Abstract
The present invention relates to a hearing device adapted to be positioned in an ear canal of a user, the hearing device comprising a receiver unit, a positioning member adapted to position and hold the hearing device in the ear canal of a user, and a vibration preventing arrangement adapted to prevent vibrations of a least part of the positioning member.
Claims19
A hearing device assembly adapted to be positioned in an ear canal of a user, the hearing device assembly comprising,
- a hearing device comprising a receiver unit,
- a positioning member adapted to position and hold the hearing device assembly in the ear canal of the user, and
- a vibration preventing arrangement adapted to prevent vibrations of at least part of the positioning member by vibration isolating at least part of the positioning member from the receiver unit, wherein the vibration preventing arrangement and the positioning member form a single and integral member of the same material, or wherein the vibration preventing arrangement forms a discrete member adapted to be secured to the positioning member,
- wherein the vibration preventing arrangement forms a suspension member between the receiver unit and at least part of the positioning member, the suspension member being more compliant than the positioning member, the suspension member being located external to the hearing device to operatively connect the positioning member to the hearing device.
A hearing device adapted to be positioned in an ear canal of a user, the hearing device comprising,
- a receiver unit, and
- a positioning member adapted to position and hold the hearing device in the ear canal of the user,
- wherein the receiver unit is moveably arranged relative to the positioning member so that receiver unit induced vibrations are essentially not transferred to the positioning member,
- the hearing device further comprising a stem secured to the positioning member, the stem including a number of inwardly directed projections integrated therewith and/or attached thereto, the stem being moveably arranged relative to a spout/nozzle of the receiver unit so that the positioning member and the stem are displaceable along longitudinal movements relative to the spout/nozzle, the inwardly directed projections engaging a number of mechanical stop members of the spout/nozzle of the receiver unit in order to limit movements of the stem relative to the receiver unit responsive to the receiver unit induced vibrations.
