Abstract

Das automatische Schalten und Steuern von Hörgeräten im Hinblick auf die jeweilige Hörsituation soll verbessert werden. Daher wird zum Steuern des Hörgeräts ein Akustiksignal und ein Induktionssignal aufgenommen. Anschließend wird das Akustiksignal mit dem Induktionssignal hinsichtlich vorgegebener Parameter wie Pegel, Trägerfrequenz, Modulationsfrequenz, Modulationsgrad und/oder geschätztem Signal-Rausch-Abstand ausgewertet und verglichen. Schließlich wird das Hörgerät anhand des Vergleichs hinsichtlich des Eingangssignals, einzelner Hörgeräteparameter oder ganzer Hörprogramme gesteuert.

The automatic switching and controlling of hearing aids with regard to the respective hearing situation is to be improved. Therefore, to control the hearing aid, an acoustic signal and an induction signal is recorded. Subsequently, the acoustic signal with the induction signal with respect to predetermined parameters such as level, carrier frequency, modulation frequency, modulation depth and / or estimated signal-to-noise ratio is evaluated and compared. Finally, the hearing aid is controlled based on the comparison in terms of the input signal, individual hearing aid parameters or entire hearing programs.
