Embodiment Construction

[0020] As described above, embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatus for buffering the frequency response within a microphone of a hearing device, such as a hearing aid. The method and apparatus of the present invention can use the hole in the back plate by partially covering the hole in order to control the frequency response. A substantially airtight seal is formed between the rear panel and the frame supporting the rear panel to prevent air from escaping through the seal.

[0021] A prior art microphone 100 for a conventional hearing device is shown in Figures 1A-1B. Referring first to the perspective view of FIG. 1A , microphone 100 includes a housing 102 that houses audio components within microphone 100 . The housing 102 may have a size and shape such that the microphone 100 is used in a miniature hearing device such as a hearing aid. The sound inlet 104 of the housing 102 allows sound waves to enter the microphone 100 .

[0022] FIG. 1B is a ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a microphone with internal damping .Method and apparatus are disclosed for damping the resonance frequency in a microphone. The method and apparatus of the invention involve providing an elastomeric frame to support the backplate. The elastomeric frame forms a substantially air tight seal around the backplate. A hole is formed in the backplate and a cover having an opening therein is placed over the hole in the backplate. The frequency response of the microphone may then be controlled by precisely controlling the size, shape, and / or location of the opening in the cover overlaying the hole. The cover may also serve as an electrical contact to other components in the microphone.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a miniature microphone for use in a hearing device, such as a hearing aid. In particular, the present invention relates to methods and apparatus that have been used to buffer the frequency response in such miniature microphones. Background technique [0002] A conventional hearing device, such as a hearing aid, includes a microphone and a receiver. A microphone receives sound waves and converts the sound waves into audio signals. The audio signal is then processed (eg, amplified) and provided to a receiver. The receiver converts the processed audio signal into a sound signal, and then plays the sound signal to the user. [0003] Microphones typically have a rigid, charged back plate and a movable metal diaphragm. The diaphragm divides the internal volume of the microphone into a front volume and a rear volume. Sound waves enter the microphone via the sound inlet and into the front volume. Air vibrations generated ...
