Definitions

  • Hearing instruments can be designed as a hearing aid, which is the compensation of a weakened or impaired hearing, commonly referred to as deafness, may also be designed as a so-called tinnitus masker.
  • Tinnitus maskers are used to treat tinnitus patients. They produce from the respective hearing impairment and depending on the principle of action also dependent on ambient noise acoustic Output signals that may contribute to reducing the perception of annoying tinnitus or other ear noises.
  • the term hearing instrument should also be understood tinnitus masker and other such devices.
  • Hearing aids are known in various basic housing configurations.
  • ITE hearing aids in-the-ear, in-ear
  • a housing containing all the functional components, including the microphone and receiver is mostly worn in the ear canal.
  • Completely-in-Canal (CiC) hearing aids are similar to the IdO hearing aids, but are fully worn in the ear canal.
  • BTE hearing aids behind-the-ear, behind-the-ear
  • a housing with components such as battery and signal processing device behind the ear is worn and a flexible sound tube, also referred to as tube, directs the acoustic output signals of a receiver from the housing to the ear canal.
  • FIG. 2 a hearing instrument designed as a deep-ear canal hearing device 11 is shown schematically with a receiver 12 held by a cuff 20.
  • the receiver 12 is only partially within the housing 17 of the hearing device 11 arranged, but sometimes outside. He sticks out of the housing 17.
  • the housing 17 surrounds the receiver 12 only partially, which is why the housing 17 has a correspondingly smaller size.
  • the receiver 12 projects out of the proximal side of the housing 11 to be supported in the auditory canal, so that the diameter of the hearing device 11 in the proximal region is reduced to the diameter of the protruding part of the receiver 12.
  • the receiver 22 is also only partially disposed within the housing 17, and partially outside of the housing 27 in this embodiment. However, it is not through a tongue and groove mechanism as previously explained in the opening 28th fixed. Instead, the receiver 22 is either fixed by a (slight) press fit frictionally in the opening 28, or it is glued.
