  • Publication number: 20190045310
    Abstract: An ITE hearing device or insertion into an auditory canal of a user has a housing formed with an end wall and a side wall which, in the inserted state, is oriented toward an inner wall of the auditory canal. The ITE hearing device further includes at least one microphone arranged in the housing as well as a sound opening arranged at the end wall of the housing for the transmission of sound to the at least one microphone. The sound opening is connected via a sound channel to the at least one microphone. The sound channel is at least partially formed by a lateral recess formed in the side wall of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8213651
    Abstract: The invention specifies a hearing device, which has at least one contact means which can be flush with the hearing device housing. The contact means contacts an external unit, for instance a battery charging unit, when in an extended or folded-out position. The unit has a corresponding opening for receiving the contact means. As a result, a reliable connection can be established between the hearing device and the charging device when charging a rechargeable battery of the hearing device for instance. The contact means can comprise first and second contact elements, and third contact elements which correspond to the external unit.

  • Patent number: 8175309
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hearing aid device, in particular a hearing aid, preferably an in-the-ear hearing aid, with a long-stretched out removal device and a guide for the removal device, wherein the guide is embodied on or within the hearing aid device and the removal device is accommodated displaceably in the guide. The invention further relates to a hearing aid device set, in particular an in-the-ear hearing aid set, with a hearing aid device according to the invention and an electrical recharging device.

  • Patent number: 8126178
    Abstract: A smaller and more reliable rechargeable in-the-ear (ITE) hearing device is provided. The ITE hearing device includes a housing, which has a housing surface which points outwards in the worn state, an accumulator in the housing, at least one charging contact for charging the accumulator and a gripping element, which is arranged on the housing surface. The gripping element can be moved from a non-operational position into an operational position. The charging contact is concealed by the gripping element or the housing when the gripping element is in the non-operational position and is not concealed when the gripping element is in the operational position. As a result of the charging contact being concealable, the hearing device's reliability is improved. If the charging contact is fastened to the gripping element, the gripping element achieves an additional functionality resulting in a smaller design overall.

  • Patent number: 8027497
    Abstract: A hearing device that is operated with a rechargeable battery pack has at least one contact element that is fashioned to accept a charging current in electrical connection with an external charging device. The contact element is resiliently mounted at the hearing device and can be pressed onto a charging contact of the external charging device during a charging state under the application of a positive force. The contact element is located in a first position in an operating state or rest state of the hearing device, and is moved into a second position in the charging state.
