Abstract: A hearing aid having a battery door seal that substantially reduces or eliminates unwanted air flow from and into a battery compartment is provided . Eliminating unwanted air flow removes a potential source of acoustic feedbac k and provides significant improvement in frequency response of the hearing aid. T he hearing aid includes a battery compartment with sidewalls that have a step joint formed between an opening in a faceplate to the battery compartment and a substantially flat portion of the sidewalls. The battery door has a lip that sets on the step joint when the battery door closes providing an air seal around a substantial portion of the battery compartment. A thin slit is provided between the faceplate and the battery door behind the end of the battery door, where the battery door is connected to the faceplate by a hinge to provide appropriate air flow for proper battery operation.

Abstract: A hearing aid that compensates for a patient's hearing deficit in a gradual ly progressing fashion. The hearing aid may be programmed to successively selec t in a defined sequence a parameter set that defines at least one operating characteristic of the signal processing circuit from a group of such parameter sets. The defined sequence may end in a parameter set that optimally compensates the patient's hearing.

Abstract: A step joint (150) forms a ridge between the opening in the faceplate (110) and flat portion (140) of the sidewalls to couple with the flat portion of the sidewalls. A lip (170) protruding from the surface of the battery door (130) sets into the ridge to provide a air seal around battery compartment when the battery door is closed. An independent claim is also included for method for housing battery in hearing aid.

Abstract: A hearing aid is provided with a switch that automatically, non-manuall y switches at least one of inputs, filters, or programmable parameters in the presence of a magnetic field. The magnetic field can be generated by a magnet in a telepho ne handset. The hearing aid further is programmed based on time-varying characteristics of the magnetic field. Wireless activation or deactivation of the hearing aid is also described. A magnetic field dependant switch turns the hearing aid on or off.
