Abstract
Bei einem universell verwendbaren, in dem Ohr tragbaren Hörhilfegerät bzw. einem universell verwendbaren Ohrpassstück soll der Tragekomfort verbessert werden. Die Erfindung schlägt hierzu die Verwendung eines Gehörgangseinsatzes (10) vor, der einen zylinderförmigen vorderen Teilabschnitt (11) aufweist, der bei getragenem Gehörgangseinsatz (10) in dem Gehörgang (21) liegt, darin jedoch nicht eng anliegt. Die Abdichtung des Gehörgangs (21) erfolgt durch einen zweiten trichter- oder becherförmigen Teilbereich (12) des Gehörgangseinsatzes (10). Dieser schließt den Gehörgang (21) im Übergangsbereich (22) des Gehörgangs (21) zu dem Außenohr und damit außerhalb des eigentlichen Gehörgangs (21) ab. Durch den Gehörgangseinsatz (10) gemäß der Erfindung werden Druckstellen innerhalb des Gehörgangs (21) vermieden und außerdem der Okklusionseffekt verringert. In a universally usable, portable in the ear hearing aid or a universal earmold piece of comfort is to be improved. The invention proposes for this purpose the use of an ear canal insert (10), which has a cylindrical front portion (11) which is in the ear canal (21) with worn ear canal insert (10), but it does not fit tightly therein. The sealing of the auditory canal (21) takes place through a second funnel-shaped or cup-shaped partial region (12) of the auditory canal insert (10). This closes off the auditory canal (21) in the transition region (22) of the auditory canal (21) to the outer ear and thus outside the actual auditory canal (21). By the ear canal insert (10) according to the invention, pressure points within the ear canal (21) are avoided and also reduces the occlusion effect.
