Fish & Game now taking entries for moose lottery
CONCORD — New Hampshire's 2015 moose hunt lottery is now open. Enter today to try your luck on the adventure of a lifetime -- hunting moose in the rugged woods of the Granite State. Entering the lottery costs $15 for New Hampshire residents and $25 for nonresidents.
To enter the N.H. moose hunt lottery, visit http://www.huntnh.com/Hunting/Hunt_species/hunt_moose.htm, where you can enter online or print out a mail-in application, or buy one in person from any Fish and Game license agent or at Fish and Game headquarters in Concord. Moose hunt lottery applications for 2015 must be postmarked or submitted online by midnight Eastern Time on May 29, 2015, or delivered to the Licensing office at Fish and Game headquarters in Concord before 4:00 p.m. that day. Winners will be selected through a computerized random drawing on June 19, at the NH Fish and Game Department in Concord.
Each applicant can enter the moose hunt lottery once a year. A bonus point system improves the chances for unsuccessful applicants who apply each consecutive year. For example, last year the overall odds of a resident applicant being drawn were 1 in 59, while resident applicants with a total of 11 points had a 1 in 28 chance of being drawn. For nonresidents, the odds increased from 1 in 221 overall to 1 in 106 for applicants with 11 points.
Last year (2014), more than 10,000 people entered the lottery for the chance to win one of 124 permits. More than 1,400 people continued to accrue bonus points because they submitted an application for a point only. Hunters from eight different states won permits in the lottery.
While people travel from all over the country to take part in the New Hampshire moose hunt, the majority of permits (about 85%) go to New Hampshire residents. The number of permits available to nonresidents is capped, based on the prior year's sales of nonresident hunting licenses.
The exact number of moose hunt permits that will be offered for this fall's hunt has not yet been determined. Because of the continued decline in moose numbers in some areas, permit reductions are possible in parts of the state, according to Wildlife Programs Supervisor Kent Gustafson. If needed, permit allocation proposals for 2015 will be developed through the state's formal rulemaking process.
While permit numbers may be reduced in 2015, your chance of being drawn and offered a permit in the lottery will be improved if you rank all wildlife management units on your application, Gustafson noted. You will have the option to decline a permit if drawn for a unit you prefer not to hunt.
New Hampshire's nine-day moose hunt starts the third Saturday in October. This year's hunt runs from October 17-25, 2015.
New Hampshire has had an annual moose hunt since 1988, when 75 permits were issued for a three-day hunt in the North Country. The state's current moose population is estimated at about 4,000 animals. The availability of moose hunting permits, with some issued for every area of the state, is made possible by careful management of moose populations. The resulting annual harvest of moose helps to regulate moose numbers, provides valuable information on the physical condition of moose and provides a unique recreational opportunity.

The Padres will determine this week if relief pitcher Dale Thayer will need a second Minor League rehabilitation outing or if he'll be reinstated from the disabled list.
7/5/2015 | Lynn and Pham lead Cardinals over Padres
Behind the bats of their starting pitcher and most recent callup, the Cardinals salvaged a series split with a 3-1 victory over the Padres at Busch Stadium on Sunday. Offense was at a premium throughout the four-game series, as the two teams combined for just 18 runs.
7/5/2015 | Shields, Burnett to open three-game series
There's nothing like home cooking, but the Padres have certainly made themselves downright comfortable playing the Pirates at PNC Park. The Pirates will send veteran A.J. Burnett to the mound in the first game of the three-game series. The Padres will counter with James Shields.
7/4/2015 | Despaigne makes himself at home in St. Louis
For someone with such a dramatic disparity in his home-road splits, Odrisamer Despaigne found success Saturday seldom seen away from his home ballpark in San Diego.
7/4/2015 | Padres, Cards vie for finale behind Kennedy, Lynn
The Padres will try to put the finishing touches on a successful start to their 10-game road trip, while the Major League-best Cardinals aim to forge a series split when the two teams close out a four-game series at Busch Stadium on Sunday.
7/4/2015 | Pham fuels Cards' skid-busting win vs. Padres
The Cardinals' offense didn't exactly break out on Saturday, but it did enough to snap a season-long four-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Padres in front of a sellout crowd at Busch Stadium.
7/4/2015 | Norris playing with shoulder sprain after collision
Padres catcher Derek Norris suffered an AC sprain of his left shoulder during Friday's 2-1 win over the Cardinals, though he was back in the lineup on Saturday. "He was adamant about being in there," said Padres interim manager Pat Murphy.
7/4/2015 | ICYMI: Gyorko, Cashner step up in win over Cards
Sometimes in baseball the right thing happens at the right time in such a way that it seems as though the game repeats itself on a regular basis. Enter Padres second baseman, Jedd Gyorko.
7/4/2015 | Rea struggles in his Triple-A debut
7/4/2015 | Alonso in lead-off slot makes perfect sense when you look at the numbers
From reading my emails and twitter responses, a lot of Padres fans were stunned Friday when they read the starting lineup with first baseman Yonder Alonso hitting in the lead-off spot for the first time in his Major League career.
7/4/2015 | Gyorko finds time in Triple-A well spent
Last week, Jedd Gyorko was playing for Triple-A El Paso, trying to remedy the offensive struggles that led to his demotion. On Friday, three days after he returned, he put a few things he's been working on to good use in a 2-1 victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
7/3/2015 | Despaigne, Martinez get Independence Day nods
The Cardinals and Padres commemorate Independence Day at Busch Stadium with an afternoon game pitting St. Louis, the team with baseball's best record, against a San Diego squad still searching for its footing before the All-Star break.

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 2/23/13
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -- Before he walked out to the mound, John Lackey paused for a moment and thought about all the rehabilitation he went through in order to take this next step. "I kind of took a second," the Red Sox pitcher said, "and reflected on the past year and a half. It's been a lot of work and (I've) got to thank a lot of trainers, a lot of people that helped me get back to this point. I was excited to be back out there." Lackey returned to the mound Saturday after missing last season following elbow surgery. He got off to a difficult start but worked out of a bases-loaded jam, allowing one run in one inning as a split squad of Tampa Bay Rays beat Boston 4-3. "(I was) excited. It was fun. I missed playing baseball, for sure," Lackey said. "It was good to be back out there. Arm felt fine. I didn't feel any pain in the elbow. So, just keep moving forward." Lackey had Tommy John surgery after the 2011 season. Tampa Bay loaded the bases against the right-hander with no o...

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 8/18/13
All of a sudden, I've been reading with head-scratching confusion how several bloggers are suggesting the New York Mets trade Wilmer Flores. Why? What good would it serve other than just giving away a prospect? What could they possibly get for him now? Their confused reasoning is since the Mets have few position player prospects they should trade their best one for another. Yup, makes sense to me. Flores has been with the Mets for just a handful of games, too small a window to ascertain his true potential, and also way too tiny for another team to figure out what to do with him or how he could fit into their plans. The reason the Mets are having a hard time figuring out what to do with him, and only brought him up because of David Wright's strained hamstring, is because they don't know where to play him because he doesn't have a true position aside from second base which is already occupied. Wright will be our third baseman for much of the next decade; supposedly he doesn't have the...

post #317 of 5291/5/14 at 9:51pmHaving a bit of an issue breaking in my new CP Vintage Lo's. They somehow (on my left foot) press down hard on part of my big toe whenever I walk, I think due to the leather in the toe cap folding and pressing down. Will this soften with time? It's extremely uncomfortable and quite painful, to the point where I don't actually I think I can wear them out at the moment.post #318 of 5291/5/14 at 11:42pm

Can anyone confirm that I am a 41EUR? Judging from some member's sizing advices, I feel more like 42EUR instead as I have relatively wider feet. Thanks for your help.post #324 of 5291/9/14 at 7:48pmpost #325 of 5291/9/14 at 8:01pmpost #326 of 5291/10/14 at 12:43pmQuote:
you're talking about the derbies not achilles right? I dont know how the derbies fit compared to achilles but I'm a US 9/9.5 in most sneakers (9 in vans, 9 in red wings, 9.5 adidas, 9.5/10 nike) and 42 achilles fit me perfectly. I don't have wide feet either. A lot of people on here seem to agree to size down on cps but theres also a lot of us who just go tts and it works fine. Please let us know how the derbies fit!

What? Now, I'm confused. Anyone else can compare to Derby to Archille in terms of sizing?
@Roygbivuxg, in what Red Wing are you a US9? I'm a US8.5 in moc toe & a US9 in plain toe though.
What about Nike? I'm a US9.5 in dunk(comfortable) and airmax(fitted). Thanks a lot for your help.post #328 of 5291/10/14 at 5:28pmpost #329 of 5291/10/14 at 9:39pm

I've probably said this a few times in this thread, but in relation to the sneakers, it all depends.
Padded models vs non padded models + foot width.
Yes, the rule seems to be to size down 1, however if you have wide feet, I do not recommend this.
IMO, the same goes for the padded models like the Vintage.
For example, in the Tournament Low's (which are suede and not padded), I can wear a 41.
In the latest vintage models (and any others which are padded), I need a 42.
I wear a US9 generally, 8.5D Barrie and UK8 in dress shoes.post #330 of 5291/10/14 at 9:47pm

Anyone happen to know where I can find a pair of regular black mids in 41 inclusive of any sort of discount? These seem to sell out quickly, even at retail, so not getting my hopes up.

OFBF recognized by poultry industry
Buckeye Farm News
OFBF recently received the Ohio Poultry Partner Award for its longtime support of the state's egg, turkey and chicken industries.
OFBF was selected by the Ohio Poultry Association's Executive Committee and was presented with the award during the association's annual banquet, where others were also recognized for their service.
"While we cannot honor every person or business, I am proud to work side by side with these individuals, who every day provide consumers in Ohio and across the United States with safe, wholesome, nutritious eggs, chicken and turkey," said OPA Executive Director Jim Chakeres of the association's award recipients.
Ohio ranks No. 2 in the nation in egg production behind Iowa and produces more than 7 billion eggs per year with a retail value of more than $483 million. Ohio is also 11th in the nation for turkey production and produces almost 274 million pounds of Ohio chicken annually. More than 5,000 people are employed in the poultry industry, with payrolls of more than $50 million.

"Superb accommodation with excellent service standards"
We used Craven House apartments for a pre-wedding get together with siblings and parents of the bride and for the wedding preparations and departure of the bride's family the next day. Lucy was extremely helpful and efficient when we needed to book at short notice and had the 3 apartments ready and in pristine condition with a very short turn-around time. The quality of the accommodation and the facilities in the lower and upper garden suites are superb, and the studio was a perfect self-contained den for an extra unexpected guest for the evening. It provided us with a perfect base for a very special occasion. It would provide a great touring base for London and the Home Counties and is close to good restaurants, a direct train into Waterloo and access to the River Thames. Bushy Park is your back garden!

"A calm oasis on the doorstep of London"
Craven House was a base for a group of workshop attendees, and we couldn't have wished for a more beautiful setting. Such a great location, with great links to central London, and yet in a calm oasis with the beautiful Bushy Park just outside the window.

My wife and I were lucky enough to score tickets to see The Replacements this past weekend in Milwaukee; neither of us had ever seen them back in the day and both of us were fans. And they were, as expected, amazing; Paul Westerburg's voice still sounds incredible and the band was tight.
But today, while doing an interview – I'll post info about it when it turns up – I realized something about even going to concerts that sucks these days: my wife can't sing to me when we're in public and use her full range; instead, it makes me nervous when she drops below a certain register instead of it making me happy. We can't hold each other or kiss, much less make out, for fear of our own safety. I worry that she doesn't have much of a spideysense for that too-drunk dude next to her who has started to stare at her or me or worse still, us, in that disconcerting too-drunk dude sort of way.
Mostly, though, what upsets me is the thinking about it. Yes, we both want to say to hell with all of it so she can sing anyway and we can make out where we want to and ignore too-drunk dudes because they are idiots. We want to be awesomely brave, progressive, proud queers who don't give a shit.
But we're not.
And we know straight people don't entirely get it; as I've said many times, I thought, as an LGBTQ ally, that I understood, but I didn't. Yet a lot of same sex couples don't get it either because they haven't lived on the heteronormative side of the fence or haven't for a very long time. Our heterosexual past, as it were, is always present; that guy I met, our ability to make out in public, it all happened, and with each other, and not very long ago. So we find ourselves between the demanding ethics of LGBTQ* politics and well-intentioned but clueless straight people.
What I resent, mostly, is that a simple urge to kiss my partner because she is smiling so hugely because oh wow we're watching the goddamned Replacements, I wind up in my head thinking about what to do or how to do it and then getting angry that I have to think about it at all, feeling guilty, talking myself out of feeling guilty, coming up with another (non verbal) way to tell her I'm happy she's happy, and by then I'm noticing too-drunk dude who is listing creepily in our direction and the whole thing starts all over again.
Mostly we both feel cheated of our lives, of the life we had together, and even though it's no one's fault. there it is.

TO: All NAHB Members
NAHB has been involved in trying to shape this rule since it was first proposed in April 2014, and urged significant changes to make it more workable. Despite some minor improvements, the final rule is so extreme that the federal government will actually regulate certain roadside ditches, isolated ponds, and channels that may flow only after a heavy rainfall.
Such intrusive federal encroachment will inevitably lead to bureaucratic delays, increased project costs and mitigation fees, and decreased housing affordability.
The lawsuit notes that the rule goes well beyond Congress' original intent when it enacted the Clean Water Act and ignores the jurisdictional limits already set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court.
NAHB has also been working to engage legislators on this rule. With bipartisan support, the House recently approved H.R. 1732, the Regulatory Integrity Protection Act, which would require EPA and the Corps to withdraw their rule and develop a new plan in consultation with state and local governments and other affected stakeholders, including small businesses.
NAHB is urging the Senate to pass companion legislation, S. 1140, the Federal Water Quality Protection Act.
NAHB was joined in the suit by other business and agricultural organizations, including: the American Farm Bureau Federation; the National Association of Manufacturers; the American Road and Transportation Builders Association; the American Petroleum Institute; the Leading Builders of America; the National Alliance of Forest Owners; the National Cattlemen's Beef Association; the National Corn Growers Association; the National Mining Association; the National Pork Producers; and the Public Lands Council.

An ear wax barrier for an in-the-ear or in-the-canal type hearing aid device positioned at least in part between a receiver output port and a shell acoustic output port includes a substantially cylindrical housing having a barbed portion for press-fitting the barrier into position. The barrier may include a screen and/or a plurality of undulations, such as a thread internal thereto for providing wax accumulation sites to retard the migration of wax into the hearing aid. The barrier is more easily inserted than removed.
1. A hearing aid with a removable ear wax barrier comprising:
a shell for insertion, at least in part, in the ear of a user, the shell including an acoustic output port;
a receiver positioned within the shell, wherein the receiver includes a receiver output port;
a thin walled receiver tube which extends between the receiver output port and the acoustic output port;
said removable ear wax barrier having a cylindrical body with first and second ends and an acoustic channel therebetween with a coupling barb carried at one end of the body surrounding the channel wherein the barb is adapted to be slidably inserted, without rotation, into the receiver tube adjacent to the acoustic output port wherein the barb continuously engages the tube with a press fit when so inserted, and wherein the body is not displaced from the receiver tube by rotation.
2. A hearing aid as in claim 1 wherein a portion of the barb is in contact with and compresses an adjacent region of the tube when the body is inserted.
3. A hearing aid as in claim 1 wherein the barb includes a retaining surface which extends radially from and substantially perpendicular to the body between the two ends with a tapered annular surface which extends therefrom toward the one end and wherein the portion of the barb adjacent to the intersection of the two surfaces deforms the tube when the barb is inserted therein.
4. A hearing aid as in claim 1 wherein the barb is configured such that it is easier to insert than to remove.
5. A hearing aid as in claim 1 wherein the second end of the body carries a radially extending shoulder which is adapted to abut the shell after the barb engages the tube.
This invention pertains to ear wax barriers for hearing aids. More particularly, this invention pertains to press-fit ear wax barriers for in-the-ear and in-the-canal type hearing aids.
In-the-ear and in-the-canal type hearing aids have become accepted by the hearing impaired public for their small size, ease of use and relative comfort, as compared to older style hearing aids. Many of the in-the-ear and in-the-canal type devices include a shell which is designed to fit in the ear or ear canal of the user.
The shell may hold the electronic circuitry, a microphone, and a receiver. The microphone receives sound signals from outside of the device and responsively creates an electronic signal. The signal may be sent to an amplifying circuit which supplies a signal to the receiver. The receiver in turn, provides audio output to the ear.
Typically, in the in-the-ear and in-the-canal type devices, sound travels from an output port of the receiver, through a sound channel, and out of the device through an acoustical output port in the hearing aid shell. The sound may then travel through the user's ear and cause the tympanic membrane to vibrate.
The ears secrete a substance known as cerumen or ear wax. While ear wax cleans the internal structure of the ear, it also tends to flow into the sound channel and receiver of a hearing aid located in the ear. Ear wax which migrates into a hearing aid can degrade the effectiveness of the device and can eventually cause the device to fail.
A number of barrier products are presently available to prevent or reduce the migration of ear wax into a hearing aid. One such barrier design uses a fine mesh screen in the sound channel between the receiver and acoustical output port of the shell. While such a barrier reduces the migration of ear wax into the hearing aid, it suffers from the possibility of becoming clogged with wax.
More recently, barrier systems have been introduced which include a housing which threadedly interconnects the output port of the receiver and the acoustic port of the shell. The housing threads into a portion of the shell. The housing has an interior surface which includes projections extending inwardly thereof, creating a tortuous path for solid or semi-liquid ear wax migrating therethrough.
Such devices are disclosed in Weiss, U.S. Pat. No. 4,870,689, entitled "Ear Wax Barrier For A Hearing Aid" and Weiss et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,972,488, entitled "Ear Wax Barrier And Acoustic Attenuator For A Hearing Aid," both of which patents are commonly assigned herewith, and both of which patents are hereby incorporated by reference.
In the devices disclosed in the Weiss and Weiss et al. patents, the barrier is incorporated into a housing, which has projections extending inward of the housing. The barrier is then threaded into the hearing aid shell. This design was a significant improvement over devices prior thereto.
Nevertheless, threading the barrier to the hearing aid requires additional mechanical components or alteration of the shell to effect the attachment.
Thus, there continues to be a need for hearing aid ear wax barriers which are easily inserted and removed without additional mechanical components and/or shell alterations. Preferably, such barriers would also provide an effective configuration for preventing the migration of ear wax into the hearing aid.
A press-fit ear wax barrier is provided for use with in-the-ear or in-the-canal type hearing aids. The hearing aid includes a shell with an acoustical output port and a receiver having a receiver output port positioned within the shell.
The barrier includes a housing which is adapted to be received at least partially intermediate the acoustical output port and the receiver output port. The housing includes a central acoustical passageway linking the acoustical output port and the receiver output port.
A mesh barrier element can be carried by the housing to impede the flow of ear wax into the acoustic passageway. Alternately, a plurality of undulations may extend inwardly of, and cooperate to occlude wax movement through, the acoustical passageway.
The undulations define traps or wax accumulation sites within the barrier. The accumulation sites retard migration of ear wax into the hearing aid.
The barrier also includes an exterior wall surface which has a substantially cylindrical portion having a predetermined diameter. A frusto-conical barb is located on an exterior end of the housing. The barb has a base area diameter which is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical portion. The barb permits press-fitting the barrier into a position at least partially intermediate the acoustical output port and the receiver output port.
In another aspect of the invention, the barrier undulations can be formed by a thread within the central acoustical passageway. The thread may be continuous or may be formed in discrete sections.
In one embodiment, the barrier includes a collar portion having a diameter greater than the diameter of the cylindrical portion to prevent over-insertion of the barrier. The collar portion may include a recessed area for receiving, for example, an attenuator screen.
In another embodiment, the housing serves as a press-fit connector to releasably couple, for example, the receiver output port to a receiver tube or channel, positioned between the receiver and the hearing aid shell. A press-fit wax guard of the type described above can be used in combination with the releasable receiver connector.
In yet another aspect of the invention, the structure can also function as an acoustic attenuator.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.

FIG. 16 illustrates an embodiment of a modular hearing aid with a press-fit connector in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
While the present invention is susceptible of embodiment in various forms, there is shown in the drawings and will hereinafter be described preferred embodiments with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiments illustrated.
FIG. 1 illustrates an in-the-ear type hearing aid 10 positioned in the ear canal C of a user. It will be understood that the following comments also apply to in-the-canal type hearing aids.
As best seen in FIG. 2, the hearing aid 10 includes a shell 12, which supports or encloses a microphone 14, amplification circuitry (not shown) and a receiver 16.
The shell 12 and receiver 16 each include an acoustic output port 18 and 20, respectively. In a typical arrangement, sounds from outside of the hearing aid 10 are received at the microphone 14. The microphone 14 converts the sound into an electrical signal which is amplified in the amplification circuitry.
A responsive electrical signal is transmitted by the amplification circuitry to the receiver 16 which, in turn, creates an audio output. The audio output is transmitted from the receiver output port 20, via a receiver tube or channel 22 to the shell output port 18. The sound output may then be received at, and vibrate, the user's tympanic membrane, creating distinguishable sounds.
In one embodiment of the present invention, illustrated in FIG. 3, the receiver tube 22 interconnects the receiver 16 and the shell 12. The tube 22 penetrates the shell 12 at a location of the shell 12 which is positioned in the ear canal C. An ear wax barrier 24 is positioned in the tube 22 at a distal most portion 26 thereof.
Referring now to FIG. 3a, the barrier 24 includes a housing 30, a collar portion 32, and a barb 34. The housing 30 is cylindrical and includes a substantially cylindrical, central acoustical passageway 36 therethrough. The passageway provides acoustical communication between the receiver output port 20 and the shell output port 18.
The collar 32 which is located at a distal end 38 of the housing 30 has a larger diameter than the housing 30. The collar 32 prevents over-insertion of the barrier 24 into the tube 22. The collar may also include a recessed, preferably circular area, shown generally at 40, for receiving, for example, a barrier screen 42. In an alternate configuration, a barrier screen 42' may be positioned internal to the barrier 24, at a location approximately corresponding to the barb 34.
The size and number of openings in the screens 42, 42' may be varied as would be understood by those of skill in the art. The screens 42, 42' may also function as attenuators.
The barb 34 is located distally of the collar 32, and has a generally frusto-conical shape. The barb 34 surrounds the housing 30 and tapers to a diameter about equal to the inner diameter dI of the housing 30. The widest portion 46 of the barb 34, which is at a base portion 48 thereof, has a diameter dw larger than an outer diameter d0 of the housing 30. A lip 50 is formed at the juncture, shown generally at 52, of the barb's widest portion 46 and the housing 30.
As shown in FIG. 4, the barrier 24 can be readily inserted, or press-fitted, without rotation, into the tube 22, without interference from the barb 34. The barrier 24, however, resists removal or dislodging by the frictional engagement of the lip 50 with the tube 22.
FIGS. 5 and 5a illustrate an alternate embodiment 124 which can function only as a connector or as a connector/barrier. The element 124 is collar-less. In the illustrated configuration, the element 124 is positioned adjacent to the receiver 16. In this arrangement, the element 124 is positioned on the receiver 16 at the receiver output port 20. The element 124 couples the receiver 16 to the receiver tube 22.
The element 124 could be integrally formed as a part of the output port 20, with or without a barrier screen such as 142. Alternately, the element 124 may be glued to the receiver output port 20.
The element 124 is positioned such that the barb 134 is directed away from the receiver 16, into the tube 22. This configuration makes it possible to releasably couple the receiver 16 to the audio output tube 22.
Another arrangement for mounting the element 124, is shown in FIG. 6. In this configuration, the element 124 is positioned in the tube 22 with the barb 134 directed toward the receiver 16. The element 124 can function as an attenuator or a wax guard in this configuration.
However, unlike the arrangement illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 5a, the element 124 shown in FIG. 6 is positioned at an intermediate portion 54 of the tube 22, between the receiver output port 20 and the shell output port 18. In this configuration, the tube 22 is mounted to the receiver 16, by methods which will be readily recognized by those skilled in the art, or as will be described later.
As shown in FIG. 7, the collar-less element 124 can include a recessed area 140 which is adapted to receive, for example, a barrier or attenuator screen 142, or like device. Alternately, a barrier or attenuator screen 142' may be positioned internal to the element 124, at a location approximately corresponding to the barb 134.
FIGS. 8-13 illustrate various embodiments of barriers in accordance with the principles of the present invention. FIG. 8 shows an embodiment 224 of the barrier having a housing 230, a collar portion 232, and a barb 234. The housing 230 defines a substantially cylindrical, central passageway 236 therethrough, which provides acoustical communication between the receiver output port 20 and the shell output port 18.
The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8 includes the recessed area 240 at the collar portion 232, the juncture of which defines a first shoulder 256. A second shoulder 258 is formed internal to the housing 230 at a location which approximately corresponds to the widest portion of the barb 246.
The barrier 224 includes a plurality of undulations, shown as a thread 260, formed in the interior surface 262 thereof. The thread 260 is formed of a root 260a and a crest 260b, and creates a tortuous path for the migration of ear wax into the hearing aid 10. Essentially, the thread 260 defines traps by providing wax accumulation sites along the root 260a and the crest 260b, as well as across the thread 260.
The thread 260 may be formed in a continuous manner; alternately, the thread 260 may be formed in discrete sections. The thread 260 may also be formed as ridges (not shown) along the interior surface 262 of the housing 230.
In a preferred embodiment, the thread 260 extends between the first shoulder 256 and the second shoulder 258. The barrier 224 may also include, as previously discussed, a barrier screen 242. The screen 242 extends across the passageway 236, and may be positioned on either the first or second shoulder 256 or 258, respectively.
An alternate embodiment 324 is shown in FIG. 9. The barrier 324 is similar to that shown in FIG. 8, and includes, a housing 330, a collar portion 332, and a barb 334. The housing 330 defines a substantially cylindrical, central passageway 336 therethrough, which provides acoustical communication between the receiver output port 20 and the shell output port 18.
The embodiment 324 of the barrier illustrated in FIG. 9, includes the shoulder 358 internal to the housing 330, approximately positioned to correspond to the widest portion 346 of the barb 334. A thread 360 similar to that formed in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, extends from about the collar 332 to the shoulder 358.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 9, however, does not include a recessed area at the collar portion 332. Rather, a barrier screen 342, if used, can be positioned across the shoulder 358. Alternately, the screen can be affixed to the barrier, at the proximal end 344 of the housing 330 adjacent to the barb 334.
Another embodiment 424 is illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 10a. In this embodiment, upper and lower projections 464 and 466 extend inwardly of the barrier 424 opposing each other. The projections 464, 466 occlude the passageway 436 creating a tortuous path for the migration of ear wax. The projections 464, 466 terminate in ends 468 and 470, respectively. A rib 474 extends between the terminal ends 468 and 470, and provides additional wax accumulation sites.
FIG. 11 shows an embodiment similar to that shown in FIGS. 10 and 10a. This embodiment of the barrier 524 incorporates a plurality of ribs 574a-c, extending between terminal ends 568 and 570, thus providing further wax accumulation sites.
Still another embodiment 624 is shown in FIG. 12. The barrier 624 includes upper and lower projections 676 and 678, respectively, which extend inwardly of the barrier 624, and which occlude the passageway 636. Each of the projections 676 and 678 includes an upwardly extending flange portion 680, 682, respectively. The projections 676, 678, and flanges 680, 682, define trap means by providing wax accumulation sites 684 and 686, thereon.
Another embodiment 724 is shown in FIG. 13. This embodiment includes a barb 734 and a collar portion 732 on opposing sides of a housing 730. The housing 730 defines an uninterrupted central acoustical passageway 736 therethrough.
The barrier includes a barrier screen 742 positioned internal to the passageway 736, at a location approximately corresponding to the barb 734. In this embodiment of the barrier 724, the screen 742 is curved or formed concave relative to the barb 734. Other curved or non-planar arrangements are also possible.
As shown in FIG. 14, one form 824 of the element may be used as a connector. The connector 824 may be mounted to, for example, a receiver output port 20, such as by gluing.
One end of a receiver tube or channel 22 may be connected to the barbed end 834 of the connector 824 to effect the connection. The other end of the tube 22 may be connected to a barrier (shown at 24) mounted to the tube 22 at the hearing aid shell 12.
FIG. 15 illustrates an alternate configuration. A connector 824 is mounted to the receiver output port 20. One end of the tube or channel 22 is mounted to the connector 824. The other end of the tube 22 is connected to a barrier 24 mounted to the tube 22 at the hearing aid shell 12.
An in-line attenuator 924 is positioned in the tube 22 intermediate the barrier 24 and the connector 824. The attenuator 924 may reduce or eliminate feedback or oscillations, or may smooth the frequency response characteristics in the hearing aid 10 circuitry.
The attenuator 924 may include a perforated member, such as a screen 942. The screen 942 perforations may be varied to produce differing attenuation characteristics.
As shown in FIG. 16, one embodiment 1010 of a modular hearing aid includes a shell 1012 and a modular, removable circuit portion 1014. The circuit portion 1014 includes a mounting plate 1016, which may serve as an outer part of the hearing aid shell 1012. The plate 1016 is attached to the shell 1012 in normal operation.
The mounting plate 1016 may carry a receiver 1018 and amplification circuitry 1019 coupled thereto. A microphone 1020 and a battery 1022 are carried on the plate 1016 and are coupled to the circuitry 1019. The receiver 1018 has a barbed connector 824, such as the connector shown in FIG. 14, attached to a receiver output port 1026.
The shell 1012 includes a tube or channel 1028 mounted thereto. A barrier 1024, exemplary of which is the barrier illustrated in FIG. 3, is mounted to the tube 1028, at the shell 1012.
The modular circuit portion 1014 can be mounted to the shell 1012 with the connector 824 press-fitted to the tube 1028. This configuration permits easy separation of the shell 1012 from the circuit portion 1014 to facilitate maintenance of the hearing aid 1010. This configuration also permits replacement of the circuit portion 1014, without necessarily replacing or manufacturing a custom shell 1012.
Thus, ear wax barriers 24, 124, 224, 324, 424, 524, 624, 724 and 824 are disclosed for use with in-the-ear and in-the-canal type hearing aids 10, 1010. The barriers 24, 124, 224, 324, 424, 524, 624, 724 and 824 are readily adaptable to such hearing aids 10, 1010 without additional mechanical components or alterations in the hearing aid shell. The barriers 24, 124, 224, 324, 424, 524, 624, 724 and 824 resist ear wax migration by providing a tortuous path for solid or semi-liquid ear wax which secretes from the ear canal C and tends to clog or cause failure of such hearing aids 10, 1010.
From the foregoing it will be observed that numerous modifications and variations can be effectuated without departing from the true spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the present invention. It is to be understood that no limitation with respect to the specific embodiments illustrated is intended or should be inferred. The disclosure is intended to cover by the appended claims all such modifications as fall within the scope of the claims.
