Abstract

The hearing aid device has an audio input coupled to a plug-in microphone which has a stabilised sub-structure to provide a continuous approximately horizontal directional characteristic for receiving the speech input. Pref. the body noise of the microphone carrier is suppressed by mechanical or physical means, the efficiency of the microphone increased by incorporating an amplifier which can be individually adjusted. A wind protection device can prevent interference in the received speech signals. ADVANTAGE - Allows microphone to be held in the hand, or placed on a table surface without impairing reception.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

In der Entwicklung hörakustischer Geräte und Hilfsmittel für Schwer­ hörige wurde bereits ein sehr hoher Standard erreicht. Von den ein­ fachsten Hörhilfen bis zu leistungsstarken digital programmierbaren Hörgeräten mit modischem Styling oder in Minigrößen, einschließlich drahtloser Ton-Übertragung für Musik- und Wort-Darbietungen in Opern­ häusern und Theatern, steht auf dem hörakustischen Markt alles zur Verfügung.In the development of hearing acoustic devices and aids for heavy people A very high standard has already been achieved. Of the one most specialized hearing aids up to powerful digitally programmable Hearing aids with fashionable styling or in mini sizes, including wireless sound transmission for music and word performances in operas houses and theaters, everything is available on the hearing-acoustic market Available.

Für Hörgeschädigte höheren Grades gibt es u. a. die Möglichkeit, bei Gesprächen im kleineren Kreise, zusätzlich ein Mikrophon an die Hör­ geräte mit Audio-Eingang über eine Kabelverbindung anzuschließen, und das Mikrophon auf den Tisch zu stellen oder dem Gesprächspartner in die Hand zu geben. Bei Tischgesprächen wird es normalerweise erforder­ lich, das Mikrophon stets zum augenblicklichen Gesprächspartner aus­ zurichten, da sich die Richtwirkung bei Tischgesprächen, bedingt durch den zentralen Standort, bei mehreren Gesprächspartnern nachteilig auswirkt. Diesen Nachteil erkennt man sowohl bei Mikrophonen mit einer Nieren-, als auch mit einer Kugelcharakteristik. Auch das Herumreichen des Mikrophons bei mehreren Gesprächspartnern führt zu sehr großen psychischen Belastungen, sowohl beim Schwerhörigen, als auch bei den anderen Anwesenden.For hearing impaired people of a higher degree there may be a. the opportunity at Talks in smaller circles, additionally a microphone to the hearing connect devices with audio input via a cable connection, and to put the microphone on the table or to the conversation partner to shake hands. It is usually required for table discussions Lich, the microphone always to the current conversation partner to prepare, as the directivity in table discussions, due to the central location, disadvantageous for several conversation partners affects. This disadvantage can be seen in both microphones with a Cardioid, as well as with a spherical characteristic. Passing around too the microphone with several conversation partners leads to very large ones psychological stress, both in the hearing impaired and in the other attendees.

Diese psychologischen Nöte in zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen lassen sich durch entsprechende technische Maßnahmen sehr wahrscheinlich er­ heblich abmindern. "Schwerhörigkeit ist eine menschliche Katastrophe", sie trennt Menschen, macht mißtrauisch, reizbar und aggressiv. Diese psychische Belastung gilt es zu mildern.Let these psychological needs in interpersonal relationships very likely through appropriate technical measures reduce significantly. "Hearing loss is a human disaster," it separates people, makes them suspicious, irritable and aggressive. This The aim is to alleviate psychological stress.

Problem-LösungTroubleshooting

Einfache, begrenzte technische Maßnahmen im täglichen Umgang des Schwer­ hörigen mit seiner Umwelt können zu einer physisch und somit auch zu einer psychischen Entlastung aller Beteiligten führen. Günstige Bedin­ gungen können bei einem annähernd konstanten Abstand der Gesprächspart­ ner durch folgende technische Maßnahmen erreicht werden:Simple, limited technical measures in the daily handling of the heavy can belong to his environment physically and thus also to lead to a psychological relief for all involved. Cheap bedin can be at an almost constant distance from the conversation partner can be achieved by the following technical measures:

Die Wirkungsbreite eines am Hörgerät mit Audio-Eingang des Schwerhöri­ gen angeschlossenen Mikrophons wird dadurch optimiert, daß es z. B. vor der Brust des Schwerhörigen getragen wird, so daß die Gespräche anderer Anwesenden ohne zusätzliches Ausrichten des Mikrophons erfaßt werden können. Die Richtcharakteristik des Ansteck-Mikrophons soll etwa waagerecht verlaufen, wozu das Mikrophon zur Stabilisierung auf einer rechtwinklig dazu angeordneten Unterkonstruktion zu montieren ist (Platte, Rosette, Winkel, Kreuz u. a.). Das Mikrophon ist dann, je nach den Erfordernissen mit einer Nieren-, Kugel- oder Keulencharakteristik ausgerüstet, stets in Richtung des Gesprächspartners gewandt.The range of effects of a hearing aid with audio input of the hearing impaired gene connected microphones is optimized in that it z. B. is worn in front of the chest of the hearing impaired, so that the conversations other attendees recorded without additional alignment of the microphone can be. The directional characteristic of the clip-on microphone should run approximately horizontally, for which purpose the microphone for stabilization a substructure arranged at right angles to it must be installed (Plate, escutcheon, angle, cross, etc.). The microphone is then, depending on  the requirements with a cardioid, spherical or club characteristic equipped, always turned towards the interlocutor.

Infolge des heutigen Standes der Technik ist es auch möglich, auf klein­ stem Raum einen zusätzlichen Verstärker in der Unterkonstruktion ein­ zubauen. Das Anschlußkabel ist dann auf kürzestem Wege - ohne Kabelwirr­ warr - zu den Hörgeräten mit Audio-Eingang zum Ohr zu führen. Sowohl in der Wohnung, als auch außerhalb kann dann ohne aufwendige zusätzliche Technik stets, wenn erforderlich, auf Empfang geschaltet werden, da man problemlos Hörgerät(e), einschließlich Mikrophon, in Bereitschaft falten kann, und der Schwerhörige somit immer die Hände frei hat.Due to the current state of the art it is also possible to be small an additional amplifier in the substructure to build. The connecting cable is then the shortest way - without cable tangle warr - to lead to the hearing aids with audio input to the ear. As well in the apartment, as well as outside, can then be used without any additional effort Technology must always be switched to reception, if necessary, because you can easily have your hearing aid (s), including microphone, on standby fold, and the hearing impaired always has his hands free.
