Abstract (en)

[origin: US4953215A] In an arrangement to prevent the intrusion of foreign matter into a transducer which extends with a projection provided with an opening into a sound channel of a hearing aid, a reduced need for space as well as simpler construction, compared with the state of the art, are achieved by means of the following characterizing features: A membrane made of pore-free material is provided, which has at least one bore for the passage of sound of from a few hundredths to a few tenths of a millimeter diameter, and in which the wall thickness of the membrane is small with respect to the diameter of the bore.
