Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dome for a hearing aid device that can be inserted into an ear canal, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a hearing aid device with a corresponding dome.
  • a dome according to the preamble of claim 1 is off DE 10 2011 115 099 B3 known.
  • This dome has an inner part and a screen with an opening.
  • the inner part and the shade are made in two parts.
  • the inner part is formed from a dimensionally stable plastic.
  • the screen is made of a soft plastic.
  • An outer part formed integrally on the screen surrounds the inner part, the outer part protruding beyond the inner part in the axial direction.
  • a cerumen protection with a protective element is arranged within the opening.
  • the protective element is formed by a membrane provided with holes. The screen and the outer part produced in one piece with it can be pressed together in the region of the opening, the membrane forming the protective element being pressed outwards in the manner of a dome.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a possibility of improving the protection of a hearing aid device against undesired soiling while at the same time simplifying cleaning.
  • the dome according to the invention for a hearing aid device that can be inserted into an ear canal comprises an inner part and a screen which is manufactured in one piece with the inner part and has at least one opening.
  • a cerumen protection with at least one protective element is arranged inside the opening, which can be flexibly turned inside out in and against the insertion direction of the dome into an ear canal.
  • a cleaning element that is movable against the insertion direction of the dome is connected to the screen in a materially bonded manner.
  • a dome with a correspondingly designed cleaning element enables low-cost cleaning for the wearer of the respective hearing aid device. Additional cleaning tools or the replacement of components of the dome can be omitted.
  • the flexibly evertable design of the at least one protective element allows its movement both in and against the direction of insertion of the dome into an ear canal.
  • the cleaning element can thus advantageously be moved for cleaning into the position provided for this purpose and, after cleaning, into the starting position. Due to the material connection of the cleaning element with the screen of the dome, the positioning of the individual components of the dome is fixed to one another. Slipping of the individual components is not to be feared.
  • the cleaning element is preferably cohesively connected to the at least one protective element.
  • the cerumen protection is furthermore preferably materially connected to the screen of the dome.
  • the cleaning element is thus connected to the screen via the at least one protective element of the cerumen protection.
  • the entire dome is manufactured in one piece with the screen, the inner part, the cerumen protection (including the or each protective element) and the cleaning element.
  • the dome is expediently made from a flexible material such as a thermoplastic elastomer or silicone.
  • the at least one protective element is curved in the insertion direction of the dome. Due to the arched training the mobility of the protective element is ensured in and against the insertion direction of the dome and thus allows the movement of the cleaning element, which is firmly connected to the protective element, also in and against the insertion direction of the dome.
  • the cleaning element preferably comprises an actuating element.
  • the actuating element is designed in particular as a rod.
  • the actuating element preferably extends in the insertion direction through the at least one opening formed in the screen. In this way, the actuating element is accessible from the outside of the screen for a hearing aid wearer and thus enables him to use the cleaning element or to carry out a cleaning process without additional cleaning tools.
  • the at least one protective element is preferably materially connected to the actuating element of the cleaning element and can thus be moved via the actuating element in and against the insertion direction of the dome.
  • the at least one protective element expediently comprises a foot which extends into the opening of the screen in the radial direction in relation to the insertion direction and which is connected to the actuating element in a materially bonded manner. A movement of the actuating element thus brings about a movement of the at least one protective element.
  • the cleaning element has at least one wing that extends outward in the radial direction in relation to the insertion direction.
  • This at least one wing is expediently also materially connected to the actuating element of the cleaning element and preferably extends from the actuating element into the opening of the screen. If the actuating element is moved, for example, in the insertion direction of the dome, the at least one protective element also moves in this direction due to the material connection between the wing and the actuating element.
  • the circumferential surface of the at least one wing of the cleaning element here - that is, when the actuating element is moved - advantageously comes to rest on the inner surface of the opening of the screen. More preferably, the side surfaces of the at least one wing of the cleaning element come into contact with the side surfaces of the protective element when the actuating element is moved. In this way, impurities or deposits collected in the opening of the screen are pushed out of the opening by the wing of the cleaning element and can be removed.
  • the number of protective elements of the cerumen protection and the number of wings of the cleaning element are not limited.
  • the cerumen protection comprises as many protective elements as the cleaning element comprises wings.
  • the cerumen protection is designed with at least two spaced apart protective elements and the cleaning element has at least two wings which, when the actuating element is moved, engage in the spaces formed by the spacing of the protective elements.
  • the peripheral surfaces of the wings within the spaces expediently rest on the inner surface of the opening of the screen and the side surfaces of the wings come into contact with the side surfaces of the protective element adjacent to them when the actuating element is moved.
  • the hearing aid device according to the invention comprises a dome with the features of the claims described above.
  • the use of such a one-piece dome with an integrated cleaning tool eliminates the need for additional cleaning tools. There is also no need to replace the dome or the cerumen protection.
  • Fig. 1 shows a three-dimensional representation of a dome 1 as part of a hearing aid device that can be inserted into an ear canal.
  • the dome 1 comprises an inner part 3 and a screen 5 made in one piece with the inner part 3.
  • the screen 5 has an opening 7 within which a cerumen protection 9 is arranged.
  • the screen 5 also has five openings 10 for open supply.
  • the cerumen protection 9 is made in one piece with the screen 5 of the dome 1.
  • the wax protection 9 comprises four protective elements 11 which can be flexibly turned inside out in and against the insertion direction 13 of the dome 1 into an ear canal.
  • the protective elements 11 are arched in the insertion direction 13 of the dome 1 and are evenly spaced from one another over the circumference of the cerumen protection 9. Due to the spacing of the protective elements 11 from one another, spaces 15 are formed between these.
  • the dome 1 comprises a cleaning element 17 which is movable in and against the insertion direction 13 of the dome 1.
  • the cleaning element 17 is materially connected to the protective elements 11 of the cerumen protection 9 and thus also to the screen 5.
  • the cleaning element 17 or its integral connection with the protective elements 11 is shown in FIG Fig. 2 to see.
  • the material connection is realized via an actuating element 19 of the cleaning element 17.
  • the actuating element 19 is rod-shaped and extends in the insertion direction 13 through the opening 7 formed in the screen 5.
  • the protective elements 11 each comprise a foot 23 which extends into the opening 7 of the screen 5 in the radial direction 21 in relation to the insertion direction 13 and which is connected to the actuating element 19 in a materially bonded manner. Both the cleaning element 17 itself and the four protective elements 11 of the cerumen protection 9 can be moved in and against the insertion direction 13 of the dome 1 via the actuating element 19.
  • the cleaning element 17 has four wings 27 extending outward in the radial direction 25 in relation to the insertion direction 13 of the dome 1. Three of the four wings 27 are shown in the section of the dome 1 Fig. 2 to recognize.
  • the wings 27 of the cleaning element 17 are manufactured in one piece with the actuating element 19 and are also arranged on the latter at a uniform distance from one another.
