| 104 | Magnetic attachment device for insertion and removal of hearing aid | US920145 | 1986-10-16 | US4756312A | 1988-07-12 | John M. Epley |
| A direct contact hearing aid apparatus adapted to be mounted deep within the ear canal is disclosed, including an output electromechanical transducer for converting audio output signals into mechanical movement of an output coupling element without the production of discernible sound waves to prevent acoustic feedback. The coupling element is supported for magnetic engagement with a contact element mounted on the tympanic membrane by a metal clip attached to the malleus bone to provide direct electromechanical coupling to the ossicles through the tympanic membrane. Alternatively, the contact element may be attached to the malleus bone by a clamp whose jaws are lined with bioactive ceramic. A pair of magnetic switches is provided within the hearing aid housing for mechanically switching the connections of the battery and a volume control while the hearing aid is mounted in the ear canal in response to changes in the polarity of a remote external magnetic actuator located outside of the housing. An external magnetic attachment device is used for insertion and removal of the hearing aid, radio or other electronic apparatus into and from the ear canal by magnetic engagement with a magnetic holder member on the electronic apparatus. The magnetic attachment device may be unipolar or bipolar and has a permanent magnet which is rotated between an attraction position and a release position by a selection knob. The output transducer of the hearing aid may be a piezoelectric plastic film transducer in the form of a flexible diaphragm or a folded sheet bender of the bimorph type, or it may be an electromagnetic transducer. The electromagnetic transducer may have an external magnetic coupling element mounted outside the hearing aid housing and spaced from the magnetic core of such transducer but coupled to the contact element. Also, a reverse bias permanent magnet may be provided at the end of such core to repel a movable permanent magnet which is mounted on a resilient coupling member to form the external magnetic coupling element. | ||||||

| 106 | In-the-ear hearing aid | US702968 | 1985-02-19 | US4634815A | 1987-01-06 | Tierry Marquis |
| A face plate includes a passage for receiving a button cell. Disposed on the back of the face plate is a mounting plate. Between the mounting plate and the face plate, the edge of a diaphragm is gripped, the center part of which bulges resiliently outward. By means of pressure on the center part of the diaphragm, a circuit is closed. A cover having a center opening is hinged to the face plate. Through the opening there extends a pushbutton which is rotatable within limits relative to the cover and axially displaceable. Resting against the inside of the pushbutton is an annular contact element which is rotatingly integral therewith and has a contact tongue connected via a crosspiece. By rotating the pushbutton, the contact tongue can be brought into contact with a contact member disposed in a groove in the cover for turning on the hearing aid. By pressing the pushbutton, the button cell is axially displaced inwardly against the return force of the outwardly bulging portion of the diaphragm, and the mentioned circuit is closed. The hearing aid thus has only a single, relatively large operating element by means of which it can be turned on and off, and the volume controlled. | ||||||

| A hearing aid of the self-contained type. The hearing aid includes a unitary housing shaped for insertion into an ear of a wearer. The housing has a face plate adapted to face outwardly of the ear of the wearer. A first opening is provided in the face plate to form a battery compartment. The battery compartment normally is concealed by a pivotable door movable from a closed position to an open position providing access to the battery compartment. A wheel mounting cavity is also provided within the unitary housing in laterally spaced relation to the battery compartment. The cavity is defined in part by an outer wall integral with the end plate. A second opening is provided in the face plate to form a volume control wheel compartment. The compartment is disposed between the battery compartment and the wheel mounting cavity and is in communication with the wheel mounting cavity. A volume control wheel is disposed in the volume control wheel compartment for rotational movement. The wheel is mounted on supporting structure rigidly secured within the wheel mounting cavity and extending into the volume control wheel compartment. The hearing aid also includes at least a portion of the outermost peripheral extent of the volume control wheel projecting above the pivotable door and the outer wall. With this construction, the volume control wheel is adapted for manipulation by a finger of the wearer. | ||||||

| 109 | Combined rotary potentiometer and switch | US711345 | 1976-08-04 | US4081782A | 1978-03-28 | Bradrick Alan Hildreth; Donald Harrison Stephens; George Richard Wiley |
| A potentiometer and switch combination including a rotatable control cap positioned over a potentiometer body to form a housing. The cap is provided with an annular flange which abuts an annular shoulder on the body, either the flange or the shoulder being formed from stiffly flexible, resilient material. The body holds the cap in place by means of a post having a chevron at its upper end which mates with a recess in the cap. The cap is positioned to deform the stiffly flexible, resilient material into frictional sealing relation with its abutting member and thereby seal the interior of the housing. The sealing arrangement also introduces a torque which opposes rotation of the cap. The switch includes a conductive strip held by the body, one portion of the strip forming a first contact and another portion forming a spring detent. A cantilever spring blade which holds a second contact adjacent to and radially inward from the first contact urges the contacts together, while a nonconductive blocking member projects downwardly from the cap to separate the contacts when the switch is off. Rotating the cap moves the blocking member out from between the contacts, permitting them to close, and also causes the spring detent to snap against the blocking member and give the operator a positive switch feel.The device is particularly suited for use in a hearing aid. | ||||||
| 110 | Electrical hearing aid | US35217973 | 1973-04-18 | US3828142A | 1974-08-06 | BUTTNER G |
| An electrical hearing aid is operated by the current of a current source provided in the casing of the hearing aid in a holder movable therein to exchange the source. The operating current is switched on and off by the movement of the holder and the closing or opening of contacts. An element effective between the holder and the casing snaps in rest locations in the switched on and switched off positions of the holder. The invention is particularly characterized by the provision of a closing device located between the holder and the casing and movable in and out to limit the movement of the holder at most to the switching operation and at least to an opening which just about prevents the removal of the battery.

| 120 | Hearing apparatus having a rocker-like actuator for switching on/off | US11805820 | 2007-05-24 | US08094851B2 | 2012-01-10 | Markus Heerlein; Thomas Kasztelan; Wee Haw Koo |
| The size of hearing apparatuses and in particular of hearing devices is to be reduced. To this end, provision is made to combine a rocker-like actuator of the hearing apparatus for manually adjusting a parameter of a signal processing unit for pressing from a neutral position in a first adjusting position or a second adjusting position with an on/off switch. To this end, the rocker-like actuator can be pressed into an additional switching position. The multiple functionalities of the actuator allow installation space to be conserved and thus allow the housing of the hearing apparatus to be simplified and minimized. | ||||||
