Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine einstückig ausgeführte, flexible oder semiflexible Otoplastik (1) als Ohreinsatz für Hörgeräte. Die Otoplastik (1) hat einen hohlen, schlauchartigen Grundkörper (2), der sich von einer Anschlussseite (3) zu einer Gehörgangsseite (4) hin verjüngt. An der Anschlussseite (3) ist eine erste Öffnung (5) zum Anschluss eines Hörgerätezubehörs und an der Gehörgangsseite (4) eine zweite Öffnung (6) für einen Schallaustritt und/oder als Aufnahme für das Ende eines Schallschlauchs (17) vorgesehen. Die erste Öffnung (5) an der Anschlussseite (3) weist eine ovale Kontur auf. Außerdem geht ein der Anschlussseite (3) zugeordneter Anschlussabschnitt (7) des Grundkörpers (2) über einen konkaven Krümmungsabschnitt (9) in einen der Gehörgangsseite (4) zugeordneten Gehörgangsabschnitt (8) des Grundkörpers (2) über. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Otoplastik (1) handelt es sich um eine Universalotoplastik, die anatomisch so geformt ist, dass sie von einer Vielzahl von Personen mit einer hohen Passgenauigkeit und einem hohen Tragekomfort benutzt werden kann. Zugleich handelt es sich um eine Universalotoplastik, die einteilig ausgeführt ist und ohne jegliche Adapter mit einer Vielzahl von Gerätetypen und -modellen verbunden werden kann, da sie durch ihre spezielle Form im Anschlussabschnitt (7) mit unterschiedlichen Hörgerätezubehörteilen koppelbar ist. Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine Verwendung einer solchen Otoplastik (1) als Probeotoplastik zum Testen verschiedener Hörgerätetypen und Hörgerätemodelle.

The invention relates to a one-piece, flexible or semi-flexible earmold (1) as an ear insert for hearing aids. The otoplastic (1) has a hollow, tubular body (2) that tapers from a connection side (3) to an auditory canal side (4). A first opening (5) for connecting a hearing aid accessory is provided on the connection side (3) and a second opening (6) for sound exit and / or as a receptacle for the end of a sound tube (17) is provided on the auditory canal side (4). The first opening (5) on the connection side (3) has an oval contour. In addition, a connection section (7) of the base body (2) assigned to the connection side (3) merges via a concave curvature section (9) into an auditory canal section (8) of the base body (2) assigned to the auditory canal side (4). The otoplastic (1) according to the invention is a universal otoplastic which is anatomically shaped so that it can be used by a large number of people with a high degree of accuracy and comfort. At the same time, it is a universal earmold that is made in one piece and can be connected to a variety of device types and models without any adapters, since its special shape in the connection section (7) enables it to be coupled with different hearing aid accessories. The invention also relates to the use of such an otoplastic (1) as a test otoplastic for testing different types of hearing aids and hearing aid models.
