Embodiment Construction

[0027] FIG. 1 shows a view of the region of a base plate 1 of an ear canal hearing aid having an externally actuatable rotary regulator 2 or operating element in the form of a potentiometer. This operating element 2 comprises, for example, a potentiometer, which is connected to the other electronic components of the hearing aid via a connecting litz wire 3, as can be seen from the view from the underside or inside of the base plate 1 in FIG. 2 .

[0028] According to the invention, for fastening the operating element 2 to the base plate 1, a sleeve 4 is provided which surrounds the lower region 2' of the operating element 2. A recess or opening 5 is formed on the base plate 1 into which the sleeve 4 and the operating element 2 can be pushed together. The sleeve 4 can advantageously be made of plastic, but metal is also conceivable.

[0029] 3 shows a plan view of the base plate 1 of the hearing aid, with the sleeve 4 inserted into the opening 5 and the operating element 2 out...

Abstract

The fastening device holds and connects operating elements (2) to the base plate (1) of the hearing aid or hearing aid devices. The operating elements (2) have terminals for electrical connection to further electric or electronic components of the hearing aid or hearing aid devices. The fastening device has a sleeve (4) which has a slit (4') extending from one end of the sleeve to the other. Thereby, the sleeve (4) can be pushed into the area of related operating elements (2) from outside, on the other hand, the sleeve can be pushed into a notch (5) in the substrate (1) having defined size corresponding to the external size of the sleeve (4). The sleeve (4) or the operating elements (2) can be advantageously removed and pulled out from the notch (5) by conquering the clamping function.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fastening device according to the preamble of claim 1 , a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 9 , and a method according to the preamble of claim 10 . Background technique [0002] Hearing aids or hearing aids usually have externally operable operating elements, such as switches, rotary controls and buttons. These operating elements must be actuated during operation, so for example in the case of in-the-ear hearing aids, that is to say hearing aids or hearing aids which are used in the ear canal during operation, the operating elements are arranged on the base plate or on the front panel. The operating element must be electrically conductively connected to the hearing aid or to the electronics or electronic components of the hearing aid, generally via wires or stranded wires. [0003] Because the bottom plate is generally customized for each user, the return rate of this hearing aid or hearing aid is very high, an...
