Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, many people want very unobtrusive and comfortable hearing equipment, and find existing sound tubes to be noticeable and annoying to wear
Another problem is the fact that each wire needs to be pulled and / or squeezed through the sound tube, which is very difficult and time consuming

Embodiment Construction

[0011] Figures 1a and 1b show hearing devices known in the prior art, where Figure 1a shows how the hearing device (101) is placed on the ear (103), and Figure 1b shows the hearing device without being worn on the ear. equipment. The hearing device comprises an ear side unit (105) placed behind the ear, a receiver (107) placed in the ear canal (109), or in other embodiments the receiver may be placed near the ear canal. The ear side unit includes a microphone array (111), a battery compartment (113) for powering the hearing device, a volume control (115) to enable the user to turn the volume up and down, and a processing and amplification unit (because it is enclosed , so not shown). A microphone records sound and converts the sound signal into an electrical signal, and then typically a processing and amplification unit will filter and amplify the electrical signal, which can be implemented as an analog unit, a digital unit, or a combination of both . The ear side unit is c...

Abstract

This invention relates to a connector to be mounted between the receiver and the ear side unit of a hearing device, wherein said connector is flexible and comprises at least one stiff section shaped for maintaining the positioning of at least a part of said hearing device at or near the user's ear. An isolated wire could be used as the soft and flexible part of the connector. Said isolated wire comprises a number of lacquered conducting wires, a strength fiber and a flexible outer isolating jacket. The lacquered conducting wires and the tensile strength fiber are twisted together such that they form a helix that constitutes the core part of the isolated wire.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a connector for connecting an ear-side unit and a receiver of a hearing device. Background technique [0002] Headphones and hearing devices typically comprise an ear-side unit placed behind the ear and a receiver (speaker) placed in or near the ear canal. The ear side unit associated with the hearing device includes a plurality of microphones for sound detection, and a data processing and amplifier unit for data processing and amplification of the sound signals recorded by the microphones. The data-processed and amplified sound signal is then transmitted to the receiver through a wire extending from the ear side unit to the receiver where it is converted into sound waves in the ear canal, thereby improving the user's hearing listening ability. Related to headphones rather than microphones, for example, the ear-side unit may include a radio receiver for receiving sound signals traveling in the form of radio waves (FM, AM, Blu...
