20080273732 | Connecting element for a carrying hook of a hearing device - In order to connect a hearing device to a carrying hook, a connecting element is used, which has to satisfy high demands with regards to its precision and stability. To ensure this, the connecting element is designed as a powder injection molded part, in particular as a ceramic injection molded part or metal part, which is manufactured in a ceramic injection molding process or a metal injection molding process. | 11-06-2008 |
20080298618 | Earpiece for a hearing apparatus with a securing ring - A cerumen protection system is to be held more securely in an earpiece of a hearing apparatus which can be worn in the ear. In particular, this is to be able to be ensured for the earpiece piece of an external receiver of a behind-the-ear hearing device. An earpiece with a sound exit opening and a cerumen protection facility which has an annular carrier and which is arranged in the sound exit opening, is provided, with the earpiece being manufactured from a rubbery-elastic material. A securing ring is also provided, which surrounds the sound exit opening, the inner diameter of which is smaller than the outer diameter of the carrier of the cerumen protection facility, which is less elastic than the earpiece and is fixedly integrated in the earpiece. The sound exit opening is thus reinforced so that the cerumen protection facility is not able to slide out thereof. | 12-04-2008 |
20090022347 | Hearing Apparatus with a Linear Switch - A hearing apparatus allowing a user to reliably switch the apparatus on and/or off includes a battery compartment for a battery and an actuation element disposed at the battery compartment for switching the apparatus on and/or off. A contact element has a contact point and taps an electric potential on the battery with the contact point when the actuation element is in a first position. The actuation element, in a second position linearly displaced from the first position, lifts the contact element at a lifting section of the contact element being different from the contact point, to remove the contact point of the contact element from the battery. Thus, the contact point of the contact element only contacts the battery and no additional material, preventing materials from being scratched and an electric circuit from being interrupted and ensures that an even, grippable surface of the actuation element is always available. | 01-22-2009 |
20090041261 | Receiver facility with an elastically mounted receiver - In the case of a receiver facility to be fixed in the auditory canal, particularly for hearing devices with an external receiver, the receiver is to be mounted in the earmold in an acoustically advantageous fashion which guards against contaminations and is also easily exchangeable. Provision is thus made for a receiver facility with a longish receiver and a earmold, which has a borehole, into which the receiver is inserted. A tubular connector, which is more elastic than the receiver and the earmold, is used to accommodate for the most part the longitudinal extension of the receiver in a friction-locking fashion. The connector is for its part force-fitted into a borehole of the earmold in a friction-locking fashion. The receiver is thus elastically mounted and can be easily removed from the earmold together with the connector with the aid of a pin-like tool for replacement purposes. | 02-12-2009 |
20090310806 | Hearing Device with a Battery Compartment to Accommodate a Battery Secured by a Spring Element - A battery compartment has a spring element for securing a battery in the battery compartment where the spring element is secured in the battery compartment in such a way that it can be replaced, for example upon slackening of the spring tension. According to one embodiment of the invention, the nature of the spring element additionally identifies the setting or the function of the hearing device | 12-17-2009 |
20100027825 | Ear mold for a hearing device - In one aspect an ear mold for a hearing device is provided. The ear mol includes an opening for accommodating a snap-on element arranged on a receiver or a sound tube, with the opening being lined with a hard layer. A device having a receiver or a sound tube and a snap-on element are likewise specified. | 02-04-2010 |
20100172528 | BATTERY COMPARTMENT WITH LATCHING ELEMENT FOR A BEHIND-THE-EAR HEARING DEVICE AND BEHIND-THE-EAR HEARING DEVICE - A battery compartment for a behind-the-ear hearing device includes a battery compartment body having a battery receiving space for accommodating a battery and at least one latching element for locking to a hearing device housing. The latching element and the battery compartment body are formed of different materials and the latching element is disposed in a holding device in the battery compartment body. A behind-the-ear hearing device with a latching element and the use of polyoxymethylene for manufacturing the latching element, are likewise provided. As a result of the separation of the latching element and the battery compartment body and the use of different materials, a switching and locking function can be optimized and the wearing quality can be improved. | 07-08-2010 |
