Definitions

  • the invention relates to a specified in claim 1 device for inserting a pin in a hearing aid.
  • Hearing aids are portable hearing aids that are used to care for the hearing impaired.
  • different types of hearing aids are used, such as behind-the-ear hearing aids, hearing aids with external earphones and in-the-ear hearing aids, e.g. Concha hearing aids or canal hearing aids, provided.
  • the exemplified hearing aids are worn on the outer ear or in the ear canal.
  • bone conduction hearing aids, implantable or vibrotactile hearing aids are also available on the market. The stimulation of the damaged hearing takes place either mechanically or electrically.
  • Hearing aids have in principle as essential components an input transducer, an amplifier and an output transducer.
  • the input transducer is usually a sound receiver, for example a microphone, and / or an electromagnetic receiver, for example an induction coil.
  • the output transducer is usually realized as an electroacoustic transducer, for example as a miniature loudspeaker, or as an electromechanical transducer, for example as a bone conduction receiver.
  • the amplifier is usually integrated in a signal processing unit. This basic structure is in FIG. 1 shown using the example of a behind-the-ear hearing aid. In a hearing aid housing 1 for carrying behind the ear, one or more microphones 2 for receiving the sound from the environment are installed.
  • a signal processing unit 3 which is also integrated in the hearing aid housing 1, processes the microphone signals and amplifies them.
  • the output signal the signal processing unit 3 is transmitted to a loudspeaker or receiver 4, which outputs an acoustic signal.
  • the sound is optionally transmitted via a sound tube, which is fixed with an earmold in the ear canal, to the eardrum of the device carrier.
  • the power supply of the hearing device and in particular the signal processing unit 3 is effected by a likewise integrated into the hearing aid housing 1 battery. 5
  • a behind-the-ear hearing aid usually cylindrical pins, which are also referred to as pins or axes used.
  • controls can be integrated by means of these pins in the housing.
  • the housing shells and the battery door are attached by means of the pins on the hearing aid.
  • the pins usually have dimensions of about 0.6 mm in diameter and a length in the range of about 3 mm to 8 mm. Depending on the model, different numbers of pens can be used in a hearing aid.
  • the pens In the event of a pending housing change or repair, maintenance or cleaning work to be performed, the pens must be removed by skilled personnel, such as an acoustician.
  • the acoustician will use a special tool that the manufacturer of the hearing aid usually provides with the delivery. After completion of the work pins are also used by means of the tool again. Since, due to the small dimensions of the pins, these can be lost, the acoustician will generally resort to new pins when assembling the device. Therefore, the manufacturer provides, for example, in the case of a housing replacement a change box, in addition to the housing shells and the pins, preferably individually inserted in eg foam, are.
  • FIG. 2 shows such a known arrangement. In the Removable box 6 are inserted into a foam 7 more pins 8.
  • Gripping means for inserting pins are known in hearing aid technology.
  • a known embodiment of a gripping means is in FIG. 3 shown.
  • the known gripping means 9 is designed as a hand tool and has in the end region A an opening 10 for receiving a pin 8.
  • a pressure pin 11 fixedly connected to the known gripping means 9 is arranged, with which pins to be removed can be expressed.
  • a disadvantage of the known embodiments of the device for inserting pins is that the pin must be picked up with the fingers or with an auxiliary tool, for example tweezers, and inserted into the opening of the tool. This requires the use of both hands. Since the diameter of the opening is larger than the diameter of the pin, the pin is not automatically held in the opening. During movement of the tool, in the opening of the pin is the risk of falling out and possibly loss of the pen.
  • an auxiliary tool for example tweezers
  • the object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages and to provide an improved device for inserting a pin in a hearing aid.
  • this object is achieved by a device for inserting a pin into a hearing aid with a cylindrical gripping means of the independent main claim.
  • the invention provides a device for inserting a stylus into a hearing device.
  • a gripping means is used, which is cylindrical.
  • the gripping means has an opening over which a in the hearing aid to be placed pin is added.
  • the gripping means is pressed onto the pin.
  • After the placement of the pen in the hearing aid is then exerted, for example, by hand pressure on the lateral surface of the gripping means.
  • This causes a change in the size of the opening in the radial direction, whereby the pin covered by the gripping means is released.
  • it is possible in an advantageous manner to record a pin to be placed in the hearing device with only one-handed operation without the use of an aid such as tweezers and mount.
  • the risk of unwanted loss is reduced by falling out of the pin from the device.
  • the opening of the device can be designed circular cylindrical. This facilitates advantageously the inclusion of the usually also cylindrical pins.
  • the opening may consist of staggered cylindrical sections. About the arranged directly on the front side of the device opening of the pin is received. The advantage of this is that in this embodiment, the depth stop surface is increased for the recorded pin and the pin is thereby better fixed during insertion.
  • the end region of the gripping means may comprise a plurality of slots.
  • the opening is thereby spread open when pressure is exerted on the lateral surface and the pin encompassed in the opening is released.
  • the diameter of the opening in a first position may be smaller than the diameter of the pin.
  • the first position identifies while the relaxed state of the opening before receiving a pin.
  • the opening may have an axis which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the gripping means.
  • the gripping means may be formed integrally and made of an elastically deformable material and equipped with longitudinal slots along the longitudinal axis of the gripping means. This advantageously causes a pressure exerted on the lateral surface of the gripping means pressure to change the size of the opening and the release of the gripping means encompassed pin leads.
  • the end region of the gripping means may be formed conically with the opening. This facilitates the view of the pin to be encompassed by the opening of the device and thereby enables a controlled use of the device.
  • longitudinal slots can be arranged along the longitudinal axis of the gripping means in the region of the lateral surface which is exposed to the pressure effect.
  • the gripping means on the end face, which is opposite to the opening comprise a pressure pin fixedly connected to the gripping means, whose diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the pins.
  • the gripping device can also be used to remove an integrated in the hearing aid pen by the pen is expressed with the pressure pin. This makes the use of an additional tool for expressing a pen unnecessary.
  • FIG. 4 a perspective view of a gripping means 12 according to the invention.
  • an opening 10 is inserted into the gripping means 12, via which a pin 8 can be accommodated.
  • longitudinal slots 13 are arranged.
  • the end region A of the gripping means 12 also has slots 14.
  • FIGS. 5a to 5e each show a perspective view of a gripping means 12 according to the invention in various states when receiving a pin. 8
  • FIG. 5a shows a gripping means 12 before receiving a pin 8.
  • the pin 8 is inserted in the example shown in a foaming. 7
  • FIG. 5b shows the recording of a pin 8 by a gripping means 12.
  • the gripping means 12 is pressed onto a pin 8. Since the opening 10 of the gripping means 12 has a smaller diameter than the pin 8, the opening 10 is spread open and the pin 8 is clamped in the opening 10.
  • FIG. 5c shows an opening 10 which is pressed onto a pin 8, again in an enlarged view.
  • FIG. 5d is the state of a gripping means 12 shown after completed recording of a pin 8.
