Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing device with a housing including a housing bearing element and a control element, which is mounted by means of a control bearing element pivotally mounted in the housing bearing element.
  • hearing device is understood here to mean in particular a hearing device, but also any other sound-emitting device which can be worn in or on the ear, for example a headset, headphones and the like.
  • Hearing aids are portable hearing aids that are used to care for the hearing impaired.
  • different types of hearing aids such as behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE), hearing aid with external receiver (RIC: receiver in the canal) and in-the-ear hearing aids (IDO), e.g. Concha hearing aids or canal hearing aids (ITE, CIC).
  • BTE behind-the-ear hearing aids
  • RIC hearing aid with external receiver
  • IDO in-the-ear hearing aids
  • ITE canal hearing aids
  • the hearing aids listed by way of example are worn on the outer ear or in the ear canal.
  • bone conduction hearing aids, implantable or vibrotactile hearing aids are also available on the market. The stimulation of the damaged hearing takes place either mechanically or electrically.
  • Hearing aids have in principle as essential components an input transducer, an amplifier and an output transducer.
  • the input transducer is usually a sound receiver, z. As a microphone, and / or an electromagnetic receiver, for. B. an induction coil.
  • the output transducer is usually used as an electroacoustic transducer, z. As miniature speaker, or as an electromechanical transducer, z. B. bone conduction, realized.
  • the amplifier is usually integrated in a signal processing unit. This basic structure is in FIG. 1 shown using the example of a behind-the-ear hearing aid. In a hearing aid housing 1 for carrying behind the ear are one or more microphones 2 to Built-in sound recording from the environment.
  • a signal processing unit 3 which is also integrated in the hearing aid housing 1, processes the microphone signals and amplifies them.
  • the output signal of the signal processing unit 3 is transmitted to a loudspeaker or earpiece 4, which outputs an acoustic signal.
  • the sound is optionally transmitted via a sound tube, which is fixed with an earmold in the ear canal, to the eardrum of the device carrier.
  • the power supply of the hearing device and in particular of the signal processing unit 3 is carried out by a likewise integrated into the hearing aid housing 1 battery. 5
  • Hearing aid controls are usually mounted in the center. In the case of a button these are then to be operated vertically. Regardless of the shape and size of each control, many users find it difficult to press a button vertically. From an ergonomic point of view, oblique pressing a button from the side is much more advantageous.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an ergonomically easy-to-use hearing device, in which the manufacturing and logistics costs are reduced compared to conventional designs.
  • a hearing device with a housing including a first housing bearing element and a control element, which is mounted by means of an operating bearing element pivotally mounted in the first housing bearing element, wherein the housing has at least a second housing bearing element, so that the operating element optionally can be mounted pivotably in the first housing bearing element or in the second housing bearing element.
  • control element on the housing, without having to use different devices for the left and right side.
  • the hearing device has a button that can be operated with the operating element.
  • a button for example, an on / off switching function or a program selection function can be realized.
  • control element can have a substantially plate-shaped main body, near an end face of the main body the operating bearing element and in the region of the opposite end face of the main body a substantially vertically projecting from the plate-shaped base body operating head.
  • the operating bearing element may be coupled to the housing bearing element by a releasable snap connection.
  • this snap connection the interchangeability of the operating element or changing the storage position of the control element is much easier.
  • the hearing device is designed as an ITE hearing aid with a housing upper shell, wherein the housing bearing elements are each part of the housing upper shell.
  • the inventive, ergonomic operating concept in particular for the small ITE hearing aids are used, which often have such a housing upper shell.
  • the control can also be stored on another housing part of a hearing aid.
  • FIG. 2 illustrated copy of an operating element is used to actuate a button, not shown.
  • It consists of a substantially plate-shaped main body 10. In the present case, it is slightly curved on the surface and thus adapted for example to the surface of a housing upper shell (see 4 and 5 ).
  • the main body 10 is also formed here elongated. Therefore, the two longitudinal end faces 11 and 12 result.
  • a cylindrical axle element 13 On the underside of the main body 10 in the vicinity of a longitudinal end face 11, a cylindrical axle element 13 is arranged parallel to this end face 11 as an operating bearing element. It protrudes here something from the transverse side 14 of the body 10, but also from It also extends with its longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal end face 11 of the base body 10th
  • FIG. 3 is the control of FIG. 2 reproduced in the side view. It can be seen that the control knob 15 occupies approximately a 60 ° angle relative to the bottom 16 of the base body 10. Likewise, the axle member 13 can be seen on the opposite side. In addition, shows FIG. 3 a pin 17 which extends vertically from the bottom 16 down and serves to forward the force on the control element to a button. This in FIG. 3 shown operating element with all its components 13, 15, and 17 can be made in one piece as an injection molded part. In particular, it can be sprayed with different colors.
  • FIG. 4 is an IdO hearing aid indicated on average. It has an upper housing shell 18 and a lower shell 19, which is usually adapted to an auditory canal. A recess 20 is provided in the upper housing shell 18 into which the operating element of FIG FIG. 3 can be used. Furthermore, a first housing bearing element 21 and a second housing bearing element 22 are provided in or on the recess 20 of the housing shell 18. In the present case, the housing bearing elements 21 and 22 are realized as roundish recesses in the housing shell 18. In these recesses, the axle 13 can be snapped. According to the arrow 23, the operating element of FIG. 3 mounted on the right housing bearing element 22. Therefore, the built-in control element (push button cover) is a left feeler element, because it has its control button 15 relative to the stylus 17 on the opposite side of the right located Betrelirslager% shaft element 13th
  • control element Due to the oblique position of the control knob 15 and the special position relative to the shaft member 13, the control element can be most effective with a force in place and in the direction of the arrow 24 of FIG. 3 serve.
  • the control element can thus be actuated at an angle to the base body 10 and thus ergonomically favorable.
  • FIG. 5 shows the built-in or the upper housing shell 18 or snapped control. However, it is not pivotally mounted in the right housing bearing element 22 but with its axle element 13 in the left housing bearing element 21 here. Consequently, the control knob 15 is now on the right side with respect to the figure, so the control element "right control" can be called.
  • the provision of the control element is carried out either by the button 25 or by a separate spring, not shown, which is attached to the housing upper shell 18, for example.
  • the control element also rotated by 180 ° in the housing of the hearing device can be used.
  • the control element is square and has the housing on all sides of a square housing opening in each case a housing bearing element, the control element can be used rotated in four different directions. As a result, the ease of use can be further increased if necessary. It is also conceivable, for example, a triangular shape, any other polygonal shape or other forms of the control element, so that the operating angle can be made as ergonomic as possible.
  • the forwarding of the force from the operating element to the electronic switch takes place centrally through the pin 17 on the underside 16 of the main body 10.
  • various controls or cover designs may be provided with selectable knob size, such that e.g. a small unobtrusive control or a large eye-catching control for the respective user group can be provided.
