  • Magnetic battery cover for a hearing device
    Patent number: 11190886
    Abstract: A hearing device comprises a device body carrying a hearing device processor for processing microphone signals to produce an output acoustic signal for delivery to a respective ear of a user. A battery compartment is provided for containing a battery to power the processor, the battery compartment bearing at least two magnets, or magnetic restraint elements. A battery cover bearing at least two magnets respectively configured to magnetically cooperate with the at least two battery compartment magnets in order to magnetically hold the battery cover against the battery compartment so as to define a battery cavity between the battery cover and the battery compartment. The magnets are positioned about the battery cavity so as to magnetically urge the battery cover to a preferred position relative to the battery compartment.
