Embodiment Construction

[0063] The detailed description set forth below in connection with the accompanying drawings serves as a description of a number of different configurations. The detailed description includes specific details to provide a thorough understanding of various concepts. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. Several aspects of the apparatus and methods are described in terms of a number of different blocks, functional units, modules, elements. Depending on the particular application, design constraints, or other reasons, these elements may be implemented using electronic hardware, computer programs or any combination thereof.

[0064] A hearing device may comprise a hearing aid adapted to improve or enhance a user's hearing capabilities by receiving an acoustic signal from the user's environment, generating a corresponding audio signal, possibly modifying the audio signal, and presenting the poss...

Abstract

The invention discloses a hearing aid battery drawer with a thin film. The hearing aid according to embodiments of the disclosure comprises a housing having an outer structure and a battery drawer configured to receive a battery and to be inserted into the housing from the outer structure of the housing. In more detail, the battery drawer comprises a cover and a surrounding structure where the surrounding structure is attached to the cover. Furthermore, the surrounding structure is configured to at least partly surround the battery and the surrounding structure is configured as a film member made in a flexible and / or bendable material, wherein the battery drawer is configured to receive the battery in said surrounding structure. In this way, the battery drawer is configured so that said battery drawer upon a user of the hearing aid gripping and pulling or pushing the cover, the battery drawer is configured to be inserted into or taken out from the housing, wherein the direction of insertion of the battery drawer is substantially perpendicular to said surface of said outer structure of said housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hearing device with a battery drawer. More particularly, the present invention relates to hearing devices such as hearing aids having a battery drawer of reduced size. Background technique [0002] The outer dimensions of a hearing device intended to be located in the user's ear canal are limited by the geometry of the ear canal. Therefore, the outer dimensions of the hearing device are very important. It is important to ensure that no hearing device components are introduced that risk damaging the ear canal wall. [0003] Therefore, more and more efforts are being made on the design of hearing device housings. Several attempts have been made to minimize the outer dimensions of the housing components. One component that takes up a lot of space is batteries and battery drawers. [0004] Typically, the battery drawer is hinged to the housing, eg in in-the-canal (CIC) and / or in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids, such that the pane...
