An ITE hearing aid having a shell worn at least partially in a user's ear canal, a faceplate closing the shell at a side oriented towards the exterior of the user's ear, and at least one microphone housed in the shell and acoustically connected to ambience via a sound port formed in the faceplate. The faceplate has a cover element covering a cavity of the sound port in a direction normal to a main plane of the faceplate and a lateral sound opening in a wall extending normal to the main plane. The cover element is elevated above a surface region surrounding the cover element, with the sound port wall extending between the cover element and this surface region. The shell is designed, with regard to shape and size, in a manner that the hearing aid is manually removable from the ear canal without the need to use a tool.

ITE hearing aid and method of manufacturing the same

A hearing instrument having an audio signal source for providing for audio signals; an audio signal processing unit for processing said audio signals; a unit to be worn at or in a user's ear or to be implanted in the user's head for stimulating the user's hearing according to the processed audio signals, and a rechargeable power source, in which the rechargeable power source is a wound capacitor comprising a capacitor foil arrangement which has at least a first electrically conducting layer, a second electrically conducting layer and a dielectric layer in-between and which is wound in a manner so as to form an induction coil for generating a current for charging of the capacitor when exposed to an external alternating electromagnetic field generated by a charging device.

Hearing instrument comprising a rechargeable power source

The present invention proposes a hearing device with a housing and a receiver module which comprises a shell () with a cavity having an opening (), wherein at least part of the shell () forms part of the housing, and wherein an electro-acoustic transducer, comprising a motor assembly () and an acoustic assembly () including a membrane, is arranged within the cavity, the acoustic assembly () being disposed within the shell () such that the cavity is divided into a front chamber () and a back chamber (), the motor assembly () being disposed within the back chamber () or the front chamber () and being operatively coupled to the membrane, and the front chamber () being in acoustic communication with the exterior of the shell () via the opening (), wherein the shell () has an outer surface individually shaped according to a measured inner shape of a section of an ear canal of a user of the hearing device. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing such a receiver module is presented.

Hearing device with a transducer module and method for manufacturing a transducer module

A hearing device comprising a locking mechanism for connecting an external component to the hearing device, the locking mechanism comprising a part () arranged at or in the housing wall () of the hearing device, moveable from or out of the housing wall such that by moving the part back towards the housing wall a section of the part is fixing a connecting element of the external component to the hearing device or housing of the hearing device respectively.

Hearing device comprising a locking mechanism for an external connector and method thereof

A hearing instrument receiver system for operation in an ear canal of a user for converting audio signals into sound, comprising a lateral receiver, a medial receiver and a flexible joint assembly connecting the medial end of the lateral receiver and the lateral end of the medial receiver in such a manner that the lateral receiver and the medial receiver are pivotable relative to each other in order to follow the shape of the ear canal.

Receiver system for a hearing instrument

In a hearing device with an audio signal processing stage () and an Rf signal processing stage () the Rf signal processing stage is realized in one module (), whereas the audio signal processing stage is realized in a second module (). The two modules are releasably interlinked by means of a releasable positive locking link ().
