Patent number: 7254247Abstract: A hearing aid which has a casing accommodating one or more second to electric signal converting transducers (11,12) and a signal path from the transducer (11,12) to a receiver which provides a sound signal at the ear of the user. The signal processing is provided in the signal path to ensure a signal amplification/attenuation according to the needs of the user. A battery (6) is accommodated in the casing and a battery lid is arranged with a first side (1) facing the surrounding and a second side (2) facing the interior of the casing whereby the battery lid is operable for replacement of the battery. The battery lid has a recess (3) for receiving at least one sound to electric signal converting transducer (11,12) and a sound transmission path is provided between the first side (1) of the battery lid and the at least one transducer (11, 12).Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2002Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: Oticon A/SInventors: Lasse Kragelund, Jørgen Skindhøj, Anders Erik Petersen
