Abstract

Zur Verbesserung des automatischen Schaltens und Steuerns von Hörgeräten im Hinblick auf die jeweilige Hörsituation wird vorgeschlagen, das vom Hörgerät aufgenommene Akustiksignal nach Störsignalen zu analysieren. Das Steuern des Hörgeräts erfolgt dann anhand der analysierten Störsignale. So können einzelne Übertragungsparameter oder ganze Hörprogramme des Hörgeräts gesteuert bzw. geschaltet werden.

To improve the automatic switching and control of hearing aids with regard to the respective hearing situation, it is proposed to analyze the acoustic signal recorded by the hearing aid for interference signals. The control of the hearing aid is then based on the analyzed interference signals. Thus, individual transmission parameters or entire hearing programs of the hearing aid can be controlled or switched.
