A hearing aid for placement on the head. The hearing aid includes a first part comprising an acoustic input transducer adapted to convert an ambient sound picked up at an ear of the user to an electric signal, a signal processor adapted to process the electric signal according to specifications of the user into a processed electric signal, and an output transducer adapted to convert the processed electric signal into a transmission signal, and a second part linkable to said first part by magnetic forces and comprising a receiver adapted to receive the transmission signal and convert the transmission signal to an output signal perceivable as sound by the user. Said first part comprises a receptacle adapted to receive an insert element, said insert element comprising protrusions configured for engaging with a recess of said first part by rotating the insert element relative to said first part.

Concept for attaching a sound processor to the head via an interchangeable magnet

According to an embodiment, a behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid unit is disclosed. The unit includes a housing comprising a hollow inner section defined by an enclosed wall surface made of a single inseparable unit, an electronic module, and an ear hook that is permanently or detachably attached to the housing. The housing extends completely along a single curved axis running along the enclosed wall surface from a first end of the housing comprising the ear hook and a second end of the housing opposite to the ear hook. The housing comprises an inlet opening at the second end, wherein the inlet opening is adapted to receive the electronic module in the hollow inner section and the electronic module is adapted to move from the inlet opening along the single curved axis.

A hearing aid comprising a receiver assembly is disclosed. The receiver assembly includes a housing adapted to accommodate receivers of different geometry and/or size and/or mechanical dimensions and suspension member arranged in the housing. The suspension member comprises vibration dampers protruding from an outer periphery of the suspension member and a plurality of spacers provided at an inner periphery of the suspension member. The plurality of spacers is positioned to arrange and fix one or more cushions or enclosed structures in predefined grooves formed by adjacent spacers in the space between the receiver and the suspension member.

Hearing aid comprising a receiver assembly

According to an embodiment, a hearing aid is disclosed. The hearing aid includes a housing, a light guide member, a first light source, and a second light source. The housing includes electronic components configured to generate a perceivable modulated signal in response to a received sound. The perceivable modulated signal is configured to produce a hearing sensation to a user of the hearing aid. The light guide member is arranged proximal to and/or within the housing. The first light source configured to emit a first colored light and a second light source configured to emit a second colored light. The first light source and the second light source are positioned within the housing and arranged in relation to the light guide member such that a substantial amount of the first colored light and a substantial amount of the second colored light are adapted to travel through the light guide member. The light guide member includes dimensions such that the substantial amount of the first colored light and the substantial amount of second colored light are mixed within the light guide member to generate a light of a third color.

Hearing aid comprising an indicator unit

According to an embodiment, a hearing aid is disclosed. The hearing aid includes a first functional unit and a second functional unit. The second functional unit is configured to removably couple with the first functional unit. The coupling provides at least a mechanical connection between the first functional unit and the second functional unit. The first functional unit includes a moveable element that is configured to move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the moveable element is contained entirely within the first functional unit. In the second position, a part of the moveable element is configured to protrude out of the first functional unit. The second functional unit includes a recess configured to receive the part of the moveable element that protrudes out of the first functional unit such that the first functional unit and the second functional unit are immovably locked with respect to each other in response to the moveable element is received in the recess.

Hearing aid comprising a locking mechanism

The disclosure relates to an inlet member for a microphone system in a hearing instrument, such as a hearing aid, wherein the inlet member has a main body portion having a first portion and a second portion, the second portion being provided with a first recess for accommodating a microphone comprising a snout for conducting sound energy into the interior of the microphone, wherein the first recess is provided with a sound channel formed for engagement with the snout of the microphone, where the sound channel at the end hereof facing away from the microphone is acoustically coupled to a third recess in the first portion, the third recess being defined by wall portions that provide a seal to corresponding inner surface portions of a hearing instrument, in which the inlet member is mounted.

Microphone inlet for hearing aid

A hearing device is disclosed. The hearing device comprises a chassis and a printed circuit board attached to the chassis. The chassis comprises a number of attachment members configured to restrict the motion of the printed circuit board in one or more directions. The attachment members are integrated parts of the chassis.

Hearing device

A hearing aid comprising a receiver assembly is disclosed. The receiver assembly includes a receiver and suspension member arranged in a housing. The suspension member comprises vibration dampers protruding from an outer periphery of the suspension member, and one or more cushions or one or more enclosed structures containing a material are provided between the receiver and the suspension member.

Hearing aid BTE

A hearing aid with a housing holding a microphone, a battery, a programmable signal processing device capable of delivering an output signal is provided whereby the output signal drives an output transducer of the hearing aid to serve a stimulus on the hearing aid user perceivable as sound. The hearing aid housing further holds a socket adapted for receiving a programming connection in order to connect the programmable signal processing device to an external programming device, and a switch adapted to be operated by the hearing aid user, and a cover arranged above the socket and switch and pivotally linked to the hearing aid. Preferably an intermediate link is provided and adapted to interlink the hearing aid with the cover.

Hearing aid with cover and programming socket

A communication device including a casing to be worn at the ear of a user, the casing including a microphone, a signal processing device, a receiver for delivering an audio signal to the user's ear canal, and a receiver enclosure, the receiver enclosure including wall parts forming part of the casing which in cooperation with detachable wall parts form the enclosure in an air tight manner for sound isolation of the receiver.
