Abstract:
The invention relates to the field of hearing aids and earphones. More specifically, the invention relates to a universal adapter for earphones and hearing aids worn in the ear.
The universal adapter serves for the introduction of amplified sound of a hearing aid or earphone into the auditory canal, wherein the adapter has trapezoidal hollow segments (5) which are arranged separate from one another, with their side walls (15) that radially decrease from the dorsal to the proximal side, along a centrally arranged locking nipple (2) which serves to receive a sound outlet connector of the hearing aid. The hollow segments (5) are connected with the proximal ends (14) of the contact surfaces (1) to a proximal end (6) of the locking nipple (2). The adapter has the shape of a shortened ellipsoidal body. It can automatically adapt to the shape of the auditory canal.
