Abstract
A cable for a hearing device is provided. The hearing device may have an in-the-canal part with a receiver and a behind-the-ear part with an electronic module. The cable may be adapted to connect the in-the-canal part and the behind-the-ear part. The cable may be a flexible printed circuit board having a plurality of conductor tracks. An end of the flexible printed circuit board is populated with at least one of a sensor, an LED and a push button.
Claims13
A cable for a hearing device, the hearing device comprising an in-the-canal part with a receiver and a behind-the-ear part with an electronic module, wherein the cable is adapted to connect the in-the-canal part and the behind-the-ear part, wherein the cable is configured as or comprises a flexible printed circuit board having a plurality of conductor tracks, wherein an end of the flexible printed circuit board is populated with at least one of a sensor, an LED and a push button,
- wherein said cable comprises an electrical insulation formed by one of
- cable extrusion,
- embedding in a cast and
- encapsulating within at least two plastic parts which are connected to each other by gluing or ultrasonic welding,
- wherein a plastically deformable wire is embedded in the insulation,
- wherein the electrical insulation is integrally formed with at least one pull relief at at least one end of the flexible printed circuit board, the pull relief being configured to be mechanically fixed to the in-the-canal part or the behind-the-ear part.
