Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Tinnitus-Masker, bestehend aus einem Hörgerät, das als Hinterohr-Hörgerät oder Im-Ohr-Hörgerät ausge bildet ist und das mit einer sogenannten Telefon induktionsspule ausgerüstet ist.The invention relates to a Tinnitus masker consisting of a hearing aid that as a rear ear hearing aid or in-the-ear hearing aid forms and that with a so-called telephone induction coil is equipped.
"Tinnitus" ist das im Volksmund bekannte "Ohren sausen" und stellt in den meisten Fällen für den Patienten eine sehr schwere Belastung dar. Da das Geräusch von innen kommend im Kopf entsteht, gelingt es dem Patienten nur sehr schwer oder meist gar nicht, sich daran zu gewöhnen und es zu negieren. Einer der berühmtesten Tinnitus-Patienten war Beethoven. Die Folgen dieser Erkrankung sind Reiz barkeit, Verwirrung, Konzentrationsschwierigkeiten, Schlaflosigkeit usw. Es ist bekannt, durch ein von außen angebotenes Geräusch, das Innere zu maskieren. Zur Erzeugung dieses Maskierungsgeräusches werden sogenannte Tinnitus-Masker verwendet. Hierbei wird im Stand der Technik in das Gehäuse eines Hinterohr- Hörgerätes statt des Mikrophons ein Rauschgenerator eingebaut, der mit hinreichender Intensität ein Rauschen erzeugt. Dieses wird durch einen normalen Hörgeräteverstärker verstärkt und dem Hörer zuge führt. Durch die Wiedergabekurve des Hörers und durch zusätzliche Schaltelemente wird das Frequenz spektrum beschnitten."Tinnitus" is the popularly known "ears" whizzing "and in most cases provides for the Patients is a very heavy burden. Because that Noise coming from inside arises in the head, succeeds it is very difficult or mostly impossible for the patient not to get used to it and negate it. One of the most famous tinnitus patients was Beethoven. The consequences of this disease are irritating availability, confusion, difficulty concentrating, Insomnia etc. It is known to be caused by one of outside noise offered to mask the inside. To generate this masking noise so-called tinnitus maskers are used. Here will in the prior art in the housing of a rear ear Hearing aid instead of the microphone a noise generator built in, the one with sufficient intensity Noise is generated. This is done by a normal one Hearing aid amplifier amplified and the listener leads. Through the listening curve of the handset and through additional switching elements the frequency spectrum cropped.
Es hat sich herausgestellt, daß in sehr vielen Fällen mit den bisher bekannten Tinnitus-Maskern dem Patienten nicht geholfen werden kann.It has been found that in many Cases with the previously known tinnitus maskers Patient cannot be helped.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, mit ein fachsten Mitteln ein Tinnitus-Gerät zu schaffen, das individuell das Maskierungsgeräusch erzeugen kann, das in der Lage ist, das von innen kommende Tinnitus-Geräusch des Patienten von außen zu über lagern.The invention has for its object with most specialized means to create a tinnitus device that can individually generate the masking noise, that is capable of coming from within The patient's tinnitus sound from outside too to store.
Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein tragbares Tonwiedergabegerät mit einer induktiven Übertragungsleitung zum Hörgerät und einem mit Naturgeräuschen bespielten Tonträger im Tonwiedergabegerät.This object underlying the invention will solved by using a portable sound player an inductive transmission line to the hearing aid and a sound carrier recorded with natural sounds in the sound player.
Die Erfahrung zeigt, daß bei vielen Patienten be stimmte Naturgeräusche geeignet sind, den Tinnitus zu überdecken. Gemäß der Erfindung wird nunmehr vor geschlagen, dieses Naturgeräusch auf eine Kassette oder eine Platte aufzunehmen und in einem walkman artigen Gerät nunmehr diese Platte abzuspielen und dieses Geräusch dem Patienten in das Hörgerät zu übertragen.Experience shows that in many patients be certain natural sounds are suitable, the tinnitus to cover. According to the invention will now struck this natural sound on a cassette or record a record and put it in a walkman like device now play this disc and this sound to the patient in the hearing aid transfer.
Bei entsprechenden Hörgerätefirmen können Geräusch banken erstellt werden, an denen der Patient auspro bieren kann, welches der zahlreichen Naturgeräusche, angefangen vom Plätschern eines Baches bis zum Donnern beim Gewitter, gerade in der Lage ist, den individuellen Tinnitus des Patienten zu überdecken.With appropriate hearing aid companies, noise can banks are created, at which the patient tries beer, which of the numerous natural sounds, from the rippling of a brook to the Thunder during a thunderstorm, is able to to cover the individual tinnitus of the patient.
