Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid unit with a hearing aid, which is arranged in an ear jewelery, which serves for holding the hearing aid with recording and playback function and thus the attachment of the hearing aid to the human ear.
  • the hearing aid technology currently has two basic approaches. On the one hand, these are the in-the-ear devices, and also IdO (in the ear) hearing aids that are worn completely in the ear. These are individually adapted as a compact, one-piece device to the anatomy of the ear, so that they can be more or less introduced into the ear canal. This version is cosmetically very demanding because they are barely visible or not at all.
  • the situation in the ear canal proves to be disadvantageous for various reasons.
  • the occlusion effect i. the closure of the ear canal by the hearing aid, and the distorted acoustics for the wearer and the hearing aid problematic.
  • the occlusion of the ear canal allows little or no ventilation, which makes the ear canal and the technique more prone to failure.
  • the wearer takes particular noises such as eating noises or his own voice disturbing and unnatural.
  • IdO devices in combination with jewelry bodies are for example from the FR 2 820 937 A1 and the US 5,828,757 A known.
  • the hearing device is formed in two parts, the actual hearing aid, which in a housing in particular microphone, electronics, Batteries and transducers and is worn behind the ear, and a custom-made earmold, the earmold, which is connected via a signal conductor to the main unit behind the ear.
  • the earmold is placed in the ear canal.
  • the earmold does not completely close the auditory canal or at least offers adequate ventilation.
  • the BTE hearing system allows a sound leakage near the eardrum. The latter is possible, for example, by the design of the signal conductor as a sound tube, specifically when the sound transducer is integrated in the hearing aid and the sound is conducted as an acoustic signal via the hearing tube to the eardrum.
  • the sound transducer may also be designed as an external sound transducer, called a listener.
  • the handset is connected via a signal conductor, here an electrical signal conductor, to the main unit behind the ear.
  • an audio signal is transmitted, i. an electrical signal that passes on acoustic information.
  • Such external listeners allow the generation of sound in the vicinity of the eardrum, resulting in less distortion of the sound, e.g. due to losses, distortions or feedback.
  • the hearing aids of the BTE systems are provided with a prefabricated housing. Only the earmolds are adjusted according to the anatomical conditions and are therefore more flexible in their shape.
  • the IT systems are not yet housed as commercially available components, since they as a whole receive such a housing by encapsulation, which is adapted to the auditory canal of the wearer.
  • the units provided by the manufacturer are significantly smaller in the case of the ITE hearing aids than in the BTE hearing aids and for further processing by the hearing aid technician more flexible, especially in the shape of the housing.
  • hearing aids For conceptual differentiation of the components of the BTE hearing systems, those which are arranged integrally in a housing are referred to below as hearing aids, and the entire arrangement, which optionally comprises external components, in particular external listeners, as the hearing system.
  • the BTE hearing aids avoid the occlusion effect, give the wearer a better hearing and more space for the electronics and thus more diverse technical options, but are cosmetically unacceptable for many hearing impaired, even if the housing are made increasingly smaller.
  • BTE ear systems whose hearing aids are integrated in or on an ear jewelry.
  • the jewelry body is hollow and thus receives at least some components of the hearing aid.
  • the hearing device is arranged in an ear clip and has a sound tube which leads from the clip into the auricle.
  • Hearing aids with a directional microphone system to improve speech intelligibility are used in the EP 0 942 627 A2 disclosed.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying options that adapt the variability of jewelry design and jewelry use and their easy and quick replacement for wearing a hearing aid without having to accept losses in hearing aid technology or to be unable to use advancements in technology.
  • the ear jewelry has a jewelry body with a cavity and at least one opening in the cavity Sound opening and the hearing aid to realize the recording and playback function at least one microphone for receiving acoustic signals, a Signal processing unit for processing the recorded acoustic signals, a sound transducer and a signal conductor for the transmission of acoustic or audio signals in the ear canal.
  • At least one sound opening is provided in the ornamental body as a sound inlet opening on the front side, i. the side facing away from the ear, arranged and the cavity is formed in position and shape such that a hearing aid loosely inserted and removed.
  • the removability of the hearing aid is in this case linked to the arrangement of at least one microphone in the hearing aid, that is associated with the loose insertion of the microphone of the sound inlet opening.
  • the sound inlet opening is understood to be any opening which runs through the wall of the cavity and thus acoustically connects the cavity to the external environment.
  • each surface part surface of the jewelry body is calculated, which is not turned directly to the ear and thus the head of the wearer and comes for the reception of acoustic signals from the environment of the ear in question.
  • the inventive design of the cavity in the jewelry body which should allow a loose insertion and removal of a hearing aid allows the quick and arbitrary change of the ear jewelry without changing the custom hearing aid, with the loose insertion It should be understood that no filigree mounting or installation tools are necessary. It is only necessary to let the hearing aid slide into the cavity so that it lies in the appropriate position for use.
  • the position is determined, in particular, by the position of the one or more sound entry openings through which the sound strikes a microphone of the hearing device, and / or by possible connections, for example to a signal conductor of the hearing device, which must be guided through its wall due to the design of the cavity , If, on the other hand, the cavity is designed to be relatively open, the sound entry openings and / or the connections may well be realized by the openings of the cavity which are present anyway.
  • a hearing device which can be used for the hearing aid unit regularly comprises at least one microphone, provided that the directional radio technology for spatially selective hearing is also implemented by a plurality of microphones for recording acoustic signals and a signal processing unit for processing the recorded signals, e.g. for time- and / or frequency- and / or amplitude-dependent evaluation, amplification and control of the generation of the acoustic signal by a sound transducer, which receives the wearer of the hearing aid.
  • the sound transducer can be integrated in the hearing device or designed as a separate, connected to the hearing aid via the signal conductor handset.
  • Such a hearing aid is variable and can be combined with filigree mounting or assembly aids with different earrings, resulting in benefits for the wearer of the hearing aid both in terms of hearing aid technology and the cosmetic claims.
  • a hearing aid unit With a hearing aid unit according to the invention, the wearer of the design and type of ear jewelery is subject to very different and thereby exchangeable variants Available.
  • the latter relates both to the type of jewelry, the corresponding alternative embodiments eg plug-like, that is as a compact plug of a pierced ear or ear clip, or creolen-like, that is as a full circle or circle trained jewelry, which are also attached by means of clip or piercing pin on the ear can.
  • the position of the jewelry on the ear can be made more variable.
  • an inventive ear jewelry for example, be placed in the shape of an earphone, so that the actual function of this ear jewelry is not visible as a carrier of a hearing aid.
  • the body of jewelry itself can largely independent of the requirements of the hearing aid, at least as far as it has such a size that fit the current hearing aids in the cavity, be made more attractive and variable and can simultaneously the current technology of hearing aids, both BTE and of IdO hearing aids, without special adaptation. Even men's jewelry can act in form and function and become more attractive, with the benefit comes and is supported by the ear jewelry that technical refinements particularly appeal to the man.
  • the ear jewelry described can provide an improved and cosmetically sophisticated hearing care and the image of hearing aids can be significantly improved. At the same time the hearing loss can be openly supplied, as it is known from BTE devices and described above.
  • the variability of the ear jewelry is realized in that only one cavity must be provided in the jewelry that receives the hearing aid. According to the above description of the structure and function of BTE hearing aids, this means that the actual main unit is inserted into the cavity of the ear jewelery.
  • the signal conductor and optionally the signal conductor with external receiver protrudes out of the cavity in order to be able to establish the connection to the auditory canal.
  • the position and shape of the cavity can also be designed so that the fixation of the hearing aid is realized solely by fixing the ear jewelery and / or by the accuracy of fit of the cavity and hearing aid.
  • the ear closes the entrance of the cavity, through which the hearing aid is inserted and removed, in the use of the jewelry sufficiently.
  • the attachment of the Ohrschmuck fixed at the same time the jewelry on the ear and the hearing aid in the jewelry body.
  • the hearing aids are becoming ever more filigree and require less space, so that the fixation is simpler and the freedom of design of ear jewelry larger.
  • the often unified, commercially available forms of BTE hearing aids and in particular those with external handset contribute to the more variable, the opportunity adapted and also less expensive interchangeability of the ear jewelry. For such embodiments, e.g. tailor-made cave rooms.
  • the loose connection of earrings and BTE hearing aid also allows the temporary wearing of the hearing aid without earrings.
  • IdO hearing aids are used, their shape can also be adapted to specific cavities and thus to special ear jewelery designs by casting.
  • Such an embodiment uses the advantages of the ITE technology, in particular with regard to a small and adaptable form and a variable but fixable position of one or more microphones together with that of the BTE technique, which allows a spatial separation of the potted components to the listener and beyond the open signal supply due to the external handset.
  • the change of the hearing aid e.g. Adjustment or improvement of the signal processing can be done without having to change the earrings.
  • This is while maintaining the original, commercially available form of the hearing aid or in a sufficiently large cavity or in a reproducible by the hearing aid technician encapsulation, e.g. possible by casting.
  • At least two sound entry openings are arranged on the front side and at a distance from one another.
  • at least two microphones are integrated with different orientation in the hearing aid and the signals from the individual microphones for spatial selection evaluated differently.
  • the two or more sound entry openings are arranged such that they attach the ear jewelry to the ear in the direction of the wearer, ie forward, and the opposite direction, ie to the rear , aligned and the microphones are assigned to the sound inlet openings by inserting the hearing aid in the cavity of the ear jewelery.
  • aligned and the microphones are assigned to the sound inlet openings by inserting the hearing aid in the cavity of the ear jewelery.
  • variable sound inlet openings can be achieved if the wall of the jewelry body surrounding the cavity is at least partially broken. This is also an appealing design means, which can combine design and functionality conveniently.
  • a further opening in the cavity for carrying a signal conductor in the direction of the auricle, so that the signal conductor is positioned on the jewelery and ends correctly with the attachment of the ear jewelery to the ear.
  • the fixation of the hearing aid in the cavity of the jewelry body is carried out as described above, in particular by the Design of the ear jewelery possibly in connection with its attachment to the ear.
  • the hearing aid ear jewelry may be favorable for various designs of Ohrschmucks, although the signal conductor is releasably fixed to the ear jewelry. This is advantageous both for a sound tube and for an electrical conductor as a signal conductor for improving the signal quality.
  • the Creole according to Fig. 1A to Fig. 1E is formed by a hook-shaped, bent-back jewelry body 1, which is formed of two side and a bottom surface and upwards to the ear (not shown) is open.
