A hearing aid has a housing insertable into the auditory canal, wherein the housing contains at least a microphone, an amplifier, an earpiece and a power source. In instruments of this kind it has turned out to be desirable to have, in addition to the usual volume control, an additional control for varying the way the incoming sound signals are influenced by the amplifier (i.e. its characteristic) to adapt to individual hearing impairments. For this purpose the hearing aid provides in the housing space for the battery a pitch control in such a manner that its actuating member can be operated at least when the power source is removed from the instrument. This makes it possible to reduce the space requirement for the pitch control so that even hearing aids insertable into the auditory canal can contain such an additional control. |
