A device is provided for earphones that are introduced into the auditory canal
that provide protection against cerumen in which the sound from the earphone is
conducted onto a membrane that is arranged essentially parallel to the auditory
canal. Proceeding from the membrane, the sound is forwarded onto the tympanum,
where the membrane at least partially seals the earphone so that cerumen is kept
away from the earphone. The membrane, including the earphone, can be removed from
the hearing aid housing for cleaning purposes.
