  • Battery door and faceplate arrangement for a completely in the canal hearing aid device
    Patent number: 5784470
    Abstract: A hearing aid device is formed of a shell, face and battery door. The face is cut from a faceplate assembly which includes a battery opening and a hinge pin. Opposed ends of the hinge pin are formed integrally with opposed side walls of the battery opening for reduced width. The battery door includes a battery compartment for housing a round battery. An opened end and a closed end of the battery compartment is formed between opposed sides of the battery door and the extent of the battery door is less than 0.130 inches to allow deeper insertion of the hearing aid into an ear canal. Components of the face corresponding to operational components of the hearing aid are arranged to reduce the required face dimension for deeper insertion of the hearing aid.
