Abstract:
An adaptable/adjustable hearing device charging port ( 10 ) for a hearing device charger ( 7 ) that can adapt/adjust in size to accommodate and hold hearing devices ( 2 ) of different sizes and/or shapes. The adjustable hearing device charging port ( 10 ) adapts elastically so that hearing devices ( 2 ) of different sizes can be inserted into the hearing device charging port ( 10 ) and can be hold in a charging position in the hearing device charger ( 7 ), in which charging position hearing device charging contacts ( 6 ) of the hearing device ( 2 ) are electrically contacted with charger contacts ( 8 ) in the hearing device charger ( 7 ).

Claim (Index 15):
A method for positioning hearing devices of different sizes and/or shapes in a hearing device charger, comprising:\n providing an adaptable hearing device charging port comprising a holder comprising an holding outer-wall defining a holding cavity and a holder opening providing access through the holding outer-wall to the holding cavity, wherein the holding outer-wall is configured to be adaptable to accommodate and hold one of hearing devices of different sizes and/or shapes in the holding cavity and wherein the holder opening is smaller than the largest of the cross sectional dimensions (W, D) of the one of the hearing devices of different sizes and/or shapes; receiving at least a part of the one of the hearing devices of different sizes and/or shapes into the holding cavity; elastically adapting the size of the holding cavity to a size of the one of the hearing devices of different sizes; guiding the one of the hearing devices of different sizes and/or shapes to a charging position in the hearing device charger; and elastically coupling the holding outer-wall with the one of the hearing devices of different sizes and/or shapes to hold the one of the hearing devices of different sizes in the charging position.
