CARTILAGE CONDUCTION EARPHONE AND HEARING DEVICE

To provide a cartilage conduction earphone which has a versatility, enables reduction of a delivery period and costs, and makes displacement less likely to occur when a user moves its body fiercely, and to provide a heating device.SOLUTION: A cartilage conduction earphone comprises: a holding body 10 which is inserted into an external auditory canal and held in the external auditory canal; and a device body 5. In the device body, an electromechanical transducer which converts an electric signal into mechanical vibration is housed in a housing part 6 and the housing part 6 is connected to the holding body 10 by an elastic part 9 having elasticity. When the cartilage conduction earphone is attached, with the elastic part 9 deflected so that the housing part moves close to the holding body 10, the holding body 10 is inserted into the external auditory canal so that the housing part 6 is fitted in an intertragic incisure. The action allows the cartilage conduction earphone to be stably held.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】汎用性があって納期やコストを削減することができ、また激しく体を動かす際も位置ずれが生じにくい軟骨伝導イヤホン及び聴取機器を提供する。【解決手段】軟骨伝導イヤホンは、外耳道に挿入して外耳道に保持される保持体１０と、機器本体５で構成される。機器本体は、筐体部６の中に電気信号を機械振動に変換する電気機械変換器が収容され、弾性を有する弾性部９で、保持体１０と接続される。装着の際には軟骨伝導イヤホンを、筐体部６が保持体１０に近づくように弾性部９を撓ませつつ、筐体部６が珠間切痕に収まるように保持体１０を外耳道に挿入する。これにより、軟骨伝導イヤホンは安定的に保持される。【選択図】図３
