Abstract

Schutzeinrichtungen von Mikrofoneingängen eines Hörgeräts sollen komfortabler ausgetauscht werden können. Hierzu ist eine Abdeckvorrichtung (A) für mindestens einen Mikrofoneingang eines Hörgeräts (HG) mit einer im Wesentlichen akustisch durchlässigen Schutzeinrichtung (S) zum Schutz des mindestens einen Mikrofoneingangs gegen Feststoffpartikel vorgesehen. Die Abdeckvorrichtung (A) kann kraft- oder formschlüssig an der Oberfläche des Hörgeräts befestigt werden. Die Abdeckvorrichtung (A) kann aber auch einteilig mit der Hörgeräteoberschale (OS) gebildet sein.

Protective devices of microphone inputs of a hearing aid should be able to be exchanged more conveniently. For this purpose, a covering device (A) is provided for at least one microphone input of a hearing aid (HG) with a substantially acoustically permeable protective device (S) for protecting the at least one microphone input against solid particles. The covering device (A) can be attached to the surface of the hearing device in a force-fitting or form-fitting manner. However, the covering device (A) can also be formed in one piece with the hearing device upper shell (OS).
