摘要:
In the shaping of the sound channel (3) of a hearing aid by placing a non-shaped tube in a curving mold (1) and heating the mold (plus the contained tube) so that after cooling the tube permanently takes the shape of the mold, the mold is obtained using a rapid prototyping procedure.
权利要求:
1. Method for moulding a sound canal (3) of a hearing device characterised by - inserting an unmolded tube into a bending mould (1), - applying heat to the bending mould (1), including the inserted tube, such that after cooling the tube permanently assumes the shape predetermined for the sound canal by the bending mould, and - generation of the bending mould (1) for the sound canal (3) with the aid of a rapid-prototyping method, wherein, - to generate the bending mould (1), a 3D model that describes a geometric shape of a sound canal (3) is provided with at least one optional parameter and is parameterized in a suitable manner.
2. Method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one parameter is the diameter or the length of the tube.
3. Method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the prototyping method is a stereo-lithographic method.
4. Method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the tube for connecting a behind-the-ear hearing instrument is fashioned with an earmold.
5. Method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the tube is fashioned for use as a piece of tube within a hearing instrument.
