Abstract:
In a hearing aid ( 26 ) that can be inserted into the ear canal ( 12 ) of a patient, comprising an actuator ( 31 ) effecting a mechanical stimulation of the tympanic membrane ( 14 ), the actuator ( 31 ) comprises an inner surface ( 32 ) associated with the tympanic membrane ( 14 ) and an outer surface ( 42 ) associated with the ear canal ( 12 ) and is configured as an areal disk actuator, whose deformation stimulates the tympanic membrane ( 14 ) by areal deformation. On the actuator ( 31 ) at a distance from the outer surface ( 42 ) a cover plate ( 43 ) is arranged which together with the outer surface ( 42 ) delimits a preferably lenticular cavity ( 48 ).

Claim (Index 24):
The hearing aid of  claim 22 , wherein the actuator is configured to transmit the areal deformation to the tympanic membrane based on a surface tension in a boundary layer between the inner surface of the actuator and the tympanic membrane.
