Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adaptation of a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 1, a hearing aid according to that of claim 3 and a manufacturing method according to that of claim 5.
  • Hearing aids in particular in-the-ear hearing aids, have a Shaping with regard to their housing shape, which is often independent depends on whether a hearing aid viewed is on the left or to be worn on the right ear.
  • the intended microphones on or in the ear and with respect of the head are applied in the specified position, for example, a microphone for receiving audio signals from the front must follow both the left and right ear to be in front.
  • the role of the hearing aid is therefore made possible provided microphones switching with regard to signal processing to swap, so that only one set of the hearing aid during manufacture can be created and preferably only when the hearing aids are adjusted to an individual, switching, each desired active connection between the intended microphones the signal processing unit, ultimately the intended one Output converter on the hearing aid, is created.
  • FIG 2 explains which schematically a hearing aid according to the invention shows the realization of the adaptation method according to the invention and manufactured according to the invention.
  • 2 includes the hearing aid according to the invention has at least two microphones 3a and 3b, each of which is assigned an analog / digital converter 5a, 5b is. Between the digital outputs of the analog / digital converter 5a and 5b and the inputs of a signal processing unit 7 According to the invention, a switchover unit 9 is provided with a Control input S. On the switching unit 9, the outputs the microphones 3a, b with respect to the inputs of the signal processing unit 7, ultimately regarding their interaction to the electromechanical output transducer 11 of the hearing aid, switching interchanged.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, afin qu'il soit possible d'utiliser de façon souple, avec l'oreille gauche ou avec l'oreille droite, un appareil auditif comportant au moins deux micros placés en des endroits différents, les sorties de ces micros sont connectées, de façon à pouvoir être interverties, par l'intermédiaire d'une unité de commutation (9), à l'unité de traitement de signal numérique (7).

Claims (5)

  1. Procédé d'adaptation à l'oreille gauche-/droite d'un appareil auditif avec au moins deux microphones qui sont fonctionnellement reliés par une unité de traitement de signaux à au moins un convertisseur de sortie de l'appareil auditif, caractérisé en ce qu'on commute sélectivement la liaison fonctionnelle des microphones au convertisseur de sortie à l'appareil auditif achevé.
  2. Procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que l'on procède à la commutation des microphones au cours de l'adaptation de l'appareil auditif à un individu.
  3. Appareil auditif avec au moins un premier microphone dont la sortie est reliée par une unité de traitement de signaux au moyen d'une première liaison fonctionnelle à l'entrée d'au moins un convertisseur de sortie de l'appareil auditif,
       avec un second microphone dont la sortie est reliée par l'unité de traitement de signaux au moyen d'une seconde liaison fonctionnelle à l'entrée d'au moins un convertisseur de sortie précité,
       caractérisé en ce qu'il est intercalé entre les sorties des microphones ainsi que l'entrée du convertisseur de sortie une unité de commutation qui relie la sortie du premier microphone par la première ou par la seconde liaison fonctionnelle à l'entrée du convertisseur de sortie et, ce faisant, relie la sortie du second microphone par la seconde ou par la première liaison fonctionnelle à l'entrée du convertisseur de sortie.
  4. Appareil auditif selon la revendication 3, avec respectivement des convertisseurs analogiques/numériques associés aux microphones et avec une unité de traitement de signaux numérique montée en aval des convertisseurs analogiques/numériques, caractérisé en ce que l'unité de commutation est intercalée entre les sorties numériques des convertisseurs analogiques/numériques et les entrées de l'unité de traitement de signaux.
  5. Procédé de fabrication d'appareils auditifs pour l'application à l'oreille gauche et droite, avec au moins deux microphones ainsi qu'avec une unité de traitement de signaux disposée en aval des microphones, caractérisé en ce qu'on fabrique les appareils auditifs d'une manière identique et qu'on établit, d'une manière commutée, une première liaison fonctionnelle avec le premier ou avec le second microphone et, d'une manière correspondante, une seconde liaison fonctionnelle avec le second ou avec le premier microphone.
