Abstract
A loudspeaker system for a hearing device to be worn in the ear has a loudspeaker with a housing, which has a sound exit opening that is arranged in a coupling surface of the housing. The loudspeaker system additionally has an antenna body, which has a carrier plate formed with a sound passage opening, a carrier sleeve rigidly connected to the carrier plate and fluidically connected to its sound passage opening, and an antenna coil wound around the carrier sleeve. Furthermore, the loudspeaker system has a damping body made of a yielding material, by way of which the loudspeaker is coupled using its coupling surface with the carrier plate of the antenna body.
Claims11
A loudspeaker system for a hearing device to be worn in an ear, comprising:
- a loudspeaker having a housing with a coupling surface and a sound exit opening formed in said coupling surface of said housing;
- an antenna body having a carrier plate formed with a sound passage opening, a carrier sleeve rigidly connected to said carrier plate and fluidically connected to said sound passage opening, and an antenna coil wound around said carrier sleeve;
- and
- a damping body made of a yielding material, said damping body connecting said loudspeaker by way of said coupling surface of said housing with said carrier plate of said antenna body;
- and
- wherein at least one of a material thickness or a shear modulus of said damping body is selected such that, with reference to a specified falling height, which relates to a height of a person wearing the hearing device, and a specified maximum acceleration for the loudspeaker, said damping body provides for a sufficient braking path.
