    摘要: This invention relates to an impression-taking pad (10) for taking an impression (20) of an ear canal (30) by an impression-taking material, having a lateral end (el) to be arranged away from a tympanic membrane (35) in said ear canal (30); and a medial end (em) to be arranged proximate to said tympanic membrane (35). The impression-taking pad (10) comprises an outer body (2) tapering from said lateral end (el) to said medial end (em). The impression-taking pad (10) further comprises an inner body (3) for releasable engagement with a tool (11, 12) for visual inspection of the ear canal (30), the inner body (3) being configured to support insertion of the impression-taking pad (10) in the ear canal (30) by the tool (11, 12). The impression-taking pad (10) comprises a duct (5) at least partially defined by the inner body (3), forming at least part of an optical path for visual inspection of the ear canal (30); wherein the optical path further comprises an inspection window (6), closing said duct (5), configured to support inspection of the ear canal (30) during the insertion of the impression-taking pad (10) in the ear canal (30); The impression-taking pad (10) is further configured to form an integral part of said impression (20). The present invention also relates to a method of taking an impression by the above defined impression-taking pad (10); as well as to a correlated impression-taking system comprising an aptly modified tool (11, 12) to cooperate with such an impression-taking pad (10).

    摘要: An antenna module for a hearing device includes a hollow core provided with an axial passageway and a winding around the core which is connectable with a hearing device. The antenna module is arranged to be at least partially contained within the ear canal of a user. This enables the antenna to be separated from sources of interference, since it can be positioned inside the ear canal away from hearing device electronics, thus reducing requirements for shielding and/or compensation. The invention further relates to an ear tip and a hearing device including such an antenna module.
