Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hearing aid device with a housing, a directional microphone device, a Transmission device for electrical or electromagnetic Transmitting signals between the hearing aid device and an external device and a hearing aid device for amplifying directional microphone signals exclusively come directly from the directional microphone device, in a first mode of operation and for amplifying signals, which originate from the transmission device, in one second operating mode.
- the present concerns Invention a corresponding method for operating a Hearing aid.
- in-the-ear hearing aids with the help of a Otoplasty inserted into the ear canal.
- the microphones of the Directional microphones of the hearing aid are arranged so that its highest sensitivity in the inserted state of the Hearing aid substantially horizontally facing forward.
- headsets are available on the market, the used for example in conjunction with mobile phones become.
- the phone signal is wireless or wired from the phone to the headset. This is either by an earmold or with an earplug attached in the ear and partially covers the auricle.
- Headset would also have hearing aid functionality. This would have the advantage that the headset user also from one Frequency response shaping of a hearing aid could benefit.
- the problem here is that in a hearing aid mode the directional microphones horizontally forward and in one Phone mode to be directed to the mouth of the user would.
- the Actuator may be in the form of a microswitch as Push-button or rocker switch or in the form of a small Rotary switch be formed, in particular in the Training as a switch with rotatable actuator also several switching functions can be triggered or several switching positions are selectable.
- the patent DE 42 33 813 C1 a programmable hearing aid with space-saving arrangement the switch elements. It is in a programming socket Switching element for switching on / off the hearing aid used.
- the usable switch element can be used as a rotary switch or Potentiometer be formed.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to To specify a hearing aid, the problem Takes into account. In addition, a corresponding procedure for operating a hearing aid device.
- this object is achieved by a hearing aid device with a housing, a directional microphone device, a transmission device for electrical or electromagnetic Transmitting signals between the hearing aid device and an external device and a Hearing aid device for amplifying directional microphone signals, the exclusively directly from the directional microphone device come in a first mode of operation and to amplify Signals originating from the transmission device in one second operating mode, as well as a rotary switch, the one first and a rotatable second section, wherein the housing with the first and the directional microphone device connected to the second section, so that the hearing aid device by turning the directional microphone device relative to the housing from one to the other the two operating modes can be switched.
- the switching functionality coupled with the alignment process of directional microphones and thus a compromise to be avoided, according to which the directional microphones in a middle position between the horizontal and the direction of the user's mouth would be fixed.
- signals are also preferably amplified by the directional microphone device. This is not only necessarily with binaural supply, but also brings benefits for the hearing impaired, as their own language is strengthened for her suitably.
- the second operating mode may be a telephone mode wherein the electrically or electromagnetically transmitted signals come from a telephone.
- the easy switch to the phone mode will be a major application area, Nevertheless, the inventive method and the inventive Hearing aid device also suitable for that in the second mode only the own voice signals be transmitted to an external amplifier. This is suitable for example, for events in larger rooms, television events and the same.
- the Carrier in the second mode also from the hearing aid functionality benefit and possibly in the pure hearing aid operation switch over by simply turning the directional microphones.
- Hearing aid device has the transmission device Bluetooth chip on. This can be standard transmission methods be used.
- the rotary switch is, as already mentioned, with its one Section firmly connected to the housing of the hearing aid.
- the housing can be realized as an earmold be. This allows a comfortable fit and acoustic comfort be achieved with conventional hearing aids.
- the hearing aid device according to the invention is shown H similar to an in-the-ear hearing in the ear canal of a Carrier used.
- a boom A in which the directional microphone is housed, points according to the marked Arrow horizontally forward.
- the direction of the jib corresponds to the highest sensitivity of the directional microphone.
- the wearer In this mode, the wearer primarily takes the Sound of a source true to which the wearer's gaze directed. This corresponds to the usual hearing aid mode.
- the carrier If the carrier is now making a phone call, first Line the carrier's voice signals for transmission take. Therefore, according to FIG 2, the boom A of the hearing aid H according to the arrow marked there to the mouth the carrier turned. The earmold in the ear canal of the wearer does not change its position. The rotation of the boom A opposite the earmold is ensured by a rotary switch. The rotation then becomes not only the preferred direction the directional microphone changed, but also from switched to the phone mode in the hearing aid mode. It will the transmission device for transmitting and receiving electrical or electromagnetic signals switched on. About that In addition, the hearing aid is switched to telephone operation, in suitable filters and reinforcements specific for Phone situations are performed. By turning the Cantilever of the hearing aid device may also accept the Telephone conversation. To end the conversation turns the carrier the boom back up.
- FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the hearing aid device in FIG the phone mode.
- a hearing aid chip HC To a hearing aid chip HC is a speaker L and a directional microphone RM connected.
- a bidirectional Data connection is the hearing aid chip HC with a Bluetooth chip BC, which is active in the telephone mode, in Connection.
- the Bluetooth chip BC sends and receives signals via an antenna A. With this configuration, it is possible that the carrier via the speaker L both the phone signals from the bluetooth chip BC as well as your own Speech signals are processed via the directional microphone RM obtained with the individual frequency response of the hearing aid chip.
- the wearer switches to the hearing aid mode by turning on the Boom on the rotary switch turns up, so is accordingly 4 shows the Bluetooth chip BC inactive, so that interrupted the bidirectional connection between the two chips is.
- the hearing aid works accordingly, as a pure hearing aid, in which exclusively the recorded via the directional microphone sound signals be prepared in the hearing aid chip accordingly.
