Abstract

Es ist bekannt, bei Hörgeräten das Gehäuse im Wesentlichen aus zwei hälftigen Gehäuseschalen zu bilden, die an einem Rahmen zusammengefügt, die etwa sichelförmige oder bananenförmige Form des Gehäuses ergeben.It is known in hearing aids to form the housing essentially from two half-shell shells, which are joined together on a frame, resulting in about crescent-shaped or banana-shaped form of the housing.

Zur individuellen Farbgestaltung des Gehäuses (1) des Hörgeräts wird ein Hörgerät vorgeschlagen, insbesondere zum Tragen hinter dem Ohr, enthaltend elektromechanische und/oder elektronische Komponenten (10), die in einem geteilten Gehäuse (1) untergebracht sind, wobei das Gehäuse (1) aus einer Oberschale (5), einer ersten Unterschale (3) und einer an der ersten Unterschale (3) lösbar befestigbaren, zweiten Unterschale (4) aufgebaut ist.For individual color design of the housing (1) of the hearing aid, a hearing aid is proposed, in particular for carrying behind the ear, comprising electromechanical and / or electronic components (10) which are accommodated in a divided housing (1), wherein the housing (1) is constructed from an upper shell (5), a first lower shell (3) and a second lower shell (4) detachably securable to the first lower shell (3).

Die Erfindung ist für Hörgeräte, insbesondere zum Tragen hinter dem Ohr, vorgesehen.
