A tool ( 20 ) and a method for shaping an elongated deformable member for a hearing aid ( 1 ). The tool is manufactured using a rapid prototyping process. The tool comprises a first holding means ( 21 ) for a first end of the elongated member, a second holding means ( 31 ) for holding a second end of the elongated member, and positioning means ( 26,28 ) for positioning and holding intermediate parts of said elongated member between said first end and said second end in a fixed desired shape. The shaping a of the deformable elongated member comprises the steps of placing the first end of the elongated member in a predetermined position, positioning said intermediate parts of said elongated member in a predetermined position, placing the second end of the elongated member in a predetermined position, heating said elongated member, and cooling said elongated member.

This invention describes a practical application of noise reduction in hearing aids. Although listening in noisy conditions is difficult for persons with normal hearing, hearing impaired individuals are at a considerable further disadvantage. Under light noise condition, conventional hearing aids simplify the input signal sufficiently to overcome the hearing loss. For a typical sloping hearing loss where there is a loss in high frequency hearing sensitivity, the amount of boost (or gain) rises with frequency. Most frequently, the loss in sensitivity is only for low-level signals; high level signals are affective minimally or not at all. A compression hearing aid is able to compensate by automatically lowering the gain as the input signal level rises. This compression action is usually compromised under noisy conditions. In general, hearing aids are of lesser benefit under noisy conditions since both noise and speech are boosted together when what is really required is a reduction of the noise relative to the speech. A noise reduction algorithm with the dual purpose of enhancing speech relative to noise and also providing a relatively clean signal for the compression circuitry is described.

A hearing aid having a housing and a light source for emitting light is disclosed. The light source is arranged below a structure that comprises a transparent section and a surrounding opaque section, wherein the light source is arranged in a position that allows for transmission of light through the transparent section of the structure.
摘要:
Bei einem Hörhilfegerät (1) soll der barometrische Druckausgleich in einem Schallkanal (8, 8', 8") zwischen einem Hörer (7, 7', 7") und einer Cerumenschutzeinrichtung (9, 9', 9") mit einer gasdichten Membran (9A', 9A") auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise erreicht werden. Hierzu wird ein Druckausgleichskanal (11, 11', 11") vorgeschlagen, der in den Schallkanal (8, 8', 8") mündet. Der Druckausgleichskanal (11, 11', 11'') verbindet den Schallkanal (8, 8', 8") vorzugsweise mit einem Belüftungskanal (Vent). Er kann in einfacher Weise bei der Herstellung des Gehäuses des Hörhilfegerätes (1) mittels eines computergestützten Herstellungsverfahrens erzeugt werden.
