A method for manufacturing a hearing aid component for fitting in the auditory canal of a hearing aid user, the hearing aid component having a covering of resilient material on at least part of its outside surface and an inner sound conveying part, comprises acquiring data representing the shape of the auditory canal of a user; forming a three-dimensional computer model of the shape of the hearing aid component based on the acquired data; forming a three-dimensional computer model of a mould for casting the covering; manufacturing said mould in a rapid prototyping process based on said three-dimensional computer model of the mould; casting the covering in the mould; removing the mould from the covering; and forming said hearing aid component by joining the covering with the inner sound conveying part. A hearing aid comprising a hearing aid component manufactured by this method is also provided.
La présente invention concerne un procédé servant à fabriquer un composant d'un appareil auditif (15, 50) adapté pour s'ajuster dans le canal auditif dun utilisateur d'appareil auditif, le composant de l'appareil auditif possédant une enveloppe composée dun matériau élastique sur au moins une partie de sa surface extérieure et le composant de l'appareil auditif possédant une partie intérieure transportant le son (16, 56). Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à acquérir des données représentant la forme du canal auditif de l'utilisateur d'un appareil auditif; former un modèle informatique tridimensionnel de la forme du composant de l'appareil auditif (15, 50) sur la base des données acquises; former un modèle informatique tridimensionnel d'un moule (10, 40) pour mouler l'enveloppe; fabriquer ledit moule dans un processus de prototypage rapide sur la base dudit modèle informatique tridimensionnel du moule; couler l'enveloppe dans le moule; retirer le moule de l'enveloppe; et former ledit composant de l'appareil auditif en joignant l'enveloppe à la partie intérieure transportant le son. L'invention concerne en outre un appareil auditif comprenant un composant de l'appareil auditif fabriqué grâce à ce procédé.
