The present disclosure relates to detachable speaker units for hearing aid devices, and the hearing aid devices having detachable speaker units. The detachable speaker unit have at least an output transducer for providing a signal perceivable as sound to a user. The detachable speaker unit includes a memory unit storing information relating to characteristics of the output capabilities of the detachable speaker unit, such as transfer function of output transducer and/or transfer function of the entire, or parts of, assembly.

Hearing device with detachable speaker unit

The application relates to a hearing device configured to be placed in the ear canal of a user, the hearing device comprising a forward path adapted for processing an input sound and providing an output sound representative of the input sound, the hearing device comprising an assembly comprising first and second modules adapted for being in mechanical contact with each other when the hearing device is operationally assembled to form a functional unit. The object of the present application is to provide a user friendly hearing device adapted for being located in an ear canal of the user. The problem is solved in that the first module comprises a power supply unit, and the second module comprises an input unit, a signal processing unit and an output unit in operational connection, wherein the first and second modules are configured to provide that the first and second modules are reversibly attachable to and detachable from each other; and the first and second modules are electrically connected to provide that units of the second module are energized by the battery of the first module, when the first and second modules are operationally assembled. This has the advantage of providing relatively simple and easy to use hearing device. The invention may e.g. be used for hearing aids, in particular extended wear hearing aids adapted for being located deep in the ear canal of a user.

Hearing device configured to be placed in the ear canal of a user

An insert for a hearing device is disclosed. The insert member is a flexible sealing part configured to be inserted into the ear canal of a hearing device user. The insert member comprises at least one through-going hole permeable for sound generated by the hearing device, the sound being transmitted through the insert member to an eardrum of the hearing device user or the at least one through-going hole being configured to allow an acoustically active part of the hearing device to be releasably fastened thereto. The insert member comprises a bag structure containing a non-hardened shapeable material and wherein an opening for receiving a hardening member is provided in the bag structure. The non-hardened shapeable material is configured to be hardened by means of a temperature increment and/or electromagnetic radiation, such as UV radiation or a chemical reaction.

Insert member for a hearing device

A hearing aid device configured to be partly or fully inserted into the ear canal of a user is disclosed. The hearing aid device comprises a receiver (loudspeaker) adapted to generate and send an air-borne acoustic signal towards the eardrum when the hearing aid device is partly or fully inserted into the ear canal. The hearing aid device further comprises a microphone configured to receive acoustic signals. The hearing aid device comprises a processing unit configured to determine if the hearing aid device is positioned in a correct position in the ear canal on the basis of the acoustic signals received by the microphone.

Hearing aid device with positioning guide and hearing aid device system

An ear strap is disclosed. The ear strap comprises attachment means configured to be attached to a tube. The ear strap has a flexible member configured to be placed within the concha of the ear and to be held in place by the concha of the ear. The flexible member is configured to take a form that fits the shape of the concha of the ear. The ear strap comprises means for adjusting the position of the tube relative to the attachment means.

Ear strap for a probe tube

A hearing aid may include a housing shaped to rest behind an ear of a user, electric circuitry, a microphone, an antenna which receives wireless signals, a signal processor, a receiver, and a sound guide configured to sound from the receiver towards the ear. An enclosure may be provided for sound isolation of the receiver and includes a detachable lid providing access to the enclosure. A suspension body may be attached to a first suspension area and a second suspension area of the lid. The suspension body holds the receiver suspended within the enclosure. The suspension body includes suspension members connected to the suspension areas of the lid. The suspension members include protrusions that form a shelf that holds a metal shield plate between the lid and the receiver and spaced away from the receiver.

&#x3bc;-Metal barrier provided in connection with the receiver casing lid assembly

A hearing aid includes a housing and a hook, the housing defining a top area and a bottom area, a front end and a rear end, and contains a microphone, an amplifier, a receiver, and a battery for power supply, and the hook is attached to the housing and transmits acoustic signals from the receiver into the ear of the user. The housing is provided by two connectable and detachable parts having lines of separation extending at least partly between top and bottom at both sides of the housing between the front end and the rear end, and means are provided in the front part for holding an amplifier circuitry board at one edge.
