Abstract
A charging contact assembly for a hearing device system. The assembly has a first charging contact which is accessible on an outer side for contacting with a first mating contact of a mating contact assembly, and a second charging contact which is accessible on the outer side for contacting with a second mating contact of the mating contact assembly. Furthermore, the charging contact assembly has a control contact which is galvanically isolated on the outer side from the first and the second charging contacts, and a charging controller which is configured to detect a proper contacting of the first and second charging contacts with the corresponding mating contact based on contact with the control contact.
