Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid, in particular for attachment behind the outer ear of a user.
  • BTE hearing aids Behind the outer ear of the user to be attached hearing aids, so-called BTE hearing aids, generally have a hearing aid part with a microphone, Amplifier and speaker and one of the hearing aid part outgoing Sound tube on, which led into the auditory canal of the user becomes. This is at the end of the sound tube z.T. a lard deflector or Cerumen Defenser provided, which is inserted into the ear canal.
  • the insertion depth of the Schmalzabweisers is to be selected such that he sits firmly enough in the ear canal and allows a good sound input, However, no risk of injury to the user z. B. on the eardrum can occur.
  • this contact can be pulled out of the ear canal or into the Auditory canal are pushed into it, so that the selected position changes becomes.
  • EP 1 377 113 A2 shows a headset for fastening a functional device, the e.g. a microphone or a hearing aid can be. in this connection an insert body is placed in the concha and one of the insert body outgoing, flexible, stiff stirrup in the Concha braced, z. B. against the anthelix of the ear.
  • DE 100 50 766 A1 shows such individually adapted in FIGS. 1 to 5, rigid earmold, with one end inserted into the ear canal is and completely accommodates an inserted into a sound tube elbow; This makes the use of a Schmalzab Stammers superfluous. With the other end of the earmold is attached to the outer edge of the Concha laid.
  • the earmold can also have an angled sound tube take, if necessary, at its end a short Schmalzabweiser or cerumen defenser for insertion into the ear canal has.
  • the invention is based on the object, a hearing aid and a method to attach the hearing aid to the outer ear to create a ensure safe positioning of the lard deflector.
  • the clip is advantageously in the longitudinal direction on the Schmalzabweiser slidable, leaving a free length of Schmalzabweisers can be customized for use in the ear canal. hereby is a safe, fast and individual adjustment possible in both slipping out or pulling out the Schmalzabweisers and a deeper penetration into the ear canal is reliably prevented.
  • the fixation of the Schmalzabweisers thus by the jamming of the bracket and not by a painful frictional connection of the Schmalzabweisers for the user take place in the ear canal.
  • the free length range of the Schmalzabweisers can basically even without friction in the Auditory canal are used and thereby the inclusion of additional Sound waves from the surrounding space allow.
  • the sound signals in sound waves converting Speaker be provided in the hearing aid part, which with the Schmalzabweiser is connected via a sound tube.
  • the speaker can also be provided directly in the Schmalzabweiser so that the hearing aid part with the Schmalzabweiser via lines, e.g. a wire bundle connected.
  • the compound thus, in principle, be carried out indirectly between the hearing aid part.
  • the Schmalzabweiser is advantageously formed with angled two legs, one of which serves as a connecting leg for connection with the sound tube or wire bundle and the other as insert legs used to hold the clip and insert into the ear canal.
  • the bend This can represent a stop for the clip, so that a slipping of the clip clips is safely limited.
  • the clip is advantageously made of a flexible, elastic, especially stiff, plastic material, eg. As silicone, manufactured and effected thus no significant weight increase.
  • the Schmalzabweiser also be formed integrally with the sound tube. He is thus Can be used directly in the outer ear by bending, without individual adaptation and caused by its tension in the Concha secure fixation.
  • the bracket of the clip clips from its through hole up to its end a length of 3.5 cm to 5 cm.
  • the hearing aid can in particular a BTE hearing aid with in the hearing aid part recorded microphone and amplifier; basically can in However, the hearing aid part e.g. also a receiver for wireless recording transmitted signals and forwarding to an amplifier and the speaker be provided.
  • the hearing aid part e.g. also a receiver for wireless recording transmitted signals and forwarding to an amplifier and the speaker be provided.
  • the hearing aid part can advantageously behind the outer ear of the user be settable.
  • a sieve provided for holding earwax.
  • the tension of the bracket against the Concha effected advantageously a pushing the Schmalzabweiser against a wall of the ear canal Force.
  • a hearing aid 1 has a hearing aid part 2 for attachment behind an outer ear 3 of a user, an outgoing from the hearing aid part 2 sound tube 4, one connected to the sound tube 4 in a connector 5 Schmalzabweiser 6 or cerumen defenser from z.
  • the hearing aid part 2 has a housing 10 in a manner known per se and in the housing 10 - in Figure 1 only functionally indicated - a Microphone 11 for recording sound waves and output of first sound signals S1, an amplifier device 12 for receiving the first sound signals S1 and output amplified sound signals S2 and a speaker 14 to Recording of the amplified sound signals S2 and output of sound waves SW in the connected to the housing 10 sound tube 4.
  • a Microphone 11 for recording sound waves and output of first sound signals S1
  • an amplifier device 12 for receiving the first sound signals S1 and output amplified sound signals S2 and a speaker 14 to Recording of the amplified sound signals S2 and output of sound waves SW in the connected to the housing 10 sound tube 4.
  • Of the Sound tube 4 directs the sound waves SW in the middle region of the outer ear 3, z. B. already in the vicinity of the concha 15 of the outer ear 3, where he is connected in the connector 5 with the Schmalzabweiser 6.
  • the Schmalzabweiser 6 angling 18 and from the bend 18 under z. B. outgoing a right angle a connecting leg serving as a plug leg 19 with a Plug end 20 for use in the sound tube 4 under clamping Expansion of the end region and an insert leg 22 for use in the outgoing from the Concha 15 auditory canal 24 of the user on.
  • the insert leg 22 extends in this case at least substantially straight, preferably completely straight.
  • the Schmalzabweiser 6 passes thus recorded by the sound tube 4 sound waves SW through his Angled sound channel 26 directly into the ear canal 24. At the end his insert leg 22, the Schmalzabweiser 6 two of his Sound channel 26 have right angles outgoing holes 27.
  • the bracket clip 9 has a top portion 30 with a through hole 31, through which the insert leg 22 of the Schmalzabweisers 6 inserted is.
  • the insert leg 22 is lightweight Oversize formed opposite to the through hole 31, so that the clip clip 9 with a sufficient frictional engagement or a sufficient Clamping action on the insert leg 22 is pushed.

  • the bracket clip 9 is with its attachment portion 30 in the longitudinal direction of the Insert leg 22 slidably, wherein the displacement by the bend 18 is limited, in which the top section 30 against the beginning of the Plug leg 19 butts.
  • the hearing aid part 2 is placed behind the outer ear 3 and before or after the Schmalzabweiser 6 inserted into the sound tube 4 and the clip clip 9 pushed onto the Schmalzabweiser 6.
  • a free length I of the insert leg 22 of Schmalzabweisers 6 Before inserting the Schmalzabweisers 6 in the ear canal 24 of the User is a free length I of the insert leg 22 of Schmalzabweisers 6 by moving the clip clips 9 to the user or his Depth of the ear canal 24 adapted so that the insert leg 22 with a suitable penetration depth t placed in the ear canal 24 of the user becomes.
  • the free length I may be slightly larger than the penetration depth t, when the clip 9 is not completely applied to the Concha 15.
  • the penetration depth t can be chosen such that a safe and sound is introduced into the ear canal 24, without the user, z. B. damage his eardrum.
  • the device position is through Clamping action of the bracket clip 9 on the insert leg 22 and the tension securely fixed by the bracket 33 of the clip clips 9 in the conch 27.
