20080199031 | Hearing apparatus with a magnetically attached battery holding device - A hearing apparatus is to be provided, with which the battery can be exchanged in an almost wear-free fashion. Provision is thus made to magnetically attach a battery compartment or a battery holding device in the housing of the hearing apparatus or hearing device. The battery holding device is inserted into an opening in the housing. A detachable magnetic connection realized by magnetic elements thus exists between the housing and the battery holding device, the principle force component of which runs in the insertion direction. It is thus possible to dispense with plug or snap connections for instance. | 08-21-2008 |
20080205680 | Behind-the-ear hearing device with a magnetically-attached ear hook - An ear hook is to be able to be tightly attached to a hearing device housing in a simple fashion. To this end, provision is made for it to be possible to clip the ear hook onto the hearing device housing. One of the two parts; hearing device housing and ear hook has a sound outlet tube, which can be inserted into a corresponding opening in the other part. The two parts are detachably fastened to one another in an axial direction in respect of the sound outlet tube by means of a magnetic connection. The magnetic connection ensures that the two components are fitted tightly onto one another, though it enables said two components to rotate in respect of each other. | 08-28-2008 |
20080232626 | Hearing apparatus with removable volume control module - A volume control module of a hearing apparatus and specifically a hearing device is to be easily replaceable. A volume control module including a mounting element, specifically a PCB, and including a volume control mounted on the mounting element, is accordingly provided. The mounting element, e.g. the PCB, features at least one fixing recess. A pin element is inserted in the housing recess and in the fixing recess in a form-fit and removable fashion. Thus the volume control module can be removed from the housing once the pin element has been removed from the fixing recess. Secure mounting of the volume control module in the housing, but also at the same time rapid replacement of the volume control module, is thereby possible. | 09-25-2008 |
20080232628 | Hearing device with a securing system for a receiver tube - The invention relates to a securing system for a receiver tube in a hearing device. The object of the invention is to provide a securing system for the receiver tube in a hearing device, which reliably prevents the occurrence of disruptive acoustic feedback and does not require adhesive to secure the receiver tube. This object of the invention is achieved with a hearing device, in particular a BTE hearing device, in which a receiver facility is disposed, wherein the hearing device has a connector piece, which is connected to the receiver facility by way of a receiver tube, in order to conduct an acoustic signal or acoustic signals generated by the receiver facility to an acoustic output of the hearing device, with the receiver tube being provided with a connecting element, which connects the receiver tube and the connector piece to each other in an essentially acoustically sealed manner. | 09-25-2008 |
20080298620 | Wearing hook with metal section for a hearing device - A wearing hook is provided for the behind-the-ear hearing device to improve acoustic stability. The wearing hook being composed of a metal part and a plastic part. The wearing hook is split substantially at a right angle to the sound channel, which runs along the inside of a wearing hook, into a first section and a second section. The first section, via which the wearing hook is mountable on the behind-the-ear hearing device, is substantially composed of a plastic. On the other hand the second section is substantially composed of a metal. The additional mass of the metal reduces the vibrations at the point of the wearing hook so that acoustic stability is improved. | 12-04-2008 |
20090016553 | HEARING AID WITH COMPONENT MOUNTED IN THE HOUSING BY A DAMPING CLIP - A hearing aid has at least one converter element which, in order to reduce mechanical vibrations, is flexibly attached inside or at the hearing aid housing. The converter is mounted in the housing by at least one clip that flexibly is moveable or displaceable in its range of action like a spring, in order to damp and attach the converter element. | 01-15-2009 |
20090022349 | Configuration with a Wearing Hook for Hearing Devices and Associated Method - A wearing hook for hearing devices has at least one device disposed in a sound channel of the wearing hook. The device is able to influence interfering sound-induced oscillations of the wearing hook. The device is for instance a tube made of metal. An associated method is likewise described for influencing the oscillations. | 01-22-2009 |
20090092270 | Hearing aid - Hearing aid with a first housing part to accommodate an electrical energy source, a second housing part to accommodate an electronic component and a third housing part to transmit an acoustic stimulus into the ear of a user, wherein the housing parts have a detachable, fluid-tight connection to one another and a facility for selecting an operating state is present in the first or second housing part, having an operating element, which is arranged in a fluid-tight manner on the outside of the housing part. | 04-09-2009 |
20090129618 | Hearing Aid Having an Operating Device - A hearing aid has an operating device with an operating element for activating a first operating function and a second operating function of the hearing aid. The operating device is configured to cause an execution of an operating function of the hearing aid by activating the corresponding operating function via the operating element. The operating device suppresses the execution of the first operating function by activating the first operating function via the operating element if the second operating function is activated via the operating element. | 05-21-2009 |
20090252359 | Battery compartment door - A battery compartment door for an electronic device, said door being operable between open and closed conditions of use with respect to the device, including a cradle shaped to at least partially receive a terminal of a battery, wherein the cradle is adapted to electrically couple the terminal to an electric circuit of the device when the door is arranged in the closed condition of use. | 10-08-2009 |
20110013797 | HEARING AID WITH AN INTERCHANGEABLE EARPIECE - A hearing aid has an interchangeable earpiece, which, on its own and separately from further components, can be replaced in a simple fashion and without great complexity, and without specialist tools. The hearing aid has a housing of a multi-part design and a receiver and a signal processing device within the housing. The receiver is arranged detachably in a first housing part and the signal processing device is disposed in a further housing part and the two housing parts are detachably interconnected. A detachable locking mechanism connects the housing parts. The receiver is connected to the signal processing device by way of a detachable electrical connector with a receiver-side and a signal-processing-device-side electrical contact. At least one of the electrical contacts is elastic. Due to the fact that the housing parts, the electrical connection and the receiver are detachably assembled, this results in the possibility of, when necessary, interchanging the receiver on its own, separately from further components. It is not necessary to use specific components or even an adhesive. In the process, the elastic electrical contact for electrically connecting the receiver and signal processing device makes it easier to close the electrical connection when assembling the housing parts. | 01-20-2011 |
