Definitions
- the invention relates to a hearing aid with a cerumen protection device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention further relates to an associated cerumen protection device.
- the hearing aid is a hearing aid that allows users with reduced hearing to normal auditory perception.
- the scope of the invention are also hearing aids for normal hearing users, such. Earphones worn in the ear.
- a hearing device typically comprises a housing which can be inserted at least partially into an auditory canal of a person wearing the hearing device (in short: “user”).
- This housing is referred to below for conceptual distinction of other housings as “hearing aid housing”. If the hearing device housing is adapted to the user-specific anatomy of the ear canal, then the housing is usually referred to as "earmold”.
- At least one sound generator (“earpiece”, “loudspeaker”) is usually accommodated, which serves to output noises, which in the case of a hearing aid, for example with an integrated microphone, are emitted via a sound outlet channel of the hearing device housing into the auditory canal of the user.
- a protective device is typically provided.
- the protective device is often designed in the form of a replaceable filter insert, which is used interchangeably in the sound outlet channel of the hearing aid housing. Due to the location of the hearing aid housing in the ear canal, the dirt to be held is largely cerumen (colloquially: "earwax”) or sweat.
- the protective device is therefore also referred to as a cerumen protection device.
- Such a protective device for a sound inlet channel of a hearing aid is for example off US 2014/0193012 A1 known.
- This protective device in cooperation with a stepped design of the sound inlet channel, creates a meandering course of a sound inlet opening, which is intended to prevent dirt from penetrating into the sound inlet channel.

- the circumferential wall of the filter housing is preferably aligned in its area extent at least approximately parallel to an axis of the passage opening (and thus to the dirt penetration direction).
- At least one breakthrough is introduced into this peripheral wall, which corresponds to at least one cavity arranged in the hearing device housing.
- the cavity serves for discharging and / or for receiving dirt (in particular cerumen) which is led out of the filter housing through the opening.
- a plurality of openings are introduced into the peripheral wall, wherein each breakthrough corresponds to a cavity of the hearing aid housing.
- the term "corresponds" is to be understood to mean that an opening leading to the cavity in the hearing aid housing is arranged with respect to the protective device used as intended, that by means of the opening there is a fluidic connection between the interior of the filter housing and the cavity.
- this allows in the hearing aid according to the invention that cerumen or other dirt that penetrates into the filter housing, via the or each breakthrough derived laterally and transported to the cavity.
- the dirt is particularly effectively kept safe from the possibly in the hearing aid housing component.
- a clogging of the protective device is counteracted.
- the hearing aid according to the invention is characterized by high protection efficiency, and thus advantageously by a particularly high robustness, a comparatively long life and a low susceptibility to repair.
- the cavity is formed by a collecting chamber, which is formed in the hearing aid housing.
- the cavity is an opening (otherwise open) to the opening, but otherwise closed (collecting) chamber, in which cerumen or other dirt accumulates successively.

- either a single collecting chamber can be provided, which communicates with each of the openings.
- a collecting chamber is designed, in particular, as an annular chamber surrounding the passage opening or the protective device.
- a plurality of separate collecting chambers are provided.
- the cavity is formed by a connecting channel, which starts from the wall opening delimiting the passage opening and opens to an outside of the hearing aid housing.
- the cerumen derived from the interior of the filter housing is transported away through the connecting channel and at least partially discharged via the outside of the hearing device housing.
- a separate - with the respective associated breakthrough fluidly connected - connecting channel available for each breakthrough of the filter housing.
- the hearing aid housing has at least one collecting chamber and at least one connecting channel in combination.
- the protective device and the hearing aid housing are preferably on the protective device and the hearing aid housing corresponding
- Such (also acting as anti-rotation) means are given for example by a tongue and groove arrangement.
- the or each connecting channel extends obliquely toward an end of the hearing aid housing arranged as intended on the side of the audible ear.
- the course in particular has a curvature.
- the connecting channel widens conically from its housing-side end (at the opening of the filter housing) to its housing-outside end, so that a backflow of liquid substances (perspiration, cerumen) is prevented against the intended direction of flow.
- Each breakthrough is preferably introduced as a unilaterally open (ie crenellated) recess in the peripheral wall of the filter housing, which is open to a side facing away from the filter element edge of the peripheral wall.
- each opening is introduced in particular into the circumferential wall as the circumferential wall penetrating radially, extending approximately along an axial direction.
- the filter insert comprises at least two filter elements, which are arranged sequentially in the filter housing.
- a layer of a filter medium, preferably of a filter gauze, of a filter membrane or of a (metallic) sieve is provided as the filter element.
- both or all filter elements are identical.
- combinations of different filter elements are also conceivable within the scope of the invention.
- the filter housing runs conically towards its intended end facing the interior of the hearing aid housing.
- the embodiment according to the invention of the hearing device housing and the corresponding protective device are particularly preferably used in an in-ear hearing aid device or in a hearing device shell for an external listener of a behind-the-ear hearing aid device. Furthermore, the invention also extends, for example, to the application of the protective device in a headset worn in the ear.
- FIG. 1 shows a portion of a hearing aid 1, which includes a (hearing aid) housing 2, which is in an auditory canal of a person using the hearing aid 1 person (hereinafter referred to as "user") can be used.

- a rotarygang beginneres end 3 of the housing 2 is executed rounded.
- a (not shown here) sound generator is added in an interior 4 of the housing 2 a (not shown here) sound generator is added. The sound generated with this is conducted via a sound outlet channel 5 from the interior of the housing 2 to the outside (into the auditory canal of the user).
- the sound outlet channel 5 is tubular, with its diameter widening toward the end 3 in a step 6.
- the sound outlet channel 5 is surrounded by a housing wall 8 of the housing 2, which limits the sound outlet channel 5 with a wall surface 10.
- a side of the housing wall 8 or of the housing 2 facing the ear or auditory canal is designated as outer side 11.
- the sound outlet 5 radially surrounding annular chamber 12 is formed in the vicinity of the end 3, which undercuts the wall surface 10 to the end 3 out.
- a circumferential gap 13 introduced into the wall surface 10 at a slight distance from the step 6 forms the only access to the annular chamber 12.

- Cerumen-) protection device 20 used.
- Guard device 20 shown in detail comprises a filter housing 21, and a cerumen and other dirt at least largely retaining filter element 22.
- the filter housing 21 is formed substantially by an annular circumferential wall 23 made of plastic.
- the peripheral wall 23 forms approximately a hollow cylinder or a (short) tube whose first axial end (designated as front end 25) is intended to face the auditory canal, while the second axial end (designated as front end 26) is intended to face the sound generator.
- a space enclosed by the peripheral wall 23 is designated as the housing interior 27 of the filter housing 21.
- the filter element 22 is held by the filter housing 21.
- the filter element 22 is integrated in the peripheral wall 23 in the course of the production of the protective device 20 by encapsulation, Umg cordung or reshaping.
- the filter element 22 is formed here in a conventional manner by an approximately circular layer of filter gauze.
- the filter element 22 is formed by a (metallic) screen or a sound-permeable membrane.
