Problems solved by technology

[0005] [0005] However, the solution described above entails a significant waste of material and thus an unnecessary expense compared to replacing a specific failing part of a hearing aid, especially in the case of a failure of a RITE component not caused by the receiver. , since the receiver is relatively expensive compared to the rest of the RITE components

Embodiment Construction

[0036] 【0036】 figure 1 A preferred embodiment of a RITE assembly 1 with an earplug 2 attached according to the invention is shown. The earplug 2 is a separate piece and does not form part of the RITE assembly 1 itself. The RITE assembly 1 includes a receiver housing 3 and a connector 4 that is in figure 1 In the assembled state shown it is locked together with the receiver housing 3 . The connector 4 is used to electrically connect the sound part of the RITE assembly 1 and the BTE shell assembly 37, such as Image 6 shown. For this purpose, the connector 4 comprises a fixing 5 , conducting means 6 and coupling means 7 for coupling the RITE assembly 1 to a BTE housing assembly 37 .

[0037] [0037] If available from figure 2 As seen in FIG. 1 , an exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the RITE assembly 1 is shown, the RITE assembly 1 further comprising a receiver housing 3 and a receiver 9 . The receiver housing 3 is preferably made by injection molding of a rigid po...

Abstract

A receiver in the ear (RITE) component (1) for a hearing aid, said RITE component comprising a receiver (9) and a receiver housing (3), and a connector (4) comprising coupling means (7) for coupling the RITE component to a BTE housing component of said hearing aid, and said connector (4) comprising an electrically conductive means (6). The RITE component (1) further comprises a fixture (5) to connect the receiver (9) in the receiver housing (3) and the connector (4), said fixture (5) comprising a spring element (15) and at least one contact terminal (16) adapted for abutting contact with at least one corresponding contact terminal (17) on said receiver (9).

Description

technical field [0001] [0001] The present invention relates generally to hearing aids, and more particularly to a receiver-in-the-ear (RITE)-type hearing aid system comprising a receiver-in-the-ear (RITE) assembly comprising a receiver and a receiver housing and a connection The connector includes coupling means for coupling a RITE assembly to a behind-the-ear (BTE) housing assembly of the hearing aid, and the connector includes conductive means. Background technique [0002] [0002] In conventional BTE hearing aids, the receiver, ie, the loudspeaker or acoustic output transducer, is located in the BTE housing assembly. Sound is transmitted from a receiver in the BTE housing assembly to the ear canal, for example via a sound tube to an earplug located in the ear canal. As the name suggests, RITE-type hearing aids have a receiver located in the user's ear canal, or at least in the vicinity of the ear canal, thereby avoiding the headset and its influence on the sound emitted b...
