Abstract

Die Wahrnehmung von musikalischem Schall mit Musikanteil (15) und Sprachanteil (16) soll verbessert werden. Hierzu wird ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines binauralen Hörsystems mit einer linken Hörvorrichtung (13) für ein linkes Ohr und einer rechten Hörvorrichtung (14) für ein rechtes Ohr vorgeschlagen, das folgende Schritte aufweist. Es wird durch das Hörsystem zunächst eine Hörsituation mit dem Musikanteil (15) und dem Sprachanteil (16) festgestellt. Daraufhin wird eine der beiden Hörvorrichtungen (13, 14) in einen Musikmodus und die andere der beiden Hörvorrichtungen (13, 14) zur gleichen Zeit in einen Sprachmodus geschaltet. Der Hörgeräteträger (12) kann dann selbst entscheiden, welchem Anteil des Schalls er eher lauschen will.

The perception of musical sound with music part (15) and voice part (16) should be improved. For this purpose, a method is proposed for controlling a binaural hearing system with a left ear hearing device (13) and a right ear ear device (14), which comprises the following steps. First, a hearing situation with the music part (15) and the voice part (16) is detected by the hearing system. Subsequently, one of the two hearing devices (13, 14) is switched to a music mode and the other of the two hearing devices (13, 14) is switched to a voice mode at the same time. The hearing aid wearer (12) can then decide for himself which portion of the sound he would rather listen to.
