Hearing device with single connection for shielding and identification of an earpiece

摘要

The apparatus e.g. behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing device, has a receiver device (13) removably electrically coupled to a receiver housing (10), where the device includes an electronic identification element i.e. ohmic resistor. A receiver (12) is connected to a pair of electrical cables (132, 133) with a sheath cable (131). The cable (131) and the element are conducted in the housing via a common single-pole connection. The receiver device includes a three-pole plug (14) with two poles for controlling the receiver and another pole for the sheath cable and the identification element.
