Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid / tinitus masking system according to claim 1.
  • Hearing aids to amplify the audible frequency range or to amplify certain frequency ranges in the audible Area are known. It is also known the real thing Hearing aid modules in standard shells or customized Use earmolds.
  • tinitus maskers For the treatment and coverage of tinitus disorders So-called tinitus maskers are known, which are broadband generate masking noise of low intensity.
  • combination devices are also known in which the function of a hearing aid or hearing aid module and one Tinitusmaskers is realized in one device.
  • the patient can use the hearing aid function and the tinitus masker function or one Choose a combination of these two functions. Examples for this are those from Starkey under the Designation MA3 and MA1 distributed devices.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the Parallel operation of tinitus masker and hearing aid to the unsatisfactory results in the area of relief Leads to tinitus symptoms.
  • both tinitus masking function as well as the hearing aid function are activated.
  • the soft earmold in particular also ensures that the tinitus mask module can be worn at night without being uncomfortable Leads to pressure pain. Wearing the tinitus mask module in The soft otoplastic at night is very beneficial because at night without the hearing aid function without problems can be. Training away the tinitus sound takes place in your sleep, so to speak.
  • the first and / or the second earmold are individual adapted plastics, which increases comfort.
  • the Invention allows the degree of amplification of the Adjust the hearing aid module so that with a single type different hearing impairments from hearing aid module can be covered.
  • the adjustability can be by means of corresponding controls on the hearing aid module or by means of known remote control.
  • the frequency range and / or the intensity the noise generated by the tinitus masking module adjustable is the frequency range and / or the intensity the noise generated by the tinitus masking module adjustable.
  • This also allows one Tinitus mask module different tinitus symptoms be covered.
  • the adjustability can also be over corresponding control elements on the tinitus masking module or be effected by remote control. Through the The patient can adjust himself to those Find the value that is optimal for him.
  • the system additionally comprises at least one Filter module with which certain frequency ranges filter or let steam.
  • Filter module with which certain frequency ranges filter or let steam.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically a hard shell 2 and one soft shell 4 of a hearing aid to be worn in the ear.
  • the Reference numeral 6 denotes a tinitus mask module
  • the Reference number 8 is a hearing aid module
  • reference number 10 a filter module.
  • Modules 6 to 10 can each both in the soft shell 2 and in the hard shell Insert 4.
  • the gain of the hearing aid module 8 can adjust in the range from 0 to 30 dB.
  • the maximum Output sound level can be reduced to 30 dB.
  • the Noise-ready intensity of the tinitus mask module 6 can regulate in steps of 1 dB.
  • Bowls 2 and 4 can both for wearing in the ear canal, in the Auricle or as parts to be worn behind the ear be in the mood.
