Abstract: A wearing hook is provided for the behind-the-ear hearing device to improve acoustic stability. The wearing hook being composed of a metal part and a plastic part. The wearing hook is split substantially at a right angle to the sound channel, which runs along the inside of a wearing hook, into a first section and a second section. The first section, via which the wearing hook is mountable on the behind-the-ear hearing device, is substantially composed of a plastic. On the other hand the second section is substantially composed of a metal. The additional mass of the metal reduces the vibrations at the point of the wearing hook so that acoustic stability is improved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a securing system for a receiver tube in a hearing device. The object of the invention is to provide a securing system for the receiver tube in a hearing device, which reliably prevents the occurrence of disruptive acoustic feedback and does not require adhesive to secure the receiver tube. This object of the invention is achieved with a hearing device, in particular a BTE hearing device, in which a receiver facility is disposed, wherein the hearing device has a connector piece, which is connected to the receiver facility by way of a receiver tube, in order to conduct an acoustic signal or acoustic signals generated by the receiver facility to an acoustic output of the hearing device, with the receiver tube being provided with a connecting element, which connects the receiver tube and the connector piece to each other in an essentially acoustically sealed manner.

Abstract: A volume control module of a hearing apparatus and specifically a hearing device is to be easily replaceable. A volume control module including a mounting element, specifically a PCB, and including a volume control mounted on the mounting element, is accordingly provided. The mounting element, e.g. the PCB, features at least one fixing recess. A pin element is inserted in the housing recess and in the fixing recess in a form-fit and removable fashion. Thus the volume control module can be removed from the housing once the pin element has been removed from the fixing recess. Secure mounting of the volume control module in the housing, but also at the same time rapid replacement of the volume control module, is thereby possible.

Abstract: An ear hook is to be able to be tightly attached to a hearing device housing in a simple fashion. To this end, provision is made for it to be possible to clip the ear hook onto the hearing device housing. One of the two parts; hearing device housing and ear hook has a sound outlet tube, which can be inserted into a corresponding opening in the other part. The two parts are detachably fastened to one another in an axial direction in respect of the sound outlet tube by means of a magnetic connection. The magnetic connection ensures that the two components are fitted tightly onto one another, though it enables said two components to rotate in respect of each other.

Abstract: A hearing apparatus is to be provided, with which the battery can be exchanged in an almost wear-free fashion. Provision is thus made to magnetically attach a battery compartment or a battery holding device in the housing of the hearing apparatus or hearing device. The battery holding device is inserted into an opening in the housing. A detachable magnetic connection realized by magnetic elements thus exists between the housing and the battery holding device, the principle force component of which runs in the insertion direction. It is thus possible to dispense with plug or snap connections for instance.

Abstract: The hearing comfort when wearing hearing apparatuses is to be improved. To this end, a hearing apparatus and in particular a hearing device is proposed, which has a directional microphone with a preferred direction of recording sound. Furthermore, the hearing apparatus has an inclination determination facility, for determining an inclination of the preferred direction of recording sound in respect of the absolute horizontal for instance. An alignment unit then provides for the directional microphone to be aligned as a function of the determined inclination. The directional microphone of a hearing device can thus always be aligned horizontally independently of the movement of the head of a hearing device wearer.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical device with a battery compartment that all batteries can be accommodated therein and in the event that the battery dies, battery fluid is prevented from escaping into the interior of the electrical device. The battery compartment comprises a battery compartment casing which can be provided in or on an area of the electrical device, said battery compartment casing comprising a battery recess for accommodating a battery, with the battery being held in a predetermined position in the electrical device by a permanently magnetic area of the electrical device when the battery compartment casing is in a use position in or on the electrical device. The electrical device is in particular a hearing aid.
