Abstract

Die individuelle Anpassung eines Hörgeräts an einen Hörgeräteträger soll vereinfacht werden. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass der Hörgeräteträger in einer bestimmten Hörsituation die Verstärkung manuell wählt (1) und einen Justiervorgang (2) auslöst, so dass diese Hörsituation physikalisch vermessen wird (3). Daraus wird ein neues Kennlinienfeld ermittelt (4), so dass in einer neuen Hörsituation (5) automatisch eine entsprechende Verstärkung eingestellt werden kann (6). Durch diese Möglichkeit des Selbstjustierens ist es nicht mehr notwendig, dass der Hörgeräteträger zur Anpassung einen Akustiker aufsucht.

The individual adaptation of a hearing aid to a hearing aid wearer is to be simplified. For this purpose, it is provided that the hearing aid wearer selects the reinforcement manually in a certain hearing situation (1) and triggers an adjustment process (2), so that this hearing situation is physically measured (3). From this a new characteristic field is determined (4), so that in a new hearing situation (5) a corresponding gain can be set automatically (6). Due to this possibility of self-adjustment, it is no longer necessary for the hearing aid wearer to seek out an acoustician for adaptation.
