    摘要: An in-the-ear hearing aid has a number of electrical and electro-mechanical discrete components embedded in a flexible plastic compound. The combination of the components in the plastic compound can be introduced into the user's ear, or into a negative of an ear impression, for pre-fitting. Due to the flexibility of the plastic compound, the combination can be shaped as needed. The shaped combination is then cast in an otoplastic material which conforms precisely to the shape of the user's ear, and hardens to retain that shape. A rigid shell for holding the components is thus not needed, and therefore the hearing aid is far more adaptable to different shapes of auditory canals than conventional hearing aids.

    摘要: A method for forming a part inserted in the auditory canal of a hearing impaired person, said part being either an otoplastic or a carrier part of the hearing aid insertable into the auditory canal or an ear adaptor member for a hearing aid to be worn behind-the-ear, characterized by providing an expandable elastic member, coating said elastic member with a hardenable material, inserting the coated member into an ear of the person who is hearing impaired, allowing the hardenable material to harden to retain the outside contour of the part. The elastic expandable member may be either a porous member which is partially saturated on the outer surfaces or may be a smooth member which is coated with the hardenable material. If desired, a physiologically compatible coating may be applied onto the hardened surface layer subsequent to the hardening process.
