Abstract

Für eine besonders gute Anpassung an die jeweilige Hörsituation ist eine Hörvorrichtung zum Tragen im Ohr mit einem Gehäuse und einem in dem Gehäuse angeordneten Kanal, welcher als Durchtrittsöffnung zwischen dem Ohrinneren und dem Ohräußeren für Schall oder Luft ausgeführt ist, wobei der Kanal ein Bauelement, insbesondere ein Ventil, aufweist, welches zur Veränderung der Größe der Durchtrittsöffnung an zumindest einer Position ausgebildet ist, vorgesehen.

Figure imgaf001
For a particularly good adaptation to the particular hearing situation, a hearing device for carrying in the ear with a housing and a channel disposed in the housing, which is designed as a passage opening between the inside of the ear and the outside of the ear for sound or air, wherein the channel is a component, in particular a valve, which is designed to change the size of the passage opening at at least one position, is provided.
