Definitions
- the invention relates to an earmold or Otoplasty for behind-the-ear (BTE) devices in the field the acoustics. These devices are often also called referred to as BTE Secret Ears (SE). It takes place a relatively short sound tube application, with who manages to reduce the frictional losses in particular noticeably reduce high-frequency sound.
- BTE behind-the-ear
- SE BTE Secret Ears
- the sound tube must be exactly in or on Ear canal positioned, which is why a regular Earmold or an earmold is used, the individually to the human anatomy of the ear of the treating patient is adjusted. It has up different forms of otoplasty are being implemented today, some, namely the so-called "open” BTE earmolds be particularly preferred to the ear canal to be laid as little as possible by a “foreign body” or to close areas. This "open" BTE supply has the advantage that the still existing hearing receptivity in their Naturalness is affected as little as possible.
- SE shell shapes, SE-clasp shape or SE-claw shape known (see Ulrich Voogdt: Otoplastik - The individual Otoplasty for hearing aid supply ..., Volume 2 of the scientific book series “Academy for Hearing Aid Acoustics", Median publishing house of Killisch-Horn GmbH, 1993).
- a modification of these common earmolds represents represents "open” solution.
- all variants are common that the hearing technology often fails To map the correction as naturally as possible.
- the object of the invention is therefore an otoplastic for "open" BTE supplies, for CI components (Cochlear implant microphone systems or CI BTE processors) or creating BTE tinnitus systems that not only through a minimalized Foreign body feeling and good comfort, but primarily characterized by the fact that the natural Sound processing in the human ear so pure can be used as much as possible to achieve the maximum of acoustic correction and naturalness of the To ensure hearing sensation.
- the otoplastic according to the invention is also suitable for the Media use, such as in live TV interviews as one Offers kind of "open in-ear monitoring", whereby in In this case, for example, a simultaneous translation or the speech signal of a prompter under if possible natural conditions fed into the ear canal become.
- a special advantage of otoplastic is also in it to see that regarding the design of the edge of the A large arch overlapping earpiece Freedom exists, which in turn is additional Stabilization of the otoplastic can be used.
- the Further training according to claim 2 goes in this direction.
- the embodiment has the advantage that it is special special applications, e.g. with very tight Ear canal or heavy terminal hair in the ear canal or other anomalies of the ear anatomy without Complications can be used.
- the development according to claim 5 is cosmetic most demanding variant.
- 1 to 6 is a first embodiment shown the otoplastic according to the invention.
- the otoplastic which is hatched, is designated by the reference number 120. It is like that arranged that the cavum conchae is completely free remains. Instead, the otoplastic is in the area of Cymba conchae 50, in the case shown with an extension arranged in the areas of Crus anthelicis 52, 54.
- the earmold is the patient's anatomy individually adapted and it essentially consists of two components, namely a supporting part 156, the form-fitting recessed in the Cymba conchae 50 is recorded, and the edge 58 of the auricle arched overlapping hill 160 that at its end the holder for the flexible sound tube 128 formed.
- the sound tube 128 is - as in FIG. 2 shown - angled into the interior of the auditory canal 26 out there and can, for example, a so-called Wear Cerumdefender 162.
- This embodiment of the otoplastic has a small one Construction volume and it leaves - as can be seen in FIG. 2 is - the auditory canal virtually unaffected.
- 5 and 6 is a further embodiment shown that in a patient with much smaller Cymba conchae was applied.
- the one marked with 220 Otoplastics have a much smaller main body 256, which in turn is spatially curved several times is, so the required undercut with the Surface of the ear.
- Otoplastics all common materials are used such as. hot and cold polymerizing PMMA or Polymerizate. Due to the small volume of the In particular, colored earmolds are also available Designs with jewelry applications. But also metals, such as stainless steel, gold, silver, platinum, titanium (Injection molding or centrifugal casting) be used, it is also possible with the Electroplating to work.
- Fig. 7 illustrates a possibility of Design of the earmold according to FIGS. 1 to 6 in With regard to an anatomically optimized stabilization of the sound tube in the area of entry into the Ear canal.
- Fig. 1 to 6 have a counterpart, same reference numerals used, preceded by a "4".
- edge 458 of the auricle bow-shaped crossbar 460 from the with dash-dotted line indicated position down is pivoted so that it is virtually the upper section of the Bridges Crus Helicis 424.
- Reference number 461 is one Acoustic tube eyelet refers to a sound tube 428 stabilized. The arrangement is made that the sound tube eyelet 461 is immediately above the Incisura Anterior 425, i.e. between tragus 427 and the Crus Helicis 424 is located.
- the embodiment corresponds to that 1 to 6, i.e. the otoplastic body is half housed in the cymba while the other half below the Helix 431 over the Crus Inferior Anthelicis 433 in the direction of the Fossa Triangularis 435. This is shown, for example, in FIG. 10.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 A second variant of the modification of the otoplastic 7 shows FIGS. 11 and 12.
- Simplification of the description for sections and Components that are equivalent in FIGS. 8 to 10 have the same reference numerals, which however, it is preceded by a "5".
- the arrangement is such that a Bracket 561 for the sound tube 528 between the Incisura Anterior 525 and Tragus 527 in Entrance area of the ear canal 526 is sunk.
- the Bracket 560 runs even steeper than that of the Embodiment according to FIGS. 8 to 10.
- FIGS. 13 and 14 A second variant of the modification of the otoplastic 7 shows FIGS. 13 and 14.
- the difference to the variant according to FIGS. 11 and 12 is that the sound tube holder by one in the upper area of the ear canal without contact arranged ear canal pin 644 is formed, the Sound tube 628 or an earmold elbow encloses.
- FIGS. 15 and 16 show a modification 11 to 14 in such a way that a further improve the stabilization of the otoplastic results.
- the sound tube holder 744 is over a hatched indicated support claw 780 stabilizes the from the bottom of the 744 sound tube holder extending towards Antitragus 730, where hugs the Concha 722.
