Bone conduction hearing aid system

摘要

A bone conduction hearing aid system for generating bone conduction vibrations is disclosed. The bone conduction hearing aid system has a hearing aid with a vibrator. The hearing aid system includes an interconnection unit to connect the hearing aid to the user. There is a coupling between the interconnection unit and the hearing aid to connect and disconnect the hearing aid to and from the interconnection unit. The interconnection unit has connection portion and contact plate portion. The connection portion and the contact plate portion are designed in one integral piece of continuous polymer material. The interconnection unit has a concave or planar adhesive surface that can be adhered to the skin on the head of the user without applying any specific pressure against the skin. The sound vibrations are transmitted from the vibrator to the hearing organ as bone conduction sound vibrations.

主权项

1. A bone conduction hearing aid system, comprising,
a hearing aid device having a vibrator disposed in a hearing aid housing, the hearing aid device having a first connection portion; and an interconnection unit having a contact plate portion; the contact plate portion having a first side having a second connection portion and a second side at least partly provided with an adhesive component; the adhesive component having a first adhesive side and a second adhesive side; the first adhesive side being attached to the second side of the contact plate portion and the second adhesive side being adhesively attachable to a skin of a user; the first connection portion being removably connectable to the second connection portion; the second connection portion of the interconnection unit being integral with the contact plate portion; one of the first and the second connection portion being a female connection portion and the other of the first and the second connection portion being a male connection portion, and the male connection portion being at least partly insertable into the female connection portion, one of the female and the male connection portion being flexible with a snap-in ridge and the other of the first and the second connection portion having a circular rigid coupling ridge; and the second side of the contact plate portion being concave or planar without convex areas and without any component protruding from the second side of the contact plate portion of the interconnection unit.
