A hearing device containing a housing enclosing a housing interior, and a loudspeaker for generating acoustic signals. In addition, the hearing device contains a damping element formed by a damping mat, which is interposed between the loudspeaker and a wall of the housing or a loudspeaker box. The damping mat contains at least one damping chamber filled with fluid.

Hearing device

A hearing device includes a loudspeaker having a loudspeaker diaphragm for generating acoustic signals, a drive or actuator acting on the loudspeaker diaphragm, and a loudspeaker housing in which the drive or actuator and the loudspeaker diaphragm are accommodated. A housing encloses a housing interior. A loudspeaker box is disposed in the housing interior and has a sound outlet opening coupled with a sound conductor leading out of the housing. The loudspeaker is sealed in the loudspeaker box against the housing interior in a fluid-tight manner. The loudspeaker is disposed in the loudspeaker box clear or free of a sound channel element, disposed within the loudspeaker box and coupling the loudspeaker with the sound outlet opening.

A hearing device, particularly a hearing aid, has a housing, a signal processing unit arranged in the housing, a first sound generator disposed in the housing, and a second sound generator. The first sound generator and the second sound generator are configured to convert an output signal from the signal processing unit into sound. The second sound generator is a thermo-acoustic transducer.

Hearing device, particularly hearing aid

The fitting of hearing aids and other hearing devices is intended to be made more comfortable. For this, provision is made for a hearing device with a housing which contains a signal processing unit and has a sound outlet. A supporting hook for attaching the hearing device to an ear or a head can be fixed on the sound outlet of the housing such that sound emanating from the sound outlet is guided through the supporting hook. A sensor for detecting the type of supporting hook is arranged in or on the housing. The sensor controls the signal processing unit as a function of the detected type of supporting hook. Thus, the user can for example use different types of supporting hooks without having to decide on a type of supporting hook during the first fitting. Moreover, the degree of mass production of the hearing aid can be further increased by the automatic recognition of the type of supporting hook.

Hearing device with supporting hook recognition

A hearing apparatus with a housing including a housing interior is provided. Signal processing components are accommodated in the housing interior. The hearing apparatus includes a battery compartment fastened in or on the housing, which has a battery compartment interior into which a battery is inserted for supplying power to the hearing apparatus. Further, a membrane is provided, which separates the housing interior from the battery compartment interior. The membrane is fastened to the housing or to the battery compartment.
