Abstract:
A hearing device configured to be worn in an ear canal, wherein the hearing device comprises a housing, a receiver, one or more microphones and a battery. The receiver is arranged in the housing in a manner in which the receiver at least partly extends outside of the housing, and a sealing element is configured to be arranged in the bony region of the ear canal.
Abstract:
A battery assembly for an electronic device such as a hearing aid is disclosed. The battery assembly includes; a compartment having a longitudinal axis and a transversal axis and being configured to receive and contain a battery; at least one electrical connection member for establishing electrical connection to a negative pole of the battery; at least one electrical connection member for establishing electrical connection to a positive pole of the battery; a guide structure configured to guide the battery into a predefined position in the compartment. The guide structure guides the battery into electrical connection with a first electrical connection member. A second electrical connection member when the battery is in a first configuration. The guide structure guides the battery into electrical connection with the first electrical connection member and a third electrical connection member when the battery has a reversed orientation.
Abstract:
The application relates to a hearing device configured to be placed in the ear canal of a user, the hearing device comprising a forward path adapted for processing an input sound and providing an output sound representative of the input sound, the hearing device comprising an assembly comprising first and second modules adapted for being in mechanical contact with each other when the hearing device is operationally assembled to form a functional unit. The object of the present application is to provide a user friendly hearing device adapted for being located in an ear canal of the user. The problem is solved in that the first module comprises a power supply unit, and the second module comprises an input unit, a signal processing unit and an output unit in operational connection, wherein the first and second modules are configured to provide that the first and second modules are reversibly attachable to and detachable from each other; and the first and second modules are electrically connected to provide that units of the second module are energized by the battery of the first module, when the first and second modules are operationally assembled. This has the advantage of providing relatively simple and easy to use hearing device. The invention may e.g. be used for hearing aids, in particular extended wear hearing aids adapted for being located deep in the ear canal of a user.
Abstract:
An in-the-ear hearing aid device is disclosed. The device at least one electro-acoustic transducer, and at least one sensor or at least one active electronic component. The at least one electro-acoustic transducer comprises a capsule enclosing a transducer sound active part and a transducer air volume. The transducer air volume is air volume which is enclosed by said capsule and which is in fluid-connection with said transducer sound active part. At least a portion of said at least one sensor or of said at least one active electronic component is provided within said transducer air volume.

Abstract:
A bearing aid is configured to be located at or in an ear of a user. The hearing aid comprises a heartbeat detector providing a pulse control signal, and a processor. The processor is configured to estimate whether the hearing aid is located at a left or a right ear of the user in dependence of the pulse control signal. A method of operating a bearing aid and a binaural hearing aid system is further disclosed.
Abstract:
A hearing device with an adjustable vent is disclosed. The device includes at least one microphone configured to provide an input signal representing sound, a processor configured to process the input signal and provide a processed signal, at least one loudspeaker configured to receive the processed signal from the processor and to provide an acoustic signal based on the processed signal to the ear of a user, an earpiece comprising a vent, and an electrically controllable valve configured to control the vent, and a valve control unit configured to receive one or more control signals in dependence of a current hearing situation of the hearing device, wherein the valve control unit is configured to adjust the electrically controllable valve in dependence of the one or more control signals to provide the vent to be in a state between an acoustically more open and an acoustically less open state.
Abstract:
An earpiece configured to be worn in an ear canal of a user is disclosed. The earpiece includes an adaptor having an interface configured to receive at least a part of a speaker unit and hereby be attached to the speaker unit. The earpiece includes an adaptable part, preferably a part made of a foam material or a gel material shapeable to fit the ear canal of the user. The adaptable part at least partly surrounds the adaptor. The adaptor has a sound outlet channel and at least one vent.
Abstract:
A hearing aid device comprising a housing having an opening and a battery drawer is disclosed. The hearing aid device comprises a housing having an opening and a battery drawer that constitutes a battery door that is rotably mounted to the housing. The battery drawer comprises a finger engagement portion arranged at the outside surface of the battery drawer. The hearing aid device comprises means for closing the battery door by pushing the finger engagement portion and for maintaining the battery door closed. The hearing aid device comprises means for at least partly opening the battery door by pushing the finger engagement portion and for maintaining the battery door at least partly open. The hearing aid device comprises means for electrically switching the hearing aid device on and off by pushing the finger engagement portion.
Abstract:
A hearing aid with a housing holding a microphone, a battery, a programmable signal processing device capable of delivering an output signal is provided whereby the output signal drives an output transducer of the hearing aid to serve a stimulus on the hearing aid user perceivable as sound. The hearing aid housing further holds a socket adapted for receiving a programming connection in order to connect the programmable signal processing device to an external programming device, and a switch adapted to be operated by the hearing aid user, and a cover arranged above the socket and switch and pivotally linked to the hearing aid. Preferably an intermediate link is provided and adapted to interlink the hearing aid with the cover.
