Abstract

The in-ear hearing aid exhibits a hearing aid (1), an intermediate housing (2) and an otoplasty (3). The intermediate housing (2) is permanently connected to the otoplasty (3) and thus forms a unit which can be subjected to cleaning. The hearing aid (1) exhibiting a round cylindrical shape is inserted into the intermediate housing (2) and can be removed without special tools in order to be able to clean the otoplasty. <IMAGE>

Description

Im-Ohr-Hörgerät für SchwerhörigeIn-the-ear hearing aid for the hard of hearing

Die Erfindung betrifft ein im-Ohr-Hörgerät für Schwerhörige mit einer Otoplastik mit Hörkanal und mit einem Hörgerät. The invention relates to an in-the-ear hearing aid for the hard of hearing with a Otoplasty with an auditory canal and with a hearing aid.

Im-Ohr-Hörgeräte werden heute aus kosmetischen Anforderungen sehr klein gebaut, wobei die Elektronik des Gerätes in eine individuelle Otoplastik ein-ebaut wird. Diese Otoplastik wird aus Kunststoff nach einem individuellen Ohrabdruck angefertigt. Dadurch stellt die Otoplastik das Gehäuse des Hörgerätes dar, was in der Praxis mit Nachteilen verbunden ist. Today, in-the-ear hearing aids are turning out to be very cosmetic requirements Built small, with the electronics of the device built into an individual otoplastic will. This otoplastic is made from plastic based on an individual ear impression. As a result, the otoplastic represents the housing of the hearing aid, which in practice is associated with disadvantages.

1. Eine industrielle Fertigung des Hörgerätes lässt sich schlecht bewerkstelligen, da das Gehäuse jedesmal individuell gefertigt werden muss. 1. Industrial production of the hearing aid is difficult accomplish, since the housing has to be manufactured individually each time.

2. Da diese im-Ohr-Geräte im Ohr getragen werden, verstopfen die akustischen Gänge zum Ohrkanal sehr oft durch Ohrwachs. Eine Reinigung ist jedoch durch das Vorhandensein der Elektronik praktisch nicht möglich. 2. Since these in-the-ear devices are worn in the ear, they clog acoustic passages to the ear canal very often through ear wax. A cleaning is however practically impossible due to the presence of electronics.

3. Bei längerem Gebrauch ergeben sich Verformungen des Ohres des Benützers, was eine Neuanpassung der Otoplastik bedingt, d.h. das Hörgerät kann nicht mehr gebraucht werden. 3. With prolonged use, deformation of the ear results User, which requires a readjustment of the otoplastic, i.e. the hearing aid can are no longer needed.

Ziel der Erfindung ist, die angegebenen Nachteile zu beheben. Dieses Ziel wird mit dem eingangs genannten Hörgerät erfindungsgemäss dadurch erreicht, dass die Otoplastik eine Oeffnung aufweist, in die das Hörgerät eingesteckt ist, derart, dass das Hörgerät absolut dicht in der Otoplastik angeordnet ist. Um dies zu ermöglichen, muss das Hörgerät sehr klein gebaut werden und eine Form aufweisen, die das Schaffen der nötigen Vertiefung in der Otoplastik möglichst vereinfacht. The aim of the invention is to remedy the stated disadvantages. This The aim is achieved according to the invention with the hearing aid mentioned at the outset by that the otoplastic has an opening into which the hearing aid is inserted, such that the hearing aid is arranged absolutely tightly in the otoplastic. To this to enable, the hearing aid must be built very small and have a shape, which simplifies the creation of the necessary recess in the otoplastic as much as possible.

Das erfindungsgemässe Hörgerät weist eine runde, zylinderische Form auf, dadurch ist die Plazierung in einer Otoplastik sehr einfach, da nur ein rundes Loch gebohrt oder gefräst werden muss. Um die Einpassung in die Otoplastik noch mehr zu erleichtern, wird in der Erfindung ein Zwischengehäuse in Form eines zylinderischen Rings verwendet, der innen die Aussenform des Hörgerätegehäuses aufweist und der in die Ohr-Otoplastik untrennbar eingebaut wird.The hearing aid according to the invention has a round, cylindrical shape This makes it very easy to place in an otoplastic, as it is only a round one Hole needs to be drilled or milled. To be able to fit into the earmold To facilitate more, is in the invention an intermediate housing in the form of a cylindrical Ring used, the inside has the outer shape of the hearing aid housing and the is inseparably built into the ear mold.

Im folgenden sind Ausführungsbeispiele des Erfindungsgegenstandes anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen: Figur 1 eine Explosionszeichnung der verschiedenen Teile des Hörgerätes, Figur 2 ein Schnittbild durch die Otoplastik und das Hörgerät, und Figur 3 eine mögliche Modifikation des in Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten Hörgerätes. The following are exemplary embodiments of the subject matter of the invention explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. They show: FIG. 1 an exploded view of the various parts of the hearing aid, FIG. 2 shows a sectional view through the otoplastic and the hearing aid, and FIG. 3 shows a possible modification of the one shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrated hearing aid.

Wie Figur 1 zeigt, ist das Hörgerät 1 als Modul industriell gefertigt, das alle Teile, wie die Batterie, die Elektronik, die elektroakustischen Wandler sowie die Bedienungselemente enthält. Dieses Modul wird vorzugsweise als runde Zylinderform ausgeführ. Das Zwischengehäuse 2, das vorzugsweise als Metallring gefertigt ist, wird normalerweise in die Otoplastik 3 fest eingebaut. As Figure 1 shows, the hearing aid 1 is industrially manufactured as a module, all parts, like the battery, the electronics, the electroacoustic converters as well as the controls. This module is preferably made as a round cylinder shape executed The intermediate housing 2, which is preferably made as a metal ring, is normally permanently installed in the otoplastic 3.

Wie Figur 2 zeigt, ist das Hörgerät 1 genaupassend in das Zwischengehäuse 2 einsteckbar. Die Verbindung zwischen Hörgerät 1 und Zwischengehäuse 2 muss absolut formschlüssig ausgeführt werden, um ein Aufkommen der akustischen Rückkoppelung zwischen Hörerausgang 4 und Mikrophon-Oeffnung 5 zu verhindern. Das aus Metall bestehende Zwischengehäuse 2 wird in die individuelle Otoplastik 3 vorzugsweise eingegossen oder in eine Bohrung eingeleimt, um eine feste Verbindung zwischen diesen herzustellen. Dadurch lässt sich das Hörgerät 1 ein durch das Zwischengehäuse 2 und der Otoplastik 3 gebildeten Einheit durch den Benützer auf einfache Weise herausziehen. As FIG. 2 shows, the hearing aid 1 fits exactly into the intermediate housing 2 insertable. The connection between hearing aid 1 and intermediate housing 2 must be absolute form fit to be performed to an occurrence of acoustic feedback between receiver output 4 and microphone opening 5. The one made of metal Intermediate housing 2 is preferably cast into the individual otoplastic 3 or glued into a hole to create a firm connection between them. As a result, the hearing aid 1 can be inserted through the intermediate housing 2 and the otoplastic 3 can be easily pulled out by the user.

Wie aus Figur 3 ersichtlich ist, kann das beschriebenen Hörgerät 1 auch ohne das Zwischengehäuse 2 direkt auf eine Teilotoplastik 6 aufgesteckt werden, wobei der Hörerausgang 4 als Verbindungselement verwendet wird. Dies ist in jenen Fällen angebracht, wo der Rauminhalt des Ohres eine ganze Otoplastik nicht zulässt. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the hearing aid described can 1 can also be attached directly to a partial earmold 6 without the intermediate housing 2, the receiver output 4 being used as a connecting element. This is in those It is appropriate in cases where the volume of the ear does not allow an entire earmold.
