A hearing aid adapted for being worn by a user comprises a housing configured to enclose components of the hearing aid; a forward audio signal path for receiving an audio signal, processing the audio signal and providing an output signal in dependence of said processed audio signal; a mechanical activation element for controlling functionality of said hearing aid, wherein the mechanical activation element is located on said housing and emits an acoustic signature when activated; and a vibration sensor configured to pick up acoustic vibrations in air or mechanical vibrations of said housing and to provide a sensor signal indicative thereof; and a controller for analyzing said sensor signal for occurrences of said acoustic signature to thereby identify and generate a specific control input for controlling said functionality of the hearing aid. Thereby an improved hearing aid may be provided.

Hearing aid comprising an activation element

An in-the-ear hearing aid device is disclosed. The device at least one electro-acoustic transducer, and at least one sensor or at least one active electronic component. The at least one electro-acoustic transducer comprises a capsule enclosing a transducer sound active part and a transducer air volume. The transducer air volume is air volume which is enclosed by said capsule and which is in fluid-connection with said transducer sound active part. At least a portion of said at least one sensor or of said at least one active electronic component is provided within said transducer air volume.

In-the-ear hearing aid device, a hearing aid, and an electro-acoustic transducer

A rechargeable battery is provided comprising a flexible elongate electron conductive core surrounded by a first electrochemically active layer, and a second electrochemically active layer, separated by a separation layer and where an electron conducting element contacts the outer surface of the second electrochemically active layer, whereby at least one of the two electrochemically active layers and the separation layer are comprised of thin-film layers. Further a hearing aid is provided wherein a battery comprising thin film layers is provided. Such a battery may be curled or wound to accommodate an irregular space inside the hearing aid.

Hearing aid with rechargeable battery and rechargeable battery

A hearing aid which has a casing accommodating one or more second to electric signal converting transducers () and a signal path from the transducer () to a receiver which provides a sound signal at the ear of the user. The signal processing is provided in the signal path to ensure a signal amplification/attenuation according to the needs of the user. A battery () is accommodated in the casing and a battery lid is arranged with a first side () facing the surrounding and a second side () facing the interior of the casing whereby the battery lid is operable for replacement of the battery. The battery lid has a recess () for receiving at least one sound to electric signal converting transducer () and a sound transmission path is provided between the first side () of the battery lid and the at least one transducer ().
