Abstract

Die Schallaustrittsöffnung eines Hörgeräts oder einer anderen Hörvorrichtung soll wirksam vor Cerumen geschützt werden. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass an der Schallaustrittsöffnung eine Cerumenschutzeinrichtung angeordnet wird, die zumindest teilweise aus einem offenporigen Material, z. B. Schwamm (1), zum Aufsaugen des Cerumens besteht. Vorzugsweise wird ein ringförmiger Schwamm (1) auf einem Träger (2) getragen, welcher an ein Hörgerät oder eine Otoplastik austauschbar befestigt wird.

The sound outlet of a hearing aid or other hearing device should be effectively protected from cerumen. For this purpose, it is provided that at the sound outlet opening a cerumen protection device is arranged, which is at least partially made of an open-pored material, for. B. sponge (1), for absorbing the cerumen. Preferably, an annular sponge (1) is carried on a support (2) which is interchangeably attached to a hearing aid or earmold.
