  • Method of manufacturing a component for a hearing aid
    Patent number: 8763238
    Abstract: A hearing aid (8) comprises an inlet port (6), a sound tube (12) for conveying sound to the ear piece (13). The invention further provides a component for a hearing aid comprising a slab (26) having an exterior surface, which is super-hydrophobic. The component may be any one of a housing, a casing, a shell, a faceplate, a grid, a hook, a lid, a battery drawer, a button, or a manipulator. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing a component for a hearing aid.

  • Filter for a hearing aid and a hearing aid
    Patent number: 8295522
    Abstract: A hearing aid (1) comprises a receiver (19), an output port (6), a conduit (13) for conveying sound to the port and a barrier element (39) adapted for baffling entry of ear wax and moisture and for being acoustically transparent. The invention further provides a barrier element (39) for a hearing aid comprising a slab having an exterior surface and through openings for transverse transmission of sound, wherein the exterior surface is super-hydrophobic.

  • METHOD OF COATING A HEARING AID COMPONENT AND A HEARING AID COMPRISING A COATED COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20110110544
    Abstract: A method for coating of a hearing aid said method comprising the deposition of an adhesion layer that does not develop corrosive reaction products. The method comprises applying an organometallic compound to the surface of the hearing aid component using vapour phase deposition, inducing a reaction to convert it to a metal oxide, then applying a silane molecule to the surface, and inducing a reaction between the applied silane molecule and the metal oxide. The invention also relates to a hearing aid comprising a component for a hearing aid provided with a hydrophobic coating comprising a layer of aluminium oxide, and a coating for a hearing aid component. The coating is produced in a system (701) for vapour phase deposition of precursors.
