Definitions

  • Surface coatings are also known develop a bactericidal or fungicidal effect. This effect can for example contained in the coating Silver ions are based, which diffuse to the layer surface. Such coatings are used, for example, for sterilization medical instruments used.
  • the housing in addition to the Transducer membrane also the housing, especially the inside of the housing, and the sound channel of the miniature transducer coated with the properties mentioned.
  • the coating leads to a reduction in the surface energy, making dirt particles no longer permanent can accumulate. Liquid or solid foreign substances are so the coated surfaces. In particular can Cerumen parts are difficult to accumulate. Should still cerumen be deposited on the housing or the sound channel clog, this can be due to the lack of liability to the Surfaces are easily shaken out. A corresponding Shaping the sound channel or the housing makes this easier Shaking.
  • the coating 7 By adding a silver compound, the silver ions releases, the coating 7 also acts on bacteria and anti-fungal, making the settlement more harmful Bacteria or fungi inside the hearing aid microphone are prevented becomes. This can also damage the Prevent hearing aid microphones.
