Abstract

Bei der binauralen Versorgung eines Hörgeräteträgers mit zwei am Ohren tragbaren Hörhilfegeräten (1, 1', 11, 22, 24) soll das Richtungshören verbessert werden. Hierzu schlägt die Erfindung vor, jeweils Signallaufzeiten und/oder Signalamplituden und/oder Verstärkungen eines elektrischen Signals in einem Signalpfad zwischen einem Eingangswandler (2, 2', 12, 25, 26) und einem Ausgangswandler (4 14, 31) eines Hörhilfegerätes (1, 1', 11, 22, 24) zu messen und Daten bezüglich der gemessenen Signallaufzeiten und/oder Signalamplituden und/oder Verstärkungen auf das jeweils andere Hörhilfegerät zu übertragen. Dadurch können die Signallaufzeiten und die Signalamplituden der elektrischen Signale durch die beiden Hörhilfegeräte (1, 1', 11, 22, 24) aneinander angepasst werden. Damit wird durch die Hörhilfegeräte (1, 1', 11, 22, 24) keine Phasen- oder Amplitudenverzerrung verursacht und die natürliche Phasenverschiebung sowie der natürliche Amplitudenunterschied eines aus einer bestimmten Richtung einfallenden Schallsignals bleiben erhalten. Somit bleibt auch die Richtungsinformation für den Hörgeräteträger erhalten.

In the case of the binaural supply of a hearing device wearer with two hearing aid devices (1, 1 ', 11, 22, 24) which can be worn on the ears, directional hearing should be improved. For this purpose, the invention proposes in each case signal propagation times and / or signal amplitudes and / or amplifications of an electrical signal in a signal path between an input transducer (2, 2 ', 12, 25, 26) and an output transducer (4, 14, 31) of a hearing aid device (1 , 1 ', 11, 22, 24) and to transmit data relating to the measured signal propagation times and / or signal amplitudes and / or amplifications to the respective other hearing aid device. As a result, the signal propagation times and the signal amplitudes of the electrical signals can be matched to each other by the two hearing aids (1, 1 ', 11, 22, 24). Thus, no phase or amplitude distortion is caused by the hearing aids (1, 1 ', 11, 22, 24) and the natural phase shift and the natural amplitude difference of a sound signal incident from a certain direction are maintained. Thus, the direction information for the hearing aid wearer is retained.
