Abstract: A hearing aid to be placed in the auditory canal. This hearing aid is composed of one side that is fitted near the outside of the ear and another side that has to be fitted facing the eardrum. The two sides are connected to each other by way of a curvature. This curvature is such that the hearing aid can be used either on the left or on the right by further special measures such as central positioning of the microphone input in the head end face of the one side, making use of only two angles of curvature of approximately 15° and approximately 45°, and using switching means. In this way it is possible to provide a hearing aid that can be used either on the left or on the right.

Abstract: Hearing aid comprising two parts that can be joined together/taken apart. One part is provided with the electronics and preferably consists of a universal part. The other part comprises an accommodation for the battery and is matched to the wearer's auditory canal. Both parts are provided with a pull cord for removing from the ear and separating the parts from one another. These pull cords are preferably in contact with one another.

Abstract: System including a CIC hearing aid that is constructed from a first universal part containing microphone, amplifier and loudspeaker and a second part that is adapted to the auditory canal of the patient. The hearing aid is of a digitally programmable design. The programming is carried out by way of a cable. Since a connection to the first part is not easy to make on account of lack of space, it is proposed to use an auxiliary part that replaces the first part and is used for establishing the desired amplifier characteristics. The desired amplifier characteristics obtained in this way are transmitted to the first part to be used by the patient by contacts that are accessible when the aid is removed from the ear.

Abstract: Hearing aid consisting of two parts that can be separated. A chamber for accommodating a battery is delimited between the two parts. The loudspeaker is located some distance away from the sound-emitting opening and the connecting channel between the loudspeaker and the sound-emitting opening comprises the cavity in which the battery is accommodated.

Abstract: Method for the production of a hearing aid support matched to the auditory meatus of a user. With this method a setting material is introduced into the auditory meatus of the user. After said material has set, a negative is made and after machining this negative, if necessary, and placing the hearing aid, or a substitute for the hearing aid, therein, the support is produced. According to the invention an aid that corresponds to the shape of the universal hearing aid is introduced into the auditory meatus before setting material is introduced into the auditory meatus.

Abstract: Hearing aid for placement in an ear includes a carrier, an enclosure, a microphone, a battery and a speaker. The carrier carries the battery and the enclosure has a microphone entrance. The enclosure envelopes the microphone, the battery and the speaker and is connected to the carrier. The enclosure has a first and a second end, the first end being directed to the outside and the second end being directed into the ear when placed in the ear. The carrier is situated between the first and the second end and the enclosure decreases in diameter from the carrier towards the first end.
