Protective disposable cap for hearing aid probe - prevents ear wax from contaminating probe and blocking channels using demountable tubular connector

摘要

A hearing aid contains an electrical section (1) which rests behind the ear, and a probe (2) which enters the passageway into the ear. A tubular connector (5) allows separation of the two parts so that ear wax can be removed, esp. from the small channels (4) in the probe. The separation and cleansing can be eliminated by having over the lower part of the probe (3) a flexible, elastic and cheap cap, which does not significantly impair the transmission of sound, and is easily changed. The cap be coated by the user and can be supplied treated with deodorant.
