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.
