Abstract:
A hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid, having a protection system is disclosed. The device includes an input unit for receiving an acoustic signal from a user's surroundings and providing a corresponding audio signal, and an output unit receiving said audio signal and providing an audible signal to the user, where the hearing device further includes a barrier element for protecting elements of the hearing device. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a hearing device inlet system.

Claim (Index 15):
A barrier element for use in a hearing device, said barrier element comprising\n a base part; and a neck part, wherein said neck part at a transition point protrudes from said base part, wherein said base part and said neck part defines an inner channel of said barrier element such that interior sides of said neck part define a portion of said inner channel, wherein the interior sides of said neck part protrude from said base part at a substantially constant first angle of zero or more degrees in relation to a longitudinal centerline of said inner channel, wherein exterior sides of said neck part protrude from said base part at a substantially constant second angle greater than zero degrees in relation to the longitudinal centerline of said inner channel, said second angle being greater than said first angle, wherein the input and/or output unit(s) comprises a sound port exposed to the exterior and/or an interior environment of the hearing device, said inner channel of the barrier element being arranged to substantially surround a circumferential edge of at least a part said sound port while allowing for sound to pass through said inner channel to said sound port.
