Abstract
An essentially parallelepiped-shaped housing has a slide at which there is formed a drawer-like constructed compartment for the reception of a current source. In the closed position of the slide such coincides with one of the base surfaces of the housing. During the course of an opening movement the slide initially frees the compartment, and thereafter, during a further opening movement, frees access openings for adjustment or tuning elements or the like located at the side of the housing body dispositioned opposite the compartment. Operatively associated with the first opening step for freeing the compartment are stops over which there can travel the slide. Equally, stops are operatively associated with the slide for the further opening step for freeing the access openings.

A pocket hearing aid comprising:
- a housing;
- a slide slidably mounted in said housing;
- said housing having a compartment for receiving a current source and being movable between an open position and a closed position;
- said housing being provided with access opening means by means of which there are accessible adjustment elements of an electrical means of the pocket hearing device;
- said access opening means being capable of being covered by said slide;
- said slide being substantially of drawer-like construction and containing said compartment;
- said housing having side surfaces;
- said compartment having an outer wall constituting a side surface of the housing;
- said slide, when in its closed position, constituting at least part of a base surface of the housing;
- said slide being movable transversely with respect to said side surface;
- said slide during the course of its opening movement initially freeing said compartment and thereafter when assuming a further opening movement freeing the access opening means.
