  • Patent number: 10667066
    Abstract: A hearing device contains an electronic frame for holding electronic components. The hearing device has first and second resilient contacts. The resilient contacts are fastened to the electronic frame, and the resilient contacts reversibly electrically contact an electronic component using contact surfaces of a double-pole battery. The hearing device contains a rechargeable battery module that contains a rechargeable battery and an electronic convertor. The rechargeable battery module is connected in an articulated manner to the electronic frame so as to be able to move and contains connecting contacts that correspond to the resilient contacts. A kit is provided for the hearing device and the kit has a battery compartment door for reversibly holding the double-pole battery. The battery compartment door is connected to pivot on the electronic frame such that as the battery compartment door is pivoted into a closed position the contact surfaces of the double-pole battery are contacted.

  • Publication number: 20110268304
    Abstract: Children should be prevented from easily being able to remove the ear hook of a hearing aid. It is for this reason that a hearing aid that is to be worn behind an ear has a housing, which houses signal-processing components, and an ear hook, which is detachably attached to the housing. During the attachment process, the ear hook is moved toward the housing in an axial direction. The ear hook and the housing are embodied such that, in order to attach the ear hook to the housing, there is at least one movement of the ear hook in a second direction and a movement of the ear hook in a third direction, which differs from the second direction. Both the second and the third direction differ from the first direction. It follows that a complicated movement pattern is required when the ear hook is disassembled from the housing.
