Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A hearing device includes a housing having an assembly opening and a housing cap for closing the assembly opening. The hearing device also includes a signal processing unit disposed in the housing and a sealing body for sealing the housing against the ingress of contaminants. Additionally, the hearing device includes an antenna body for wireless signal transmission with a separate device. This antenna body is embedded in the sealing body.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A hearing device, comprising: a housing having an assembly opening and a housing cap for closing said assembly opening; a signal processing unit disposed in said housing; a sealing body for sealing said housing against an ingress of contaminants; and an antenna body for wireless communication with a separate device, said antenna body being embedded in said sealing body. 2 . The hearing device according to claim 1 , wherein said antenna body has a two-dimensional, film-shaped structure. 3 . The hearing device according to claim 1 , wherein said antenna body is molded-over with a plastic forming said sealing body. 4 . The hearing device according to claim 3 , wherein said plastic is an elastomer. 5 . The hearing device according to claim 1 , wherein said sealing body is formed as a half-shell permitting said sealing body, in an intended assembled state, to at least partly cover said signal processing unit as a hood. 6 . The hearing device according to claim 1 , wherein said antenna body has an exposed contact section placing said antenna body in contact with said signal processing unit through a solder joint. 7 . The hearing device according to claim 1 , which further comprises at least one microphone for capturing acoustic signals, said sealing body having at least one damping section for elastically supporting said at least one microphone against said housing. 8 . The hearing device according to claim 7 , wherein said housing has at least one microphone opening corresponding to said at least one microphone, and said sealing body has at least one perforation, in a vicinity of said at least one damping section, corresponding to said at least one microphone opening in an intended assembled state. 9 . The hearing device according to claim 8 , wherein said at least one perforation contains a barrier element, in a reversibly insertable form, for protecting said at least one microphone against moisture.
