Abstract
Manually held external transmitting coils are used for standardized testing of hearing aids by means of a test box. Measurements using the hearing aid telephone coil are therefore cumbersome and difficult. There is therefore proposed a holder module connected both electrically and mechanically to the test box and having a receptacle for holding the hearing aid, a transmitting coil for producing an electromagnetic signal detectable by the hearing aid and with connecting means for electrically connecting the transmitting coil and a coupler connected to the hearing aid during measurement to the test box.

A measuring system for enabling standardized testing of hearing aids, the measuring system comprising:
- a test box having a testing chamber for accommodating a hearing aid, the text box having a plurality of first connectors for establishing electrical connections;
- and
- a carrier module comprising:
- a receptacle for receiving the hearing aid, the hearing aid configured to be connected to a coupling device while testing the hearing aid;
- a transmitting coil for generating an electromagnetic signal configured to be received by the hearing aid;
- and
- a plurality of second connectors for electrically connecting the transmitting coil and the coupling device to the test box via the first connectors.
