Definitions

  • a signal processing unit 3 which is also integrated in the hearing aid housing 1, processes the microphone signals and amplifies them.
  • the output signal of the signal processing unit 3 is transmitted to a loudspeaker or earpiece 4, which outputs an acoustic signal.
  • the sound is optionally transmitted via a sound tube, which is fixed with an earmold in the ear canal, to the eardrum of the device carrier.
  • the power supply of the hearing device and in particular of the signal processing unit 3 is carried out by a likewise integrated into the hearing aid housing 1 battery. 5
  • FIG. 6 is the hearing aid of FIG. 2 represented with the audio shoe 20. He is in the in FIG. 5 reproduced final mounting position on the hearing aid housing 10. Also, the slider 25 is in the second position, ie the securing position. It can be seen that the surface of the audio shoe housing 23 with that of the hearing aid housing 10 substantially at least on three sides is flush, so that creates an aesthetically pleasing overall impression.
  • the two embodiments shown above show two examples in which an audio shoe with a double linear movement can advantageously be mounted on a hearing device housing and electrically contacted.
  • the audio shoe sits stably on the housing and also adapts well to the hearing aid design.

    - un sabot ( 20 ) audio, qui est monté amovible sur un côté ( 12 ) frontal du boîtier ( 10 ),
    caractérisée par
    - un dispositif d'accouplement, par lequel le sabot ( 20 ) audio est accouplé au boîtier par un mouvement de coulissement dans une direction s'étendant parallèlement au côté ( 12 ) frontal du boîtier ( 10 ), et
    - un dispositif de sécurité monté sur le sabot ( 20 ) audio et comprenant un coulisseau ( 25 ) mobile transversalement à la direction (19) de coulissement du sabot ( 20 ) audio, coulisseau qui, dans une première position, autorise le mouvement de coulissement du sabot ( 20 ) audio et, dans une deuxième position, empêche le mouvement de coulissement.
  2. Prothèse auditive à porter derrière l'oreille suivant la revendication 1,
    dans laquelle le dispositif d'accouplement a un guidage à queue d'aronde.
  3. Prothèse auditive à porter derrière l'oreille suivant la revendication 2,
    dans laquelle une rainure ( 16 ) à queue d'aronde du guidage à queue d'aronde est ménagée sur un logement ( 15 ) de batterie de la prothèse auditive à porter derrière l'oreille.
  4. Prothèse auditive à porter derrière l'oreille suivant l'une des revendications précédentes,
    dans laquelle le coulisseau ( 25 ) du dispositif de sécurité est monté coulissant à la surface du sabot ( 20 ) audio.

    dans laquelle sur un côté du coulisseau ( 25 ), qui est tourné vers le sabot ( 20 ) audio, sont fixés des contacts ( 29 ) électriques qui, dans la deuxième position du coulisseau ( 25 ), ménagent des liaisons électriques entre le sabot ( 20 ) audio et le boîtier ( 10 ) de la prothèse auditive.
  6. Prothèse auditive à porter derrière l'oreille suivant l'une des revendications 1 à 4,
    dans laquelle au coulisseau (25) sont fixés des contacts ( 36 ) électriques, qui sont mobiles avec le coulisseau ( 25 ) à l'intérieur du boîtier ( 23 ) du sabot ( 20 ) audio et qui, dans la deuxième position du coulisseau ( 25 ), pénètrent, par le côté ( 12 ) frontal mentionné, dans le boîtier ( 10 ) de la prothèse auditive.
  7. Prothèse auditive à porter derrière l'oreille suivant l'une des revendications précédentes,
    dans laquelle, dans le sabot (20) audio, est monté un élément ( 33 ) de sécurité, qui est tournant autour d'un axe de rotation parallèlement à la direction ( 26 ) de déplacement du coulisseau ( 25 ) pour venir dans une première et dans une deuxième positions, de manière à immobilier le coulisseau ( 25 ) dans sa deuxième position, lorsque l'élément ( 33 ) de sécurité se trouve dans sa deuxième position et le coulisseau ( 25 ) est mobile librement, lorsque l'élément de sécurité de trouve dans sa première position.
  8. Procédé d'accouplement d'un sabot ( 20 ) audio à une prothèse auditive à porte derrière l'oreille
    caractérisé par
    - un premier coulissement linéaire de deux éléments de guidage du sabot ( 20 ) audio et de la prothèse auditive à porter derrière l'oreille l'un dans l'autre et,
    - un deuxième coulissement linéaire d'un coulisseau ( 25 ) perpendiculairement au premier coulissement, de manière à ce que les éléments de guidage soient empêchés de revenir en arrière en ce qui concerne le premier coulissement linéaire.
