Abstract

Bei der Bedienung eines Hörhilfegerätes mittels einer Fernbedienung (1) soll eine Fehlbedienung verhindert werden. Die Erfindung schlägt hierzu vor, Bedienelemente (3A-3G), die eine Signalübertragung von der Fernbedienung (1) zu einem Hörhilfegerät bewirken, und Bedienelemente (8A, 8B), die zusätzlich auch eine Signalübertragung von dem Hörhilfegerät zurück zu der Fernbedienung (1) bewirken, an orthogonalen Gehäuseseiten der Fernbedienung anzuordnen. Die unterschiedlichen Funktionen der Bedienelemente (3A-3G) und (8A-8B) können daher rein durch Ertasten der Fernbedienung (1) unterschieden werden.

Figure imgaf001
When operating a hearing aid by means of a remote control (1) to prevent incorrect operation. The invention proposes for this purpose, operating elements (3A-3G), which cause a signal transmission from the remote control (1) to a hearing aid, and controls (8A, 8B), which in addition also a signal transmission from the hearing aid back to the remote control (1). cause it to be arranged on orthogonal sides of the housing of the remote control. The different functions of the controls (3A-3G) and (8A-8B) can therefore be distinguished purely by keying the remote control (1).
