  • Patent number: 9025807
    Abstract: A hearing apparatus includes a sound tube with a tube-side coupling element and an earpiece with an earpiece-side coupling element. The tube-side coupling element and the earpiece-side coupling element can be reversibly coupled. The tube-side coupling element has a tube-side pressure canal and the earpiece-side coupling element has an earpiece-side pressure canal, which form a coupled pressure canal in a coupled state of the coupling elements. The tube-side coupling element or the earpiece-side coupling element is supported by at least one pressure element which improves air-tightness of the coupled pressure canal. A coupling element and a hearing device are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8644541
    Abstract: A hearing apparatus and in particular a hearing aid are to be optimized as regards the risk of feedback. The hearing apparatus contains a housing, having a first opening and a second opening, and with a frame, in or on which a signal processing component is attached, and which can be inserted into the first opening of the housing as far as an end position. A ramp is disposed in the housing which interacts with the frame such that the frame is also moved perpendicular to the direction of insertion toward the second opening during insertion into the housing along a direction of insertion only in one section as far as the end position, which is less than 30% of the insertion path from the first opening to the end position.

  • Patent number: 8338942
    Abstract: A power semiconductor module, for placement on a cooling component. The module includes a substrate, at least two power semiconductor components arranged on the substrate, a housing and outwardly routed load and control connections. The substrate has an insulator body with a first main area that faces the interior of the power semiconductor module, and has interconnects at load potential arranged thereon. Each load connection is formed as a shaped metal body with outer contacts, a strip-like section and with inner contacts extending from the strip-like section to the substrate and making circuit-compliant contact therewith. In addition, the load connections are substantially completely encased by insulation except in the vicinity of the outer and inner contacts and accordingly are electrically insulated from one another.
