Definitions

  • Head sets are used in particular to attach microphones to the user's head. This allows the user to enter a voice into the microphone without the user having to hold the microphone with his hands. Headsets of this type generally have, similarly to headphones, a headband which is placed over the head and which, because of its elasticity, tensions the head set on the head. You can e.g. B. of singers in life appearances or emergency services, e.g. B. the police can be used for communication.
  • head sets are known in the medical field for attaching transmitters for cochlear implants.
  • Cochlear implants are implanted in the head of severely damaged inner ear hearing impaired people and have a receiving coil, a receiver connected to the receiving coil and a bundle of electrodes that protrude into the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerve.
  • the Audible signals are e.g. B. as FM waves from a transmitter attached to the outside of the head through the skull to the receiving coil of the cochlear implant. To do this, the transmitter must be positioned firmly on the outside of the user's head.
  • head sets are known which are fixed in the patient's ear with a bending element by means of an otoplastic. The bending element is designed in such a way that it maintains its respective bending position so that the clinician or the patient can bring the head set into the optimal position, which it then maintains.
  • DE 201 05 562 U1 describes such a head set.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a head set that ensures a safe positioning of a functional device in the head area of the user and yet is small and not too bulky, advantageously perceived by a user as not too disturbing.
  • a head set which has an insert body for insertion into a concha of an ear, a flexible, stiff strap attached to the insert body for engagement in the concha, a holding device connected to the insert body for receiving the functional device, wherein the insert body can be inserted into the concha of the ear and can be fixed in the concha by bending the strap.
  • the head set according to the invention can in particular be used as a microphone holder for positioning a microphone Functional device in the mouth area of the user can be used as a holder for a transmitter of a cochlear implant or a hearing aid.
  • the invention is based on the finding that a secure positioning of the functional device is possible by inserting or tensioning a bracket in the concha of the outer ear of the user.
  • the bracket is flexible and yet stiff.
  • a piece of wire fastened with one end to the insert body of the head set can be used, which enables a form-fitting or force-fitting insert on the outer edge of the concha, in particular on the anthelix of the ear.
  • the length of the wire piece can lie against the Anthelix, or cause tension by contacting some points of the Anthelix or the Crus Anthelicis or Crus Helicis.
  • the piece of wire can e.g. 2-3 mm, e.g. B.
  • the wire piece serving as a bracket can be 25-40 mm, preferably 30-35 mm, e.g. B. 31 mm, be long.
  • the insert body is advantageously hook-shaped with a lower section which is inserted into the concha and an elongated section.
  • the elongated section takes the z. B. designed as a holding wire piece holding device for the microphone.
  • the elongated section can over the front lower end of the concha, especially under the tragus, antitragus or incisura intertragica.
  • the insert body is z. B. formed with a flattening or indentation for contact with the tragus of the ear, which is advantageously formed on the opposite side of the attachment of the piece of wire.
  • the holding device z. B. a length of 5-8 cm.
  • the head set according to the invention can thus be fastened in the outer ear without interfering with the outer ear, such as a spectacle temple. H. to be placed around the auricle.
  • the attachment here does not require use in the auditory canal such. B. with an earmold in the ear of a patient.
  • the acoustic pickup of the ear is thus not or only insignificantly impaired; in particular, the auditory canal is not closed by the head set according to the invention.
  • the head set according to the invention can thus be made small and in particular also with low weight, so that the movement of the user's head is not perceived as disturbing.
  • the headset can be a holder for a hearing aid.
  • the hearing aid serving as the functional device can be connected to the insert body, for example, via a sound tube.
  • the insert body with the projection to be inserted into the auditory canal can be designed to be sound-permeable, for example as an open plastic plug.
  • the hearing aid is thus held in whole or in part by the head set and can be worn behind the outer ear, for example become. It can be provided interchangeably on the sound tube, for example.
  • a head set 1 has a hook-shaped insert body 2 which, according to the subdivision with dashed lines, is composed of a lower round plate 3.1, a middle part 3.2 and an upper part 3.3. The parts are held together by screws 9 inserted from below. On the lower plate 3.1, a contact surface 7 and an eccentric projection 4 for use in the entrance area of the auditory canal of the user is formed, the projection 4 z. B. can be cylindrical or flared.
  • the three-part insert body 2 has a shape with a lower section 5 and an elongated section 6, which together form a hook shape.
  • a round recess 11 is formed in the insert body 2 - advantageously in the middle part 3.2 a piece of wire 10 is inserted with one end.
  • the opposite end 12 projects freely without attachment.
  • a cap (not shown) can be placed on the free end 12.
  • the wire piece 10 is advantageously made of several, for. B. three or four twisted individual wire pieces formed with a suitable coating, in particular a sterile or chemically inert coating, for. B. plastic coating are encased. Such twisted individual wire pieces enable a high bending ability without breaking or cracking and a high bending stiffness and dimensional stability after bending.
  • the wire bracket 10 can have a high bending stiffness without elastic compliance; however, it can also have an elastic spring force of z. B. 20 to 50 N, e.g. B. 0.39 N (corresponding to 40 g) for bracing the wire bracket in the ear.
  • the wire bracket can e.g. B. 25-40 mm, e.g. B. 30-35 mm, in particular 31 mm, long to allow a good attachment in the conchea in the manner described below.
  • the wire bracket 10 has z. B. a diameter of 2.7 or 2.8 mm.
  • a flat flattened portion 8 (or also, for example, a concave indentation) is formed on the insert body 2 for abutment against a tragus 24 of the user.
  • the flat 8 is formed on the opposite side to the recess 11 for the wire bracket 10; the projection 4 is advantageously also positioned somewhat eccentrically towards this side according to FIG. 2.
  • a microphone 16 is attached for positioning in the mouth area of the user.
  • the holding wire 14 is also flexible and stiff and can basically be constructed in accordance with the piece of wire 10.
  • the head set 1 is used by placing the contact surface 7 in the concha 21 of the outer ear 20 of the user, the elongated section 6, in particular with the flattened portion 8, being in contact with the tragus 24 and over the tragus 24, Antitragus 27 or the Incisura Intertragica, so that it - like the retaining wire 14 attached to it - extends towards the mouth area of the user.
  • the attachment in the concha 21 of the outer ear 20 is carried out by bending the wire bracket 10, z. B. by placing on the outside of the concha 21.
  • the wire bracket 10 can be braced against the Anthelix 23, optionally also the Crus Helicis 25.
