Abstract

Eine Hörvorrichtung mit mehreren Mikrofonen (10, 11) soll auch bei einem Mikrofonausfall vernünftig weiterbetrieben werden können. Daher wird eine Hörvorrichtung und insbesondere ein Hörgerät vorgeschlagen, das eine Entscheidungseinrichtung (16) zum Entscheiden, ob eines der Mikrofone (10, 11) defekt ist, und eine Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung (12) zum Verarbeiten der Signale der Mikrofone mit mehreren Verarbeitungsalgorithmen vorgesehen. Die Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung (12) schaltet von einem ersten (13) der Verarbeitungsalgorithmen in einen zweiten (14) der Verarbeitungsalgorithmen um, wenn durch die Entscheidungseinrichtung (16) entschieden ist, dass eines der Mikrofone (10, 11) defekt ist. Insbesondere wird so beim Ausfall eines Mikrofons beispielsweise das automatische Umschalten von einem Richtmikrofonbetrieb in einen Omnidirektionalbetrieb ermöglicht.

A hearing aid with a plurality of microphones (10, 11) should be able to continue to operate reasonably even in the event of a microphone failure. Therefore, a hearing device and in particular a hearing aid is proposed which comprises a decision device (16) for deciding whether one of the microphones (10, 11) is defective, and a signal processing device (12) for processing the signals of the microphones with a plurality of processing algorithms. The signal processing device (12) switches from a first (13) of the processing algorithms to a second (14) of the processing algorithms, when it is decided by the decision device (16) that one of the microphones (10, 11) is defective. In particular, the failure of a microphone, for example, the automatic switching from a directional microphone operation is made possible in an omnidirectional operation.
