Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009074360A1] Since shells are frequently manufactured using an RSM method and battery flaps are injection-molded for hearing devices and in particular for hearing aids, problems frequently arise due to the varying error tolerances of the two methods when the battery compartment is locked into position on the shell. For this reason a hearing device with a shell (16), which has a battery opening (20) and a battery flap (10), which is injection-molded from plastic, is proposed for closing the battery opening (20). The hearing device also has a module (14) which is likewise injection-molded from plastic, on which the battery flap (10) is pivotably supported and which has a detent mechanism (17) via which the battery flap (10) locks into place detachably in a closed position to prevent a pivot movement. Since the injection-molded battery flap (10) locks into position with the injection-molded module (14), the error tolerances of the shell (16), often produced by an RSM method, play no part.
