Method for manufacturing an ear device and ear device
View Patent ↗A hearing device, which is to be applied to an area of an individual's ear, is manufactured in that the skin of that application area is first analyzed and the outer surface area of the hearing device is adapted to the characteristics of that skin, thereby taking into account the result of said analyzing. Analyzing may preferably be directed on characteristics of visual appearance, surface structure, chemical surface characteristics, mechanical behavior and state of health of such skin.
1. A method for manufacturing a hearing device to be applied to an application area of an individual's ear, said method comprising:
analyzing characteristics including at least one of chemical surface characteristics and of state of health of the skin of the individual's application area, thereby generating an analyzing result;
conceiving an outer surface of said hearing device to be applied to said application area as a function of at least a part of said analyzing result.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of conceiving an outer surface area of said hearing device as said function, which outer surface area is to be applied to said application area.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising the step of manufacturing said outer surface by applying to solid material at the outer surface of said hearing device at least one of a liquid substance, a gel-substance and a pasteous substance.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of generating as said analyzing result at least information about texture of said application area and adapting said outer surface area during said conceiving step to said texture.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of adapting said hearing device to changing characteristics of said skin of the individual's application area by providing at said hearing device a removable and re-applicable shell and adapting said outer surface of said hearing device by exchanging said shell with another shell adapted to changed characteristics.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of applying on the surface at least one of a medicament or an antibiotic.
