Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing aid with a cover plate provided on the housing, the latter having an opening and an axis arranged therein, on which a swiveling part fitting into the opening is provided with an electrical input plug and contact pieces for connection to mating contacts leading to the device electronics .
  • Such hearing aids are e.g. from the Swiss patent No ... (application No. 2 687/93 dated September 8, 1993) of the applicant.
  • the swing-out part is preferably designed as an adapter with an input plug for a programming or audio cable, optionally as a battery compartment cover with a battery arranged therein, and is interchangeably mounted on the axle.
  • the programming of the hearing aid is facilitated, in particular, with optimum effort and a trouble-free design.
  • the cover plate 1 shown in FIG. 1 is provided on the housing (not shown) of a hearing aid.
  • An opening 2 is provided in the cover plate 1 (called a faceplate), into which a part fitting into the opening (see e.g. FIG. 4) can be inserted.
  • This part can be placed on an axis 3 arranged in the opening 2 and can be pivoted out about the axis 3 (in the manner of a swing-out cover).
  • the swing-out part can be designed, for example, as an adapter with an input plug for a programming or audio cable (for example a telephone connection) or as a battery compartment cover with the battery held therein.
  • the part pivotally held on axis 3 is detachable from axis 3, i.e. removable or exchangeable for another part.
  • contact pieces 4,5 are provided on the lateral boundary surfaces of the opening, which are connected to the device electronics (not shown).
  • the pivotable part which can be inserted into the opening 2 is provided with an electrical input plug and with contact pieces, the latter being intended to come into active connection with the contact pieces 4, 5 in order to establish a connection between a part which can be swung out via the plug To create part of the connected external component (e.g. programming devices) and the device electronics.
  • the core idea of the present invention is to make the axis 3 electrically conductive (metallic) for the swing-out part because of the limited space available in miniaturized devices of this type and to use it as one of the electrical connecting pieces.
  • the metallic axis 3 is connected on the one hand to the device electronics and, on the other hand, it forms a mating contact for a contact piece on the part that can be swung out into the opening 2.
  • the construction is particularly suitable for programming hearing aids by using a so-called Programming adapter with input plug is inserted into opening 2 of cover plate 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a programming adapter 6 which can be inserted into the opening 2 and has an input plug 7 and contact pieces 8, 9.
  • the contact piece 9 is inserted into the groove 10, via which the adapter can be placed on the electrically conductive axis 3.
