Hearing aid programming interface

Abstract

A programmable hearing aid having a battery compartment which holds a battery under normal operating conditions, but which is also adapted to hold a coupler member for connecting an external programming device to the hearing aid is disclosed. To connect an external programming device to the hearing aid, lead wires in contact with the programming device are contacted with battery and programming terminals in the battery compartment by means of a coupling member. The coupling member is shaped to fit in the battery compartment and has electrodes in contact with the lead wires from the programming device arranged for contacting the battery and programming terminals in the battery compartment.
