  • Patent number: 7653207
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a spreading head harness for headphones or headsets and to headphones or headsets having a spreading head harness of this kind. In order to provide a spreading head harness for headphones or headsets which automatically spreads when opening or widening and remains spread during use and in which the partial harnesses are automatically brought together again after use, it is suggested to use partial harnesses and/or connection members of which the end areas twist around the longitudinal axis relative to the spring regions, the end areas are bent relative to the curvature, and a mechanical tension is generated in the partial harness when mounted.

  • Patent number: 5784471
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a hearing aid with an electrodynamic acoustic transducer. Such hearing aids were previously produced by otoplastic techniques. A novel acoustic transducer which departs from the construction principle previously employed for construction of the acoustic transducer is known from the German Application P 43 29 892.2. The object of the present invention is to provide a solution for the practical use of the edged acoustic transducer in a hearing aid and to simplify the production of a hearing aid. This object is met according to the invention by a hearing aid in which the housing of the hearing aid has a movably supported ear tube in which sound waves generated by the electrodynamic acoustic transducer can be transmitted through the interior of the ear tube. As a result of the invention, the manufacture of a hearing aid is substantially simplified and manufacturing costs are dramatically reduced.
