Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hearing aid technology, specifically to an ear-hook hearing aid. Background Technology

[0002] A hearing aid is a small amplifier that amplifies sounds that are otherwise inaudible. Utilizing the residual hearing of the hearing-impaired individual, it allows sound to reach the auditory center of the brain, enabling the person to perceive sound and providing significant convenience. Hearing aids are categorized by wearing method, including behind-the-ear, behind-the-ear, in-the-ear, fully-in-the-canal, and neckband types. Neckband hearing aids, due to their headphone-like shape (some even have headphone functionality) and their ability to be worn around the neck to prevent loss, are favored by people with mild to moderate hearing impairment.

[0003] Utility model patent CN213126420U discloses the structure of a neckband hearing aid, which includes a call microphone and a hearing aid microphone installed in a first / second housing. Because two microphones are installed in the housing, the housing is relatively large, resulting in a heavy neckband and discomfort. Furthermore, some solutions on the market place the hearing aid microphone on the connecting cable between the earpiece and the housing. Due to the long and flexible cable, friction between the cable and the user generates noise during use. Combined with the weight of the hearing aid microphone, it causes the microphone to sway with the cable during use, further aggravating the noise received by the microphone and hindering the user's ability to hear external sounds clearly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ear-hook hearing aid to solve the problem caused by the unreasonable installation position of the hearing aid microphone.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: an ear-hook hearing aid, comprising:

[0006] A main component for wearing on the user's head or neck, with a main unit containing a built-in microphone at its end;

[0007] Two ear loop components are respectively connected to both ends of the main body component. The ear loop components are flexible arc-shaped structures used to wrap around the user's ears.

[0008] Two connecting components are respectively connected to one of the ear-hook components, and at least one of the connecting components is provided with a hearing aid microphone;

[0009] Two receiver assemblies are respectively connected to one of the connection assemblies, and the receiver assemblies are provided with an in-ear portion for insertion into the user's ear canal.

[0010] In one embodiment, the ear loop assembly is provided with shape memory metal and is designed to be worn around the contour of the user's ear.

[0011] In one embodiment, the ear loop assembly includes a soft sleeve made of silicone or rubber, and the shape memory metal is disposed within the soft sleeve.

[0012] In one embodiment, the connection assembly includes a hollow cylindrical housing with the hearing aid microphone disposed therein.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sidewall of the housing has a sound hole, which is located on the side of the housing away from the user's head.

[0014] In one embodiment, the outer casing includes a first casing and a second casing, the first casing and the second casing being semi-frame structures, which together form the hollow cylindrical structure, and the first casing is equipped with the hearing aid microphone.

[0015] In one embodiment, the main body component, the ear hook component, the connecting component, and the receiver component are all detachable, and each connection point is provided with a conductive pin structure to achieve conductive connection between the main body component, the ear hook component, the connecting component, and the receiver component.

[0016] In one embodiment, the main component is an arc-shaped elongated structure with a housing at each end. The housing has a positioning surface for facing the user's head to improve the stability of the ear-hook hearing aid when worn on the user's head.

[0017] In one embodiment, a main control board is provided inside one of the housings so that the housing forms the main unit.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. This utility model uses an ear hook assembly that wraps around the ear and cooperates with the earpiece of the receiver assembly to make the connecting assembly stably worn on the front of the user's ear. On the one hand, the hearing aid microphone can reliably receive sound from the front and sides of the user, and on the other hand, it can avoid noise caused by shaking or friction, which helps the hearing aid to accurately receive external sounds and enable the user to hear clearly, thus improving the hearing aid effect.

[0020] 2. The ear hook assembly is made of memory metal, which helps it to return to its original shape after wearing, preventing the ear hook assembly from deforming and becoming difficult to fix on the ear after repeated bending by the user.

[0021] 3. The housing of the connecting component is formed by splicing together the first outer shell and the second outer shell. Both the first outer shell and the second outer shell are semi-frame structures, which facilitates the installation of the hearing aid microphone inside the cylindrical housing.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses an ear-hook hearing aid, comprising:

[0029] A main component 1 is used to be worn on the user's head or neck, and its end is provided with a main unit 11 with a built-in microphone for communication.

[0030] Two ear hook components 2 are respectively connected to both ends of the main body component 1. The ear hook components 2 are flexible arc-shaped structures used to wrap around the user's ears.

[0031] Two connecting components 3 are respectively connected to an ear hook component 2, and at least one connecting component 3 is provided with a hearing aid microphone 5;

[0032] Two receiver assemblies 4 are respectively connected to a connection assembly 3. Each receiver assembly 4 has an earpiece 41 for insertion into the user's ear canal.

[0033] In this embodiment, the main component 1 is worn behind the user's head, with the main unit 11 at both ends close to the back of the ear. The ear hook component 2 is wrapped around the base of the user's ear from back to front. The ear inlet 41 of the receiver component 4 is inserted into the user's ear canal, and the connecting component 3 is suspended in front of the ear, so that the user can wear the ear hook hearing aid stably.

[0034] This invention uses an ear hook assembly 2 that wraps around the ear and cooperates with the ear inlet 41 of the receiver assembly 4 to make the connecting assembly 3 stably worn in front of the user's ear. On the one hand, the hearing aid microphone 5 can reliably receive sounds from in front of and to the sides of the user. On the other hand, it can avoid noise caused by shaking or friction of the hearing aid microphone 5, which helps the hearing aid to accurately receive external sounds and make the user hear clearly, thus improving the hearing aid effect.

[0035] The ear hook assembly 2 includes a soft sleeve, a memory metal core, and electrical connecting wires housed within the soft sleeve. The ear hook assembly 2 is designed to be worn along the contours of the user's ear. The memory metal core maintains its preset shape after wearing, thus conforming more closely to the contours of the user's ear, making the hearing aid more stable and further preventing noise caused by shaking or friction, thereby improving the hearing aid effect. The electrical connecting wires connect the main body assembly 1, the call microphone, the hearing aid microphone 5, and the receiver assembly 4. The soft sleeve protects the electrical connecting wires and the memory metal core; the soft sleeve is preferably made of silicone or rubber.

[0036] The connecting component 3 includes a hollow cylindrical shell 31, in which a hearing aid microphone 5 is disposed. A sound hole 310 is provided on the side wall of the shell 31. The sound hole 310 is located on the side of the shell 31 away from the user's head. Specifically, the sound hole 310 is a through hole in the shell 31. The sound hole 310 is located on the outside of the shell 31 (i.e., the side away from the other connecting component 3), so that when the user wears the hearing aid, the sound hole 310 is located on the left and right sides, so that the hearing aid microphone 5 can receive external sounds through the sound hole 310.

[0037] The outer shell 31 is designed as a hollow cylindrical structure, which facilitates the installation of the hearing aid microphone 5 and related circuits inside. The hard outer wall of the outer shell 31 can protect the hearing aid microphone 5 and also facilitates the connection with the ear hook assembly 2 and the receiver assembly 4.

[0038] The outer casing 31 includes a first casing 311 and a second casing 312. The first casing 311 and the second casing 312 are both semi-frame structures, which together form a hollow cylindrical structure. The first casing 311 is equipped with a hearing aid microphone 5. Dividing the outer casing 31 into the first casing 311 and the second casing 312 with semi-frame structures facilitates the installation of the hearing aid microphone 5 and related circuits. Specifically, since the first casing 311 is a semi-frame structure, its opening is larger before it is connected to the second casing 312, which reduces the difficulty of installing the hearing aid microphone 5 and related circuits. Furthermore, after the hearing aid microphone 5 is installed in the first casing 311, the second casing 312 is installed and connected to the first casing 311, making the overall assembly operation of the connecting component 3 simpler. In addition, before assembling the first housing 311 and the second housing 312, the ear hook assembly 2 and the receiver assembly 4 can be connected to the first housing 311 first, and then the second housing 312 can be assembled to the first housing 311. The large opening of the semi-frame structure of the first housing 311 can be used to form a visual installation of the ear hook assembly 2 and the receiver assembly 4, further reducing the assembly difficulty of the hearing aid.

[0039] In this embodiment, the connections between the main body component 1, ear hook component 2, connecting component 3, and receiver component 4 are all detachable, and each connection point is equipped with a conductive pin structure to achieve conductive connection between the main body component 1, ear hook component 2, connecting component 3, and receiver component 4. The detachable connections allow for the replacement of each component of the hearing aid. This allows for the replacement of damaged components, as well as the replacement of components with different appearances (e.g., different colors or patterns), facilitating personalized customization of the hearing aid's appearance by the user.

[0040] The main component 1 is an elongated, arc-shaped structure with a housing 12 at each end. Each housing 12 has a positioning surface 120 facing the user's head to improve the stability of the ear-hook hearing aid. In this embodiment, the housing 12 is approximately square, with a relatively large positioning surface 120. This allows it to rest against the sides of the user's head, enhancing the stability of the ear-hook hearing aid and further preventing noise caused by shaking or friction.

[0041] In this embodiment, one of the housings 12 houses a main control board, forming the main unit 11. A microphone for communication is mounted on the main control board. Correspondingly, one of the connecting components 3 houses a hearing aid microphone 5. In other embodiments, two connecting components 3 may each house a hearing aid microphone 5, using the two microphones 5 to receive sound from both sides to improve the hearing aid effect. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also feasible to house two main control boards on each of the two housings 12 to form the main unit 11, with sound processing completed through the cooperation of the two main control boards.

[0042] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the remaining undescribed parts are prior art, and that all changes in form and detail made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
