the like for receiving a power source may be formed so that the cover simultaneously performs the function of an extendable or swung out of the housing battery charging.
  • the lid 3 in the region of the upper end 14 on the shell 2 by a plug connection, e.g. Slot 17 and lug 18, are fastened, while the lid has at its lower end a handle 19 and by a latching hook (not shown) or the like with the lower end of the shell 2 can be latched.
  • the shell 2 may have one or more transverse walls 22, webs or the like.
  • the longitudinal edges of the lid are rounded, so that a clean transition to the housing or to the longitudinal edges 20, 21 of the housing end faces forming legs 5, 6 of the shell 2 results.
  • the U-shaped shell can form with its web extending at the back of the pinna inner bow, the housing cover surrounds the housing as an outer arc and recesses for operating and / or adjusting elements of the device are providable in the housing cover. It can be performed by the web of the U-shaped shell a pull-out or swing-out battery charger. On the other hand, there is the possibility that a pull-out or swing-out battery door is guided in the housing cover. According to another variant, the housing cover forms a pull-out or swing-out battery charger.
  • the housing cover 3 may be integrally formed in one piece via a film hinge to the upper end 14 of the shell 2.
  • the lid 3 can be fixed to the tray 2 by a hinge or a hinge connection. In addition or in addition screw and / or locking connections are possible.
  • a battery charge can be guided in the web 7 or in a recess of the web.
  • the housing shell 2 has an insertion opening 23 for a not shown support hook and in the region of this insertion guide grooves 24 are provided in the legs of the shell, which are suitable for receiving the housing cover 3 arranged on the axle journals 25.
  • the outer arc of the housing shell 2 forming web 7 has a recess 8, for example for a switch, a recess 9, for example for a potentiometer, and an opening 26 for adjusting elements, the latter can be covered by a flap.
  • U-shaped reinforcing webs of the shell 2 are designated.
  • the shell knob recesses 28, in the correspondingly arranged locking nubs 29 of the lid can be latched.
  • the lid also has a handle 19, an opening handle or the like. on. 16 with a recording for a battery is indicated.
