Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bone conduction hearing aids, in particular to a head-mounted bone conduction hearing aid with a detachable vibrator. Background Art

[0002] A head-mounted bone conduction hearing aid is a hearing aid that senses sound based on skull vibration. It can transmit sound directly to the inner ear through the bones, avoiding the discomfort that may be caused by traditional hearing aids. Bone conduction hearing aids transmit sound by vibrating bones. This method causes less damage to the inner ear and can better protect residual hearing.

[0003] When wearing a head-mounted bone conduction hearing aid, the vibrator cannot be placed anywhere around the ear. The vibrator needs to be placed in a specific position in order to effectively convert sound into mechanical vibrations and transmit them to the skull.

[0004] When users with different head shapes wear the same hearing aid, the position where the hearing aid can be fitted is also different, which depends on the size of the head and the position of the ear protrusion and the tragus. The position of existing bone conduction hearing aids after wearing is relatively fixed, and the position of the hearing aid and the vibrator cannot be adjusted according to users with different head shapes. If the vibrator cannot be fitted in the correct position, the efficiency of bone conduction will be greatly reduced. Utility Model Content
