  • Publication number: 20230007384
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a hearing device comprising a receiver module for insertion into an ear canal of a user of the hearing device, the receiver module comprising a signal processor, an output transducer, and a vent having a valve device, the valve device comprising at least one stationary valve coil, a movable magnet, and a movable valve element, the valve element being configured to open and close the vent, wherein the signal processor is configured to determine a current position of the valve element in the vent, and wherein the signal processor is configured to apply a drive signal to the valve coil to thereby move the valve element from the current position to a desired position. The disclosure further relates to a method for controlling a valve device of a hearing device and a binaural system.

  • Publication number: 20050152566
    Abstract: The invention comprises an electric to acoustic transducer for hearing aid with a casing containing electric to sound transducing means. The casing has at least one orifice for emitting the sound signal to the ear of a hearing aid user, where the orifice for emitting the sound signal extends along the surface of the casing and where a tubing is provided for canalizing the sound signal towards the ear of the user. The tubing comprises a sound outlet having a wide end and a narrow end and the transition from the wide end to the narrow end is gradual and the wide end embraces the orifice and is tightly joined to the casing of the receiver.
