Abstract: In of for a hearing device (2) acoustical attenuation within an acoustically effective channel (1) is controllably varied due to controlled variation of at least one of oscillating behaviour ( Z), elasticity (?) and shape of a member (9) within the channel (1).

Abstract: An in-the-ear hearing device comprises an outside body, which is at least in part of textile material (3). The textile material allows to optimally adapt shape and shape dynamics as well as biocompatibility to the respective characteristics of an individual ear canal.

Abstract: For the cushioned support of electronic components in a mounting enclosure of a miniaturized electronic device, an elastic and/or flexible retaining element (15) with inward-protruding support sections (17) extends along at least parts of the inner wall of the mounting enclosure (3), serving to position, support and retain the component (1).

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing custom shaped hearing instruments by arranging virtually all components of said hearing instrument within the shape of the shell to define the final locations of said components. Subsequently, support elements as support structure within the shell according the final locations of the components will be generated digitally, for manufacturing said shell using a digital printing technique considering the digitally processed data from said antecedent steps. Then, connecting the components together with any necessary wiring, placing the components into the manufactured shell at its designated locations into the respective support elements, placing and attaching a cover plate onto said opening of said shell, thereby clamping said components between the cover plate and the shell or the support elements respectively.

Abstract: An in-the-ear hearing instrument comprises a deformable holding element (3) outside the ear canal and a sealing element (7) comprising venting elements. The sealing element is an exchangeable resilient eartip, which by means of venting elements, such as holes, channels, openings, etc. defines the amount of acoustic leakage.

Abstract: The inventive microphone cover for hearing devices for at least partially covering openings (6) arranged at the outside of the hearing device comprises a ring (2) with racks (4) overdrawing the opening of the ring (2). The outer diameter of the ring (2) thereby is equivalent with the inner diameter of the corresponding opening (6) of the hearing device such as the ring (2) is at least partly insertable within the opening (6). A stop (11) is provided advantageously within the opening (6) at a desired depth (t) to define the exact insertion position of the microphone cover (1).

Abstract: For the liquid impervious sealing of smallest crevices, chinks, capillaries and/or openings within a housing wall, in particular of electronic or electrical devices, it is proposed to provide the housing wall at least in the area of the crevices, chinks, openings or capillaries with a hydrophobic coating. The advantage of applying a hydrophobic coating is that certain gas permeability can be maintained, so that a gas exchange between the interior of the housing and the environment is possible.

Abstract: A device as hearing aid to be worn in the ear or in or at the auditory canal comprises at least a sound or acoustic exit opening with a protection element (10) to prevent the contamination of the device. The protection element (10) comprises a thin, at least almost flexible or elastic membrane (15) made out of a thermoplastic polymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medicinal product with a textile component such as a wound compress having a surface containing a multiplicity of openings arranged in at least two hole patterns. The diameter of one opening of one hole pattern deviates from the diameter of an opening of another hole pattern by about at least a factor of 5. Better wound healing is achieved by adapting the structural and mechanical characteristics of the medicinal product to the characteristics of the target tissue.
