Abstract: A battery bay of a hearing device should be better protected against unwanted opening. A housing for a hearing device is therefore provided with: a battery bay that is mounted on the housing and can be moved into an open position as well as a closed position; a projection that is permanently attached to the housing, and a securing element to prevent a movement of the battery bay. The securing element is supported on the battery bay and can be pivoted between a secured position and an unsecured position. The securing element also engages behind the projection in the secured position and the closed position of the battery bay so that the battery bay cannot be moved into the open position. The securing element has a recess in which, in the secured position, a tool can be held to move the securing element into the unsecured position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hearing aid with an audio-shoe interface, an associated audio shoe and a hearing-aid system comprising a hearing aid and an audio shoe. A basic idea of the invention consists of a hearing aid with a housing, in which an undercut and an abutment are provided. The abutment is arranged opposite to the undercut. Undercut and abutment are embodied such that a retaining lug of an audio shoe can be inserted into the undercut by a rotational movement. The abutment is embodied such that a retaining lug inserted into the undercut can only be removed from the undercut again by a rotational movement in the opposite direction. Furthermore, provision is made for a lock that prevents a rotational movement of an inserted audio shoe in the opposite direction. When the electrical contacts between audio shoe and hearing aid are disposed in the undercut, these too are hidden from view and well protected against external influences.

Abstract: A device for inserting a pin into a hearing aid has a gripper embodied in the shape of a cylinder. In an end face the gripper has an aperture by way of which a pin that is to be placed in the hearing aid is picked up. For this purpose the gripper is pressed onto the pin. After the pin has been successfully placed in the hearing aid, pressure is then applied, by squeezing with the hand for example, to the lateral surface of the gripper. This causes a size of the aperture to be changed in the radial direction, as a result of which the pin clasped by the gripper is released. By this means it is advantageously possible to pick up a pin that is to be placed in the hearing aid and install it while making use of only one hand and without recourse to a tool such as a pair of tweezers, for example.

Abstract: A behind-the-ear hearing device has a hearing device housing and a user-operable switch. At least two microphones are disposed below the switch in the hearing device housing, and the housing is formed with first sound openings that are arranged directly below the switch. The switch is preferably a rocker switch. The microphones can be positioned below a switch in a space-saving fashion and the installation space of the hearing device housing can thus be used optimally.

Abstract: A hearing aid includes an identifier for identifying usage of the hearing aid at a correct side on the left ear or the right ear of a wearer. The identifier is constructed as a rotational element having a first feature and a second feature to be respectively set by a rotational movement.

Abstract: A hearing device with a replaceable shell concept is configured such that the visible parts of a housing can be replaced quickly and easily. Therefore, it should be possible to replace a shell using few manual operations. The novel hearing aid has an acoustics unit that can be inserted into a shell part, wherein the acoustics unit has a projection engaging into a correspondingly shaped region of the shell part when the acoustics unit is in the inserted state. As a result of the engagement of the projection into the region, a movement of the acoustics unit in a direction out of the shell part is automatically blocked. Additionally, the acoustics unit can be fixed in the shell part by a pin.
