Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hearing aid remote control according to the preamble of claim 1 and a hearing aid with such a remote control according to that of claim 8.
  • Inductive remote controls for hearing aids have been known for a long time, for example from CH-PS 670 349. They form one more device which the individual must keep within reach to intervene if necessary on the operation of his hearing aid. It is not everyone's cup of tea to take the remote control as a not inconspicuous device in public, if necessary, and to intervene in his hearing aid, since it is made known that a hearing aid is worn, contrary to the efforts to keep this as concealed as possible.
  • the inductive remote control which usually has a transmitter unit, which acts on the output side on a coil arrangement as a transmission antenna, and a control unit which can be operated from the outside with control signals and which transmits at least some of these control signals for the hearing aid, on the output side, to the transmitter unit and with an accumulator or Battery supply unit, with transmitter unit, coil arrangement, control unit and accumulator or battery supply unit in a wristwatch built in.
  • the coil arrangement is designed in such a way that it generates at least approximately a magnetic field, just like a magnetic dipole arranged parallel to the bracelet orientation on the watch.
  • the orientation mentioned corresponds to the direction between the six and twelve o'clock mark.
  • an inductive remote control i.e. with a coil arrangement as a transmitting antenna in a wristwatch and as a hearing aid remote control additionally solved the problem that no regulations can be made for the position of a conventional remote control and that the communication link remote control / hearing aid often does not come about due to an unfavorable relative positioning in the operating moment or is interrupted.
  • the arm and the wristwatch, and thus the remote control when it is operated are positioned within a relatively small positioning range, generally in front of the torso of the person mentioned, which makes it possible to ensure the communication link as far as possible.
  • this optimal connection security between remote control on the wristwatch and hearing aid is achieved when, as mentioned, the coil arrangement generates a magnetic field, approximating to that of an agnetic dipole on the wristwatch, aligned in the direction of the watch band or with analog time display on the clock, in the six / twelve o'clock direction.
  • At least one manually operable input element is provided on the wristwatch for operating the control unit, preferably more than one, with which, in addition to operating mode switches, control commands such as for loudness, directional characteristic , Frequency filtering behavior, etc. can be controlled on the hearing aid.
  • control commands such as for loudness, directional characteristic , Frequency filtering behavior, etc.
  • voice input instead of one or in addition to several manually operated input elements such as buttons, capacitive touch sensors, etc. on the wristwatch.
  • a visual and / or acoustic display is provided on the clock, preferably comprising an LED display which is connected to the
  • Control unit and / or the transmitter unit is operatively connected, and which preferably acknowledges at least the correct operation from the outside of the control unit which can be operated from the outside, and / or indicates that the battery or accumulator unit of the remote control has reached a predeterminable charge state. This ensures that the operator has certainty on the one hand that the command signals entered have been correctly registered, which is particularly important in the case of keys and / or voice input, or is based on when a battery change or recharging of the battery is necessary.
  • the transmitter unit also generates an amplitude-modulatable (AM) or frequency-modulatable (FM) signal a center frequency f within a frequency range to which applies
  • AM amplitude-modulatable
  • FM frequency-modulatable
  • the coil arrangement is formed by a linear coil, preferably by a ferrite-wound coil, which is then installed with an axis alignment on the watch, parallel to the bracelet direction or parallel to the six / twelve o'clock analog display direction.
  • At least the battery or accumulator unit of the remote control is constructed as a lithium-ion battery unit, if appropriate this unit is also used for the operation of the clock function operating unit.
  • a set of at least one hearing aid according to the invention with a remote control according to the invention is distinguished, in accordance with the wording of claim 8, in that the remote control is constructed as described above and has at least At least one hearing aid is provided with a receiver unit matched to the transmitter unit of the remote control.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows the communication field connection of a remote control according to the invention and a hearing aid in situ.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically and in the form of a signal flow / function block diagram a remote control according to the invention with a hearing aid, together forming a hearing aid / remote control set according to the invention.
  • an inductive remote control is installed in a housing 1 of a wristwatch with a bracelet 3. It comprises a transmission antenna arrangement 5, preferably formed by a linear, preferred ferrite core-wound coil.
  • the transmission antenna arrangement 5 generates a transmission magnetic field H, essentially the same as a magnetic dipole P, which is oriented in the direction of the bracelet 3, as shown in FIG. 1, or in the case of an analog clock, in the direction of the six / twelve o'clock -Timestamps.
  • the antenna arrangement 5 is operatively connected to the output A 7 of a transmitter unit 7 which, as shown schematically, comprises an AM or FM-modulated transmitter oscillator 9.
  • the modulation at the transmitter oscillator 9 is preferably carried out with a center frequency f, preferably in the range between 10 kHz and 100 kHz, particularly preferably in the range between 20 kHz and 60 kHz, very particularly preferably in the range between 35 kHz and 45 kHz.
  • the transmission oscillator 9 can also be frequency-modulated, preferably on two or more fixedly specified frequency values.
  • the transmitter unit 7 is operatively connected to the output A X1 of a control unit 11, which acts as a coding and modulator stage.
  • the output A X1 of the control unit 11 is operatively connected to the modulation input MOD of the transmission oscillator 9.
  • control signals T are input from the outside, as mentioned, manually or by voice input to the input E u of the control unit 11. This encodes the input control signals and generates corresponding modulation signals on the output side for the transmitter unit 7, which transmits the corresponding control commands to a hearing device 15 via the antenna arrangement 5 on the output side.
  • the hearing aid 15 with microphone 17, signal processing unit 19 and output-side electro-mechanical converter 21 has a receiver unit 23, matched to the transmitter / antenna arrangement 7, 5 on the wristwatch.
  • the receiver unit 23 with decoding unit decodes the received control commands and forwards them in a compatible format to the signal processing unit 19 of the hearing device 15.
  • the electrically active units of the remote control installed on the wristwatch are electrically powered by a battery or accumulator feed unit 25, the latter preferably comprising a lithium-ion battery.
  • Functional operating unit 27 shown for the wristwatch The remote control provided according to the invention with the units 5, 7, 11, 13 and 25 is preferably provided independently of the clock function operating unit 27; if appropriate, only the battery and accumulator unit 25 are also used for the electrical operation of the clock function operating unit 27.
  • the control unit also acts with an output A 11X , configured on a display 29 as an acoustic and / or visual display.
  • this display comprises an optical display, preferably in the form of an LED display.
  • the display 29 indicates when the control units 11 have received a control signal recognized as valid from the input unit 13. Receipt of such a signal is thus acknowledged with this display 29.
  • a display can also be operatively connected to the transmitter unit 7, as shown in broken lines, in order, for example, to acknowledge that a valid
  • FIG. 2 shows schematically the wrist of a person, with the bracelet 3 and the housing 1 of a wrist watch with an integrated remote control according to the invention.
  • P shows the magnetic dipole of the coil arrangement 5 according to FIG. 1. If the wrist is held in front of the torso to operate the remote control on the wristwatch, then the relative position of the dipole P with respect to the person's ear OH is with a hearing aid, for example with a receiver coil 23 ', as shown in FIG.
  • the transmission field H is optimally directed with respect to the ear OH and is optimally received there, for example, with the reception coil 23 'on an outer ear hearing device. This significantly increases the security of the connection, which is hardly influenced when the wrist or watch position varies in the usual range of variation, which ensures comfortable viewing of the watch display.
