Abstract

Der Tragekomfort einer als Massenprodukt konzipierten Hörvorrichtung, insbesondere Hörgerät, soll verbessert werden. Die Hörvorrichtung (10) ist zum Tragen in einer Ohrmuschel (17) vorgesehen. Sie besitzt ein Gehäuse, in dem eine Schallsignalverarbeitungseinrichtung untergebracht ist. Ein Leiter (13) leitet ein akustisches oder elektrisches Signal von dem Gehäuse in einen Gehörgang des Nutzers. Ein Formteil (14), das individuell an einen Teilbereich (16) der Ohrmuschel (17) des Nutzers angepasst zweiteilig mit dem Gehäuse gebildet ist, ist an dem Gehäuse befestigt. Durch das Formteil wird der Druck, der auf angrenzende Partien der Ohrmuschel von dem Hörgerät (10) ausgeübt wird, gleichmäßig verteilt.

The wearing comfort of a mass-produced hearing device, in particular hearing aid, is to be improved. The hearing device (10) is intended to be worn in an auricle (17). It has a housing in which a sound signal processing device is housed. A conductor (13) passes an acoustic or electrical signal from the housing into an auditory canal of the user. A molded part (14), which is individually adapted to a partial region (16) of the user's ear (17) in two parts with the housing, is fastened to the housing. Through the molding, the pressure exerted on adjacent parts of the pinna of the hearing aid (10), evenly distributed.
