  • a fastening loop or a Replacement power module for the hearing aid on the remote control be carried along.
  • a programmable hearing aid known, in which an external control device in the form of a Wrist watch trained remote control is present.
  • This Control unit has a housing with a keypad and a Digital display on. The keypad is different Functions occupied. At the edge of the housing, ie on a surface, the orthogonal to the area arranged with the keypad is, there are control buttons for a program selection. The transmission of a signal from the hearing aid to the Remote control is not provided.
  • Object of the present invention is the operation a hearing aid by means of a remote control to facilitate.
  • a remote control for a hearing aid the one housing with several at least substantially comprises mutually orthogonally arranged housing sides, solved by arranged on a first side of the housing first Controls whose operation by a user the Transmission of a control signal from the remote control to the Hearing aid causes, and at least one at one of the first side of the housing at least substantially orthogonal arranged second housing side arranged second operating element, its operation by a user both the transmission of a signal from the remote control to the Hearing aid as well as the transmission of a signal from the Hearing aid to the remote causes, the user from the signal transmitted to the remote control one Display of a hearing aid feature, a hearing aid state or a hearing aid setting.
  • the remote control according to the invention controls at different, in particular substantially at least approximately orthogonal housing sides arranged can be arranged in a simple way even without Direct viewing of the remote control different, with the remote control executable functions are distinguished.
  • the one pure signal transmission from the remote control too require one or more hearing aids, and such Functions due to which in response to a remote control signal transmitted to the hearing aid another Signal from the hearing aid to the remote is transferred back.
  • Functions that are just a transmission a signal from the remote control to the hearing aid require, for example, the program switching or the volume setting.
  • Functions that involve a retransmission a signal from the hearing aid to the remote control require, e.g. the display of the currently set Hearing program, which is of particular interest if the hearing aid in question is an automatic Environmental analysis and associated automatic program selection performs. Another example is the ad the current state of charge of the hearing aid battery.
  • the remote control points according to the invention preferably a relatively big top and one comparatively in comparison small side surface up.
  • the different sides of the Housing the remote control and thus the different Functions arranged on the respective sides of the housing Controls can be so by mere palpation of the Remote easily distinguish. This can be one of a user intended function with a remote control reliable according to the invention, also e.g. in a dark environment or with the remote control in a trouser pocket, be executed. Confusion in the operation are thus largely avoided.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that Functions that only signal transmission from the Require remote control to at least one hearing aid, only through the top of the housing of the remote control arranged controls are triggered. In return are controls in which the associated functions also a retransmission of a signal from the hearing aid to the remote control requires only one to the top orthogonal side of the case of the remote control arranged.
  • the remote control modular.
  • the remote control includes, for example a basic module, which only a transmitting function of the Remote control to the hearing aid allows.
  • Controls in which Actuation of a signal transmission from a hearing aid to the receiving module is triggered, can on the base module be arranged and in the case of not a receiving module extended remote without function. Only when that Base module is connected to a receiving module is this Controls assigned a function.
  • a signal transmission from a hearing aid to the remote control is triggered at the receiving module, these being
  • Operating elements arranged on a side surface of the receiving module are, at least substantially to the housing side the base module is orthogonal on which the controls the base module are arranged.
  • the invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment explained in more detail.
  • the figure shows a remote control according to the invention with a base module and a receiving module.
  • the remote control 1 From the perspective view of the remote control 1 according to The figure shows the case top 2A and the right side 2B can be seen.
  • On the housing top 2A is a Number of controls. These are the program selection buttons 3A-3D, by means of which different hearing programs at a adjusted by means of the remote control 1 operated hearing aid can be.
  • the remote control 1 further comprises a second slide switch 3F connected to a Rocker switch 3G is available.
  • the rocker switch 3G has a neutral Middle position and triggers when pressing the left side of the switch a reduction of a certain parameter, as long or as often the left side of the switch depressed becomes. Actuation of the right side of the switch leads to an increase in the relevant parameter.
  • Which parameter can be changed by the rocker switch 3G, via the Slide switch 3F are selected. Is the Slide switch 3F in the switch position "1", so can over the rocker switch 3G the volume can be adjusted.
  • Farther can be in the switching position "2" of the slide switch 3F change the sound of the hearing aid in question, by e.g. an increase or decrease of the depths takes place. Analogously, in the switching position "3", the middle frequency range and raised in the switching position "4" the heights or lowered.
  • the remote control 1 is with equipped with a display 4 through which certain information can be graphically illustrated.
  • the different parameters which are the Sliding switch 3F assigned in the respective position are, show.
  • the display 4 is particularly then advantageous, if so also current properties, settings and states of one or more, through the remote control 1 controlled hearing aids 1 can be displayed.
  • Such a setting may e.g. the currently active hearing program be.
  • the hearing aid concerned with an automatic situation detection is equipped and by means of the remote control can be checked, whether by this automatic situation detection the current hearing situation recognized correctly has been.
  • Another useful information is the current one State of charge of the voltage source of the hearing aid in question. This too can be shown on the display, e.g. in shape of a bar.
  • the remote control 1 In addition to the optical display in the form of the display 4 includes the remote control 1 according to the embodiment also a speaker 5 and a vibrator 6 for transmission an acoustic and a haptic signal. These Signals are preferably used as warning signals, e.g. to the warning in front of a declining battery.
  • the remote control 1 is as modular remote control with a base module 2 and a detachable executed with the base module 2 connectable receiving module 7.
  • the receiving module 7 is optional and extends the Functional range of the remote control 1. So the basic module is 2 according to the embodiment, only for the transmission of electromagnetic Signals from the remote control 1 to at least a hearing aid in the situation. Should also signals from a hearing aid are received, so this is the Reception module 7 required.
  • the receiving module includes 7 for the reception of one of a hearing aid outgoing electromagnetic signal required components, such as for example, a receiving unit with an electronic Receiver device 9A and one connected thereto Antenna 9B.
  • the receiver device 9A instead of an additional antenna 9B can the receiver device 9A also with the in the base module be connected to send existing antenna, thus as it is designed as a transmitting and receiving antenna. So can in the present embodiment of the current State of charge of the battery of a relevant hearing aid device only be displayed correctly on the display 4, although the receiving module 7 in the remote control 1 is available. If the receiving module 7 does not exist, then can with respect to the state of charge of the voltage source only an estimate may be displayed, for example due to the duty cycle is made.
  • the remote control 1 comprises also the receiving module 7 controls 8A and 8B. At a correctly held in the hand remote control 1 are located These, however, not on the top of the housing of the remote control 1 and the receiving module 7, but the controls 8A and 8B are substantially orthogonal to those on the housing top the remote control 1 arranged controls 3A-3G arranged.
  • the remote control 1 is in Essentially cuboid shaped.
  • the invention relates but also remote controls that are ergonomic are designed and therefore not necessarily have flat housing sides.
  • Controls that provide a pure data transfer to one Hearing aid effect, and controls, which also a data transfer from a hearing aid to the remote control is triggered, on different sides of the housing arranged, such that these different arrangement only by touching the remote control is recognizable.
