  • Patent number: 9445206
    Abstract: A hearing aid device has a housing with a battery drawer constituting a battery door that is movably mounted to the housing. The battery drawer has a finger engagement portion arranged at an outside surface of the battery drawer and a closing mechanism. The mechanism closes the battery door in response to force pushing the finger engagement portion in a first direction and keeps the battery door closed. The mechanism can also include a member that partly opens the battery door in response to force pushing the finger engagement portion in the same first direction. Moreover, a switch can be included that turns the hearing aid device on and off in response to force pushing the finger engagement portion. The closing mechanism can have a rotatably mounted member that is attached to a base extending from the member with a head that protrudes from the base.

  • Publication number: 20150010161
    Abstract: An adapter configured to connect to a probe tube for calibrating a hearing aid device is disclosed. The adapter comprises a tubular pipe member and an opening through which the adapter is adapted to receive the probe tube. The adapter comprises an input member configured to connect to a connection member for providing fluid communication between the probe tube and the connection member through the adapter. An outer diameter of the probe tube is 5-20%, preferably 8-15% smaller than an inner diameter of the cylindrical space of the pipe member and that length of the cylindrical space of the pipe member is at least five times, preferably at least ten times larger than the outer diameter of the probe tube. Hereby it is achieved that a long narrow gab can be provided between probe tube and the pipe member of the adapter so that a sufficient acoustic seal can be accomplished.
