Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for remote control a hearing aid with an input device for manual Enter tax information. Furthermore, the present concerns Invention a corresponding method for remote control of a hearing aid.
  • buttons are used.
  • the motorized operations can thus be carried out by the hearing aid wearer be monitored visually.
  • the difficulty however is that one for design and manufacturing cost reasons the remote control is usually as small as possible want to shape.
  • the fine motor skills that decrease with age on the other hand makes the operation of smaller buttons difficult, with what one comes back to the problem mentioned above. A small remote control can also easily be lost.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore the operation of hearing aids, especially for older hearing aid users to simplify.
  • a device for remote control of a hearing aid with an input device for manual input of control data, the input device being a projection device for projecting virtual input elements and a sensor device for detecting an actuation of the virtual Includes input elements.
  • a method for remote control is provided according to the invention of a hearing aid by manually entering control data as well as projecting virtual input elements and capturing an actuation of the virtual input elements in manual Enter.
  • the virtual input elements preferably comprise images of buttons, rotary switches and / or slide switches. This means that tax information can be quasi continuously or enter discretely into the remote control. Specifically can the virtual input elements represent an image of a program selector switch and / or a volume control.
  • the virtual input elements are advantageously used with projected onto the back of a hand using a projection device.
  • a projection on the hand or the The back of the hand has the advantage of both the fingertip as well as the back of the hand can be used for actuation. Both are relatively sensitive to touch. Across from the conventional physical button - operated with just the fingertip - this means a larger sensori-motor Stimulation and thus better control, because the touch is felt twice.
  • the virtual input elements are preferably in size scalable. So that they can match their preferences respectively The needs of the individual hearing aid wearer. This is practical with conventional physical buttons not feasible.
  • the projection device can with respect to the to be projected Information can be freely programmed. So that next to Buttons or actuators also information about the state of the hearing aid for presentation to the hearing aid wearer be projected. Through this basically free
  • the hearing aid can also be programmed according to preferences or needs of the individual hearing aid wearer can be adapted excellently.
  • the device according to the invention for remote control of a hearing aid or their input device can to the high Availability in a ring, bracelet or wrist watch to get integrated. So there is a risk of getting lost the remote control less than in the case of a standalone Device.
  • the device according to the invention advantageously only has a single physical switching element to turn it on.
  • a single power button can be large be chosen so that it is usually any hearing aid wearer succeeds in turning on the remote control.
  • a hearing aid 1 that has a Receiver and possibly a transmitter for wireless Transmission 2 of control signals.
  • the control signals are sent by a remote control 3, which with a Transmitter and optionally a receiver for wireless Transmission of control signals is equipped.
  • the remote control 3 is attached to a bracelet 4, the a wrist can be attached.
  • the remote control 3 projects two virtual buttons 5 and 6 on the back of the hand 7 of the hearing aid wearer. With these virtual buttons 5 and 6 For example, the volume can be adjusted up and down. Alternatively, you can also use the "1", “2" and “T” buttons on a program switch projected onto the back of the hand 7 for the hearing aid become.
  • Touching the hand or the back of the hand 7 the place where a virtual key 5, 6 is projected, is from a sensor that is integrated into the remote control 3 is registered and triggers a control signal. So would for example in the case of pressing the "up" key of the A corresponding signal from the remote control 3 transmitted to the hearing aid 1 and the amplification in the hearing aid be raised.
  • the remote control 3 has an on / off switch that is proportional is large, but not shown in the figure is equipped.
  • This information can be set parameters of the hearing aid 1 or the state of charge of the hearing aid battery and the like affect. This information is available either through Press the corresponding virtual buttons or the above On / off switch, which in this case is a multiple switch can be designed.
