Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Knochenleitungshörgerät, das mindestens aufweist; eine Befestigungseinrichtung (3) zur Befestigung am Kopf des Benutzers, und einen Vibrationskonduktor (12) zur Anlage an einem Knochen (13a) des Kopfes eines Benutzers mit einer Anpresskraft.The invention relates to a bone conduction hearing aid having at least; a fastening device (3) for attachment to the head of the user, and a vibration conductor (12) for engaging a bone (13a) of the head of a user with a contact pressure.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass
die Befestigungseinrichtung als Formpassstück (3) zum Einsatz in den Gehörgang (4) und/oder die Concha des Benutzers ausgebildet ist,
das Formpassstück (3) eine durchgängige Öffnung (6) aufweist zur Ausbildung eines freien Durchgangs in dem Gehörgang (4),
der Vibrationskonduktor (12) mit dem Formpassstück (3) über einen Haltearm (10) verbunden ist, der in verschiedene Biegepositionen einstellbar und in den eingestellten Biegepositionen unter Ausbildung einer Rückstellkraft elastisch verformbar ist, und
das Formpassstück (3) zur Abstützung der Anpresskraft des Vibrationskonduktors (12) vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, it is provided that
the fastening device is designed as a shaping adapter (3) for use in the auditory canal (4) and / or the concha of the user,
the mold fitting (3) has a continuous opening (6) for forming a free passage in the ear canal (4),
the vibration transducer (12) is connected to the mold fitting (3) via a holding arm (10) which is adjustable in various bending positions and elastically deformable in the set bending positions to form a restoring force, and
the mold fitting (3) is provided for supporting the contact force of the vibration conductor (12).

Ergänzend kann ein weiteres schalleinleitendes System z. B. Schallschlauchsystem, vorgesehen sein.

Figure imgaf001
In addition, another sound-initiating system z. B. sound tube system may be provided.
