Abstract

Schalteranordnung für Hörgeräte, die eine durch eine Buchsenabdeckung (2) abdeckbare Steckerbuchse (4) umfasst. Die Steckerbuchse (4) und die Buchsenabdeckung (2) sind derart angeordnet und ausgestaltet, dass durch Druck auf die die Steckerbuchse (4) abdeckende Buchsenabdeckung (2) ein elektrischer Schaltkontakt herstellbar ist. Außerdem wird ein Verfahren zur Programmumschaltung von Hörgeräten mit einem Hinter-dem-Ohr-Teil angegeben, bei dem mittels Steckerbuchse (4) des Hinter-dem-Ohr-Teils und ihrer Buchsenabdeckung (2) durch Druckeinwirkung ein elektrischer Schaltkontakt hergestellt wird. Dadurch kann Platz gespart werden.

Figure imgaf001
Switch assembly for hearing aids, comprising a plug-in socket (4) which can be covered by a socket cover (2). The socket (4) and the socket cover (2) are arranged and configured such that an electrical switching contact can be produced by pressure on the plug socket (4) covering the socket cover (2). In addition, a method for program switching of hearing aids is provided with a behind-the-ear part, in which by means of socket (4) of the behind-the-ear part and its female cover (2) by pressure, an electrical switch contact is made. This can save space.
