Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hearing aid especially suitable for wearing on the auricle or behind the ear according to the wording of claim 1.
- Hearing aids worn on the pinna or behind the ear usually point at the output for the acoustic signal a so-called hearing aid or a curved one Acoustic transmission element to which an acoustic Connection hose is plugged on to transmit the Signals or sounds in the ear canal.
- This on the hearing aid arranged transmission element including hose to Ear canal is conspicuous, usually does not fit optimal to the anatomical circumstances, and also can themselves due to the bend and paragraphs in the acoustic Transmission channel jumps in impedance or interference in the Adjust sound transmission.
- the W099 / 04601 proposed a preformed Connection hose made of a rigid material for the Use acoustic signal transmission. It is disadvantage that practically every hose specifically to the the respective anatomy of an ear has to be adjusted.
- a hearing aid is proposed according to the invention, especially suitable for wearing on the auricle or behind the ear, according to the wording of claim 1.
- a Bending angle of approximately 90 ° is proposed a tubular at the acoustic output Arrange connection element for connecting the output with a hose for sound or acoustic transmission into the ear canal, the bending angle of which is ⁇ 80 °.
- the hose into the connector, i.e. the Inner diameter of the acoustic transmission channel in the Connection element corresponds approximately to the outside diameter of the Hose so the latter in these acoustic Transmission channel can be introduced.
- connection element it is also proposed the hose in the connection element to be arranged firmly, for example by means of gluing, welding, by making the interface between Hose and connection element, etc.
- a at the acoustic output of the hearing aid Connection part to be provided for the direct connection of the acoustic output with the hose, such as by forming a connection piece, collar, etc.
- connection element can be achieved, whereby commercially available, generally flexible connecting hoses can be used. But it is also possible that To a large extent to form the connecting element and one at least partially pre-bent sound tube use.
- a hearing aid 1 is shown schematically in section in FIG. 1 shown having one at its upper end Acoustic output 3, at which a so-called Hook 5 is arranged.
- a hose is usually plugged in for that Transmission of the acoustic or sound signal on or in the Ear canal of an ear.
- connection element 7 the Sound tube 9 is guided.
- the hose 9 directly on a nozzle or Connected nipple 13, which at the acoustic output 3 of the Hearing aid 1 is formed above.
- the Hose 9 inserted into the connecting element 7, wherein the acoustic channel 8 provided in the connecting element 7 has a Has inner diameter, which is about External diameter of the hose 9 corresponds.
- the connection element 7 is designed to be relatively rigid Hose 9 firmly at acoustic output 3 of hearing aid 1 held by the connecting element 7 on a thread 11 is rotated and held at the acoustic output.
- the hose 9 is preferably with the connecting element 7 firmly, for example by gluing or welding, connected, so that pulling out is impossible.
- a pre-bent can also Hose 9 are used, which is preferably optimal is adapted to the anatomy of the ear.
- the one to be used Hose preferably from a series of "standardized" pre-bent hoses selected.
- connection element 7 and the hose 9 one unit, so that also a selection of different ones Angle / hose combinations is possible.
- connection element 7 and sound transmission hose 9 a optimal adaptation to the anatomy of the ear can be, which is particularly evident in reducing the Abnormality manifested when wearing a hearing aid.
- a largely continuous transmission of the Noise can be achieved and also the bend largely evenly, so that the appearance of Impedance jumps or jumps in sound transmission can be avoided or reduced.
- the Acousticians change a sound tube separately and that The contra-angle remains in each case.
- connection element 7 a bend of at least ⁇ 80 ° is a key differentiator compared to the hooks or Hörwinkeln.
