261 | Control panel with activation zone | EP04076952.3 | 2004-07-07 | EP1496530A2 | 2005-01-12 | Jorgensen, Martin Bondo; Petersen, Jorgen Ahm |
An interchangeable hearing aid control panel with at least one activation zone arranged in connection with a layered structure. The layered structure has an electrically nonconducting substrate (20), an electrically conducting path (31) arranged in connection with the substrate, and an electrically conducting member (40), such as a conducting foil, arranged at a predetermined distance from the activation zone. The activation zone can be either in a deactuated or in an actuated state. In the actuated state the conducting member and the conducting path are electrically connected while disconnected in the deactuated state. Electrical connection to an associated hearing aid is by means of a connector, such as a plug, enabling the control panel to be easily changed. Preferably, the connector is formed by a piece of flexprint. The layered structure may comprise a second conducting path (32). In preferred embodiments activation zones are indicated by "poppel domes" formed by a surface layer covering the layered structure. The activation zones may form an MTO control or a volume control. To fit BTE hearing aids, the layered structure preferably has an elongated structure with a length of 1-4 cm. Other shapes can be formed to fit ITE, ITC and CIC hearing aids. In preferred embodiments, the control panel comprises one or more Silicon-based microphones protected behind a surface layer of the control panel. |

Beim erfindungsgemässen Bedienelement (1) mit einem mechanischen Bedienteil (8) sowie einem elektrischen, elektromechanischen oder elektronischen Schaltteil (3;4), weist das Schaltteil (3;4) mindestens eine auf Druck reagierende Schaltflächen (5;6) auf und ist das Bedienteil (8) gegenüber dem Schaltteil (3;4) resp. der Schaltfläche (5;6) elastisch oder federnd verschieb- oder kippbar angeordnet. Weiter ist am Bedienteil (8) jeweils ein der Schaltfläche (5;6) zugewandter Betätigungsnocken (10;11) ausgebildet, wobei das Bedienteil (8) und das Schaltteil (3;4) nicht direkt miteinander verbunden sind. Durch diesen Aufbau des Bedienelementes (1) in zwei Teile, einem mechanischen Bedienteil (8) sowie einem elektrischen Schaltteil (3;4), kann nun der Austausch resp. Auswechslung des mechanischen Bedienteils (8) erfolgen, ohne dass der elektrische Schaltteil (3;4) davon betroffen ist. Damit kann die Auswechslung vorteilhaft durchgeführt werden, ohne dass ein Ablöten des elektrischen Schaltteiles mit den damit verbundenen hohen Aufwand und Risiken notwendig ist. |

An apparatus and method for controlling one or a plurality of adjustable operational parameters of a hearing aid by the movement of an external magnetic actuator into and out of proximity with the hearing aid. The external actuator is handheld and comprises a magnetic source such as a permanent magnet. The hearing aid has a microphone for generating signals, hearing aid circuitry for processing the signals, an output transducer for transforming the processed signals to a user compatible form, and a magnetic switch, such as a reed switch, connected to the hearing aid circuitry. In one embodiment hearing aid circuitry has a plurality of adjustable operational parameters and includes control processing circuitry for switching between and controlling the adjustable operational parameters. The magnetic source is moved into and out of proximity with the hearing aid a selected number of times activating or switching 'on' the magnetic switch each time. The control processing circuitry is configured to switch between the adjustable operational parameters on sequential activations of the magnetic switch for selection of an operational parameter to adjust. The control processing circuity is further configured to adjust the selected adjustable operational parameter after the activation of the magnetic switch is maintained a predetermined amount of times and to stop the adjustment when the magnetic switch is deactivated. | ||||||

Générateur d'impulsions électro-mécaniques dont le mode de fonctionnement est purement mécanique et s'utilisant dans un équipement micro-électronique, par exemple pour le réglage du volume dans des prothèses auditives; ledit générateur d'impulsions est constitué par un boîtier formé par une partie de base fixe (7) dans laquelle un axe (3) est monté fixe et une roue de synchronisation (1) est montée rotative autour de l'axe, ladite roue de synchronisation se présentant sous la forme d'un cylindre ouvert vers le bas, en liaison fixe avec un boîtier formant une poignée extérieure. La surface intérieure du cylindre formée par la roue de synchronisation (1) est pourvue de rainures (12) venant en prise avec la saillie (13) d'un support circulaire (5) monté rotatif autour de l'axe (3). Un ressort de contact en forme de U (6) possède des éléments (6', 6'') sur lesquels s'exerce individuellement un mouvement oscillant, respectivement entre les paires de contact ABC et ADE, créé par la rotation de la roue de synchronisation (1) dans l'un ou l'autre sens, par l'intermédiaire du support qui ne peut se déplacer que sur une section circulaire prédéterminée, afin de produire des trains d'impulsions numériques. Un dispositif de blocage (4, 10, 15) empêche le support (5) de se déplacer au-delà de la section circulaire prédéterminée et provoque l'engagement continu de la saillie (13) dans les rainures (12) sous l'effet de la rotation de la roue de synchronisation (1). | ||||||
