Hearing aid with an antenna

Hearing aid

It is intended with a hearing aid that an electromagnetic interference field generated in the hearing aid device itself and acting on a transmit and/or receive antenna ( 7 ) should be attenuated or compensated for in a simple fashion. It is proposed to this end that the supply lines ( 6 C, 6 D) of the hearing aid device ( 1 ) should be used to position loops ( 8, 9 ) specifically, so that an opposing field is generated to attenuate or compensate for the interference fields present at the site of the transmit and/or receive antenna ( 7 ).

Hearing aid

The manner of informing a user about the current setting of manually adjustable parameters in a hearing aid is to be improved. In addition it is proposed that an information signal be transmitted to the user, on the basis of which said user is informed that an upper or lower end of the value range for a parameter to be set has been reached, so that further activation of the relevant actuator remains ineffective in respect of parameter setting. The invention is used in particular in conjunction with actuators which do not have a mechanical end stop, whereby the user could identify that the upper or lower end of the value range of the parameter to be set has been reached.

Method for designing and manufacturing a hearing aid device with an antenna

The production of a hearing aid device suitable for wireless signal transmission is simplified by providing fastening elements connected as one piece with the housing shell. The fastening elements serve for placement and fastening of an antenna or coil in the housing shell of the appertaining hearing aid device. The production of a hearing aid device with a corresponding antenna or coil is thereby simplified. The alignment of the antenna or coil in the housing shell can also already be optimized using a computer model of the housing shell.

Microphone arrangement in a hearing aid to be worn behind the ear

In a microphone with a microphone housing for arrangement in a hearing aid to be worn behind the ear having a hearing aid housing, respective sound entry nozzles with respective sound entry apertures are arranged at two opposite sides of the microphone housing. The sound entry nozzles discharge into a chamber at a side of the microphone membrane. The sound entry nozzles are introduced into the respective sound entry apertures in opposite sides of the hearing aid housing, and when the hearing aid is worn, the sound entry aperture of one sound entry nozzle is disposed approximately distally from the head and the sound entry aperture of the other sound entry nozzle is disposed approximately proximally relative to the head. The microphone is space-saving and is simple to arrange in the hearing aid.

Wirelessly programmable hearing aid device

A hearing aid device that, for example, can be wirelessly programmed by an external transmission and/or receiving unit, includes a circuit chip in which is integrated with a coil in the form of a coil structure for the exchange of electromagnetic signals. The integration of the coil structure permits a greatly reduced space requirement for the coil structure which can be used as an antenna.

Hearing aid system and operating method therefor in the audio reception mode

In a hearing aid device system with two hearing aids for binaural supply to a hearing aid user, a coupling of the settings of both hearing aids is not always reasonable in the "audio reception" mode and therefore the hearing aid that is in the "audio reception" operating mode is not adapted to changed settings when parameters in the other hearing aid of the hearing aid system have been readjusted. The use of a remote control also has different effects on a hearing aid in the active "audio reception" mode than on the hearing aid device that is in a passive "audio reception" mode.

Ear insert for hearing aids

Active otoplastics ( 3 ) with integrated earpieces ( 4 ) are to be acoustically optimized. There is provision here for forming a sound outlet ( 8 ) into the otoplastic in accordance with acoustic conditions. If the sound outlet ( 8 ) has the form of an exponential horn, this results in advantages for supply of high tones. The earpiece ( 4 ) can be secured with the aid of an adapter ( 5 ) into the otoplastic ( 3 ) so that it can be exchanged.

Hearing aid with wireless transmission system, and operating method therefor

To allow bidirectional data communication to be realized in hearing aids which have only a restricted installation space, the earphone, i.e. the electroacoustic transducer unit, is used as the transmitter and the telephone coil as the receiver for high-frequency signal components. This makes it possible to dispense with the installation of an additional antenna, generally of a large volume, that is optimized for transmitting and receiving operations. If appropriate, a small additional antenna may also be used purely as a receiving antenna for high-frequency signals.

In-the-ear hearing aid for the binaural aiding of a patient

The present invention provided an in-ear hearing aid capable of communication between the hearing aids in both ears. The in-ear hearing aid has a housing and an antenna device AS having the preferential transmission direction. The antenna device AS is arranged in the housing so that the preferential transmission direction indicates approximately the second ear of a patient under the state in which the hearing air is mounted or inserted into a first ear. Consequently, the transmission directions of both hearing aids are approximately aligned under the state in which the hearing aids are fitted, and an optimum transmission is obtained.

Hearing aid device wearable in the ear or hearing aid device having an otoplastic wearable in the ear

Acoustic feedbacks can be caused by the aeration channel ( 5 ) that is present in hearing aid devices ( 2 ) wearable in the ear or hearing aid devices having an otoplastic wearable in the ear. In order to avoid this, it is provided that the aeration channel be subdivided into at least a first and a second sub-region, whereby the sub-region ( 5 A) that is proximal when the hearing aid device ( 2 ) is worn or when the otoplastic is worn comprises a small cross-sectional area and a great length compared to the distal, second sub-region ( 5 B).

ITE hearing aid for binaural hearing assistance

Between ITE hearing aids for binaural hearing assistance, energy-saving communication is made possible by disposing an antenna device with a preferred direction of transmission in the hearing aid housing such that, in a state in which the hearing aid is attached to or inserted one ear of the patient, the preferred direction of transmission is substantially toward the other ear of the patient. In this way it is ensured that the directions of transmission of the two hearing aids in the fitted state lie substantially on a straight line, so that optimum transmission can be achieved.

Hearing device

The space in hearing device housings ( 1, 2 ) is to be enabled to be used more intensively. To this end, the invention pro-poses dispensing with a separate microphone housing and embodying said housing in one piece with the hearing device housing. To reduce the microphone's sensitivity to body sound the corresponding attenuation can be provided in the hearing device shells or the non body-sound-sensitive Silicon microphones ( 5 ).

Hearing aid with cerumen protection

The cleaning and exchange of components of the hearing aid which is necessary at regular intervals due to the conventional contamination is uncomfortable and expensive. The housing (G) and any protective devices (K) which are to protect from contamination, are provided with a dirt-resistant layer. In this way, the dirt adheres less strongly to the hearing aid, so that if necessary it can be removed by means of tapping.

Hearing aid and method for adjusting a hearing aid

The process of adapting a hearing aid to its wearer is to be simp lified. To this end the acoustic conditions in the auditory canal, especially the acoustic impedance, are estimated by measuring the input impedance of the earpiece on the hearing aid. For adjusting the hearing aid it is worthwhile using the mechanical resonance of the system of hearing aid and auditory canal which can be detected with the aid of the input impedance. This is produced by a simplified equivalent circuit diagram from which the corresponding acoustic variables can be obtained.

Remote control for hearing aid devices

A remote control for a hearing aid device prevents incorrect operation by having operating elements that effect a signal transmission from the remote control to a hearing aid device disposed on a first side of the remote control housing, and operating elements that additionally effect a signal transmission from the hearing aid device back to the remote control disposed on a second housing side of the remote control. The first and second housing sides are disposed in an easily tactilely distinguishable relation to each other, such as by being substantially orthogonal. The different functions of the operating elements and therefore can be differentiated purely by contact with the remote control.

Device and method for communication of hearing aids

An energy-saving communication is made available in a hearing aid system. For this purpose the individual communication participants are given different priorities, by using data packets of variable length in the communication. The longer data packets of higher priority prevail when the transmission requests of lower priority are paused as long as the communication channel is busy. In this manner a suitable communication can be structured in a hearing aid system comprising, for example, of two hearing aids and a remote control.
