Abstract

Die Wahrnehmung von Gerätesignalen beispielsweise zur Information des Hörgeräteträgers über Programmwechsel oder das Ende der Batterielebensdauer soll unabhängig vom Umgebungsgeräusch sichergestellt werden. Daher ist beispielsweise vorgesehen, den Pegel des Eingangssignals mit Hilfe eines Verstärkungsstellers (12) zu reduzieren, um ein Gerätesignal von einem Generator (4), der über ein Bedienelement (6), z.B. einen Programmwechselschalter, und eine Steuerlogik (5) angesteuert wird, wahrnehmen zu können. Andere Lösungsmöglichkeiten bestehen darin, den Pegel des Gerätesignals in Abhängigkeit von dem Pegel des Eingangssignals zu ändern oder das Eingangssignal während der Wiedergabe des Gerätesignals stumm zu schalten.

The perception of device signals, for example, to inform the hearing aid wearer about program changes or the end of the battery life should be ensured regardless of the ambient noise. Therefore, for example, it is provided to reduce the level of the input signal with the aid of a gain controller (12) in order to control a device signal from a generator (4) which is controlled via a control element (6), eg a program change switch, and control logic (5). to be able to perceive. Other possible solutions are to change the level of the device signal depending on the level of the input signal or mute the input signal during playback of the device signal.
