[0020] This invention features a detachable connection between the main body component 1, ear hook component 4, connecting component 3, and receiver component 2 of an ear-hook hearing aid. This allows for the removal and replacement of one or more components as needed. For example, the receiver component 2 can be replaced with one of different power levels to suit individuals with varying degrees of hearing impairment; or the ear hook component 4 can be replaced with one of different shapes to fit different ear structures. Furthermore, any of the main body component 1, ear hook component 4, connecting component 3, and receiver component 2 with different shapes and structures can be replaced to achieve personalized customization.

[0021] In this embodiment, the detachable connection is a plug-in type, which is simple in structure, occupies little space, and is beneficial for the structural design of hearing aids, a product with limited size. In other embodiments, the detachable connection can also be a screw connection, which facilitates users to disassemble and replace hearing aid components themselves.

[0022] All components of the hearing aid are electrically connected to each other so that the sound received by the hearing aid microphone 5 is processed by the main unit and transmitted to the two receiver components 2, enabling the user to hear external sounds clearly. To achieve the above-mentioned conductive connection, the detachable connection point is provided with a conductive pin structure 40 to realize the electrical connection between the two components connected at the connection point.

[0023] The ear hook assembly 4 has a first plug-in part 10 at one end, and the main body assembly 1 has a box 11 at the end. The box 11 has an insertion hole 12 and a main control board inside the box 11. The first plug-in part 10 of the ear hook assembly 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 12. The first plug-in part 10 has a conductive pin structure 40 inside, and the conductive pin structure 40 forms a conductive connection with the main control board.

[0024] The connecting assembly 3 includes a first housing 31 and a second housing 32 that are connected by a plug-in connection. The end of the first housing 31 is provided with a plug-in hole 311 and a reinforcing plug-in hole 312 is provided on the side wall of the plug-in hole 311. The second housing 32 is provided with a reinforcing insert 321. The receiver assembly 2 and the ear hook assembly 4 are respectively provided with a second plug-in part 20. The second plug-in part 20 is provided with a reinforcing groove 201. The second plug-in part 20 is correspondingly plugged into a plug-in hole 311 so that the reinforcing groove 201 corresponds to the reinforcing plug-in hole 312. The reinforcing insert 321 is inserted into the reinforcing plug-in hole 312 and the reinforcing groove 201 in sequence to realize the plug-in fixation of the first housing 31, the second plug-in part 20 and the second housing 32, so that the ear hook assembly 4 and the receiver assembly 2 are respectively connected to the connecting assembly 3 in a detachable plug-in manner. Specifically: the first housing 31 and the second housing 32 are connected to form a cylindrical housing 30. The first housing 31 and the second housing 32 are semi-circular structures. The insertion hole 311 is provided at the axial end of the first housing 31. The reinforcing insertion hole 312 is provided on the side wall of the insertion hole 311 and extends toward the direction of the second housing 32. The reinforcing groove 201 is a groove provided on the side wall of the second insertion part 20. The second insertion part 20 is detachably inserted into the reinforcing groove 201 and the reinforcing insertion hole 312 by means of the reinforcing insert 321.

[0025] In this embodiment, a first housing 31 and a second housing 32 with a semi-circular structure are interlocked to form a housing 30. Firstly, the semi-circular opening of the first housing 31 is relatively large, facilitating the installation of the hearing aid microphone 5. Secondly, a connector hole 311 is located at the end of the first housing 31, and a second connector 20 with a conductive pin structure 40 is inserted into the connector hole 311 along the axial direction of the housing 30, forming a conductive connection between the conductive pin structure 40 and the hearing aid microphone 5. Thirdly, a reinforcing insert 321 of the second housing 32 is inserted into the reinforcing groove 201 and the reinforcing connector hole 312 to prevent the second connector 20 from dislodging from the connector hole 311. This embodiment balances the conductive connection and installation fixation between the receiver assembly 2 and the ear hook assembly 4 and the connecting assembly 3, respectively. That is, the above-described interlocking structure achieves both the mechanical connection at the two ends of the connecting assembly 3 and the conductive connection between these two points.

[0026] In other embodiments, the detachable connection can also be achieved through a snap-fit ​​structure provided between the second insertion part 20 and the housing 30.

[0027] In the above embodiments, each connection between the main body component 1, the ear hook component 4, the connecting component 3, and the receiver component 2 is a detachable connection. In other embodiments, only one or more connections may be detachable. For example, the connection between the main body component 1 and an ear hook component 4 may be detachable, while the others may be fixed connections. In this case, the ear hook component 4 and the connecting component 3 and receiver component 2 that are fixedly connected to it can be replaced together. Alternatively, the connection between the connecting component 3 and receiver component 2 may be detachable, in which case the receiver component 2 can be replaced.
