Abstract: Described is a hearing device configured to be worn by a user, the hearing device having a battery compartment configured to house a battery and a microphone, wherein the battery compartment is located in a housing. The housing includes: a casing configured to form the battery compartment; and a lid member having a hinged end pivotally connected to the casing such that the lid member is configured to pivot between an open position and a closed position relative to the casing; wherein the lid member is formed to define an opening through the lid member; wherein, when the lid member is in the closed position, the opening is configured to allow the microphone to be in air communication with ambient air.

Abstract: An illustrative hearing device may include a battery compartment located in a housing and including a microphone and a battery. The housing may include a casing forming the battery compartment and a lid member having a hinged end pivotally connected to the casing such that the lid member is configured to pivot between an open position and a closed position relative to the casing. The lid member may be formed to define an opening through the lid member that is configured to allow the microphone and the battery to be in air communication with ambient air when the lid member is in the closed position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cover plate for covering a lateral opening of a shell of an earpiece configured to be worn at least partially within an ear canal, wherein the cover plate comprises a circumferential trench for receiving an antenna on a medial side of the cover plate, wherein the cover plate comprises a circumferential wall radially outward from the trench and adjacent the wall a surface for gluing the shell on.

Abstract: A cerumen protection plug for a hearing device. The cerumen protection plug prevents cerumen from passing along a sound conduit in the hearing device and blocking sound output from a receiver in the hearing device. The cerumen protection plug includes a circular plug containing a cerumen barrier. A positioning handle allows the cerumen barrier to be positioned along the sound conduit, where it prevents cerumen that has entered the sound conduit from traveling along the sound conduit to the receiver or an output port of the receiver.

Abstract: A tool for replacing a cerumen filter in a sound conduit of a hearing aid. The tool is designed to position a cerumen filter along the sound conduit and to couple with and remove a cerumen filter that has been positioned along the sound conduit. The tool comprises an insertion tip and an removal tip, both configured to fit inside the sound conduit and to couple or engage with an engagement body extending centrally from the cerumen filter. The tool may be in the form of a stylus with the insertion tip on one and the removing tip on the other end. The tool may also be in the form of a disc dispenser with a plurality of insertion and removal tips attached to the dispenser and accessible for use by rotating plates making up the disc dispenser.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hearing device comprising a first component (10) with a housing (11) comprising at least one electronic module, said housing (11) being adapted to be carried outside of or at the human body and a second component (20) to be inserted either partially or fully into an ear canal of a human body, said second component (20) comprising a shell (21). The hearing device further comprises connecting means connecting both mechanically and electrically said first and said second component (10;20), comprising a tube (30) with electric wire arranged within the tube (30) and two fasteners (31;32) being arranged at each end of said tube (30). Said first fastener (31), being adapted to detachably connect said second component (20) with said connecting means, comprises a receiving housing or compartment, adapted to contain at least a part of a receiver (23) to be placed within said second component (20).

Abstract: The present invention provides a hearing device with locking apparatus comprising a first component (10) with a housing (11) being adapted to be carried outside of or at the human body, a second component (20) to be inserted either partially or fully into an ear canal of a human body and connecting means connecting mechanically said first and said second component (10;20). The connecting means comprise a tube (30) and a first fastener (31) being arranged at one end of said tube (30) and being adapted to detachably connect said second component (20) with said connecting means. The first fastener (31) further comprises an individual locking element (5;9) to be swiveled into retaining or locking surfaces (24?) arranged within said second component (20), thereby contacting outer surfaces of said first fastener (31) in its connected state with said second component (20). The first fastener (31) thus will be detachably secured to the second component (20) of the hearing device.

Abstract: The grinding unit comprises a grinding rotor unit, incorporating a inlet screw member, a conical grinding tool member, a delivery dish member and a gear unit. A dog clutch is operationally inserted between the delivery dish member and the gear unit. A safety clutch is operationally inserted between delivery dish member and grinding tool which limits the torque to be transmitted. The safety clutch is provided with ball members located in axially running bores of the delivery dish member and being axially displaceable in these bores. The ball members are forced against the front face of the grinding tool and partially engage apertures provided therein under the influence of spring members assigned to each ball member. The delivery dish member is provided at its surface which faces the grinding tool member with a metallic disc member in which are located the mouths of axial bores containing the spring pressure loaded ball members.
