Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remote control for hearing aids.
  • From the EP 0 298 323 A1 is designed as a watch remote control for a hearing aid known.
  • This has an electrically conductive bottom of the watch and a trace on the watch glass and is thus the same as the housing physically designed as a plate capacitor.
  • the remote control can be used to wirelessly transmit control commands to the hearing aid, eg to adjust the volume or to set a sound filter.
  • a remote control for a hearing aid which includes means for storing the hearing aid and / or hearing aid accessories on the remote control.
  • a fastening loop or a replacement power module for the hearing aid can be carried on the remote control.
  • a programmable hearing aid in which an external control device is provided in the form of a watch designed as a remote control.
  • This controller has a housing with a keypad and a digital display.
  • the keypad is assigned various functions.
  • the publication DE 100 48 338 A1 discloses a trained in the form of a wrist remote control for hearing aids, which comprises on at least substantially orthogonal housing sides arranged controls for remote control of a hearing aid.
  • WO 01/22777 A1 is a hand-held device for performing hearing tests known. This device has several controls and can also be used to remote control a hearing aid.
  • Object of the present invention is to erleichstern the operation of a hearing aid by means of a remote control.
  • a remote control for a hearing aid comprising a housing having a plurality of at least substantially mutually orthogonal housing sides, solved by arranged on a first side of the housing first controls whose operation causes the transmission of a control signal from the remote control to the hearing aid by a user , and at least one arranged on a first side of the housing at least substantially orthogonally arranged second side of the housing second Everyelement actuated by a user both the transmission of a signal from the remote control to the hearing aid and the transmission of a signal from the Hearing aid to the remote causes, wherein the user from the signal transmitted to the remote control learns a Hör Anlagengereteeigenschaft, HöryakoaraTechInstitutes or Hearing aid setting, where a plurality of second controls are present and the second controls are arranged exclusively on the second side of the housing and wherein the first controls are arranged exclusively on the first side of the housing.
  • the remote control according to the invention operating elements are arranged on different, in particular substantially at least approximately orthogonal housing sides, in a simple manner, even without direct viewing of the remote control different, with the remote control executable functions are distinguished.
  • a strict distinction is made between functions that require a pure signal transmission from the remote control to one or more hearing aids, and such functions, on the basis of which in response to a transmitted from the remote control to the hearing aid signal another signal from the hearing aid is transferred back to the remote control.
  • Functions requiring only transmission of a signal from the remote control to the hearing aid include, for example, program switching or volume adjustment.
  • Functions which require a retransmission of a signal from the hearing aid to the remote control are, for example, the display of the currently set hearing program, which is of particular interest when the hearing aid in question carries out an automatic environmental analysis and an associated automatic program selection.
  • Another example is the display of the current state of charge of the hearing aid battery.
  • the remote control according to the invention preferably has a relatively large upper side and a comparatively small side surface in comparison thereto.
  • the different sides of the housing of the remote control and thus the different functions of the arranged on the respective sides of the housing controls can be easily distinguished by merely touching the remote control.
  • a function intended by a user with a remote control according to the invention can reliably, for example, in a dark environment or with the remote control in a pocket, be executed. Mistakes in the operation are thus largely avoided.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that functions which require exclusively signal transmission from the remote control to at least one hearing aid device are triggered exclusively by control elements arranged on the upper side of the housing of the remote control.
  • controls in which the associated functions also requires a retransmission of a signal from the hearing aid to the remote control, arranged exclusively on an orthogonal to the top side of the housing of the remote control.
  • the remote control is modular.
  • the remote control includes, for example, a base module, which only allows a transmission function from the remote control to the hearing aid. If a user desires an extended functionality of this remote control, then this can be extended by a receiving unit which can be detachably connected to the base module.
  • Operating elements upon actuation of which a signal transmission from a hearing aid device to the reception module is triggered, can be arranged on the base module and, in the case of a remote control not extended to a reception module, have no function. Only when the base module is connected to a receiving module, a function is assigned to these controls.
  • the operation of a signal transmission is triggered by a hearing aid to the remote control, at the receiving module, these controls are arranged on a side surface of the receiving module which is orthogonal at least substantially to the housing side of the base module, on the the controls of the base module are arranged.
  • the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment.
  • the figure shows a remote control according to the invention with a base module and a receiving module.
  • the housing 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 can be set in a hearing aid device operated by means of the remote control 1.
  • a slide switch 3E through which a selection can be made whether the operation of a control element on the remote control 1 should only affect a hearing aid for the supply of the left ear or a hearing aid for the supply of the right ear (left or right Position of the slide switch 3E) or whether both hearing aids should be controlled simultaneously by the remote control (middle position of the slide switch 3E) in a binaural supply of a hearing aid wearer.
  • the remote control 1 further comprises a second slide switch 3F which is in communication with a rocker switch 3G.
  • the rocker switch 3G has a neutral center position and triggers a reduction of a certain parameter on actuation of the left side of the switch as long as or the left side of the switch is depressed. Actuation of the right side of the switch leads to an increase of the relevant parameter.
  • Which parameter is changed by the rocker switch 3G can be selected via the slide switch 3F. If the slide switch 3F is in the switch position "1", the volume can be set via the rocker switch 3G. Furthermore, in the switching position "2" of the slide switch 3F, the sound of the relevant hearing aid device can be changed, for example by increasing or decreasing the depths. Analogously, in the switching position "3", the middle frequency range and in the shift position "4" raised or lowered the heights.
  • the remote control 1 is equipped with a display 4, can be graphically illustrated by the specific information. For example, this allows the different parameters associated with the slide switch 3F in the respective position to be displayed.
  • the display 4 is particularly advantageous if it also current properties, settings and states of one or more controlled by the remote control 1 hearing aids 1 can be displayed.
  • Such a setting may e.g. to be the currently active hearing program. This is of particular interest when the hearing aid in question is equipped with an automatic situation detection and can be checked by means of the remote control, whether the current hearing situation has been recognized by this automatic situation detection.
  • Another useful information is the current state of charge of the voltage source of the hearing aid in question. This too can be shown on the display, e.g. in the form of a bar.
  • the remote control 1 in addition to the optical display in the form of the display 4, the remote control 1 according to the embodiment also includes a loudspeaker 5 and a vibrator 6 for emitting an acoustic and a haptic signal. These signals are preferably used as warning signals, e.g. to warn of a running out of battery.
  • the remote control 1 is designed as a modular remote control with a base module 2 and a releasably connectable to the base module 2 receiving module 7.
  • the receiving module 7 is optional and extends the functional scope of the remote control 1.
  • the base module 2 according to the embodiment only for transmitting electromagnetic signals from the remote control 1 to at least a hearing aid in the situation. If signals from a hearing aid should also be received, then the receiving module 7 is required for this purpose.
  • the receiving module 7 comprises the components required for receiving an electromagnetic signal emanating from a hearing aid device, such as, for example, a receiving unit having an electronic receiver component 9A and an antenna 9B connected thereto.
  • the receiver component 9A may also be connected to the antenna present in the base module for transmission, which is thus, as it were, designed as a transmitting and receiving antenna.
  • the current state of charge of the battery of a particular hearing aid device can only be correctly displayed on the display 4, if the receiving module 7 is present in the remote control 1. If the receiving module 7 is not present, then with respect to the state of charge of the voltage source only an estimate can be displayed, which is made for example due to the duty cycle.
  • the reception module 7 also includes controls 8A and 8B.
  • the controls 8A and 8B are arranged substantially orthogonal to the controls 3A-3G disposed on the upper case side of the remote control 1 .
  • the remote control 1 is formed substantially cuboid.
  • the invention also relates to remote controls, which are designed from an ergonomic point of view and therefore do not necessarily have flat sides of the housing. According to the invention, however, controls that cause a pure data transfer to a hearing aid, and controls in which a data transfer from a hearing aid to the remote control is triggered, arranged on different sides of the housing, such that these different arrangement alone by touching the remote control recognizable is.
