Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hearing aid with a display device for displaying status information. About that In addition, the present invention relates to a method for operating a hearing aid by displaying such State information.
- Hearing aids currently offer only acoustic feedback. About such acoustic feedback is a Check whether the hearing aid z. B. is turned on only in attached state possible. If necessary, the condition also recognizable by the on / off switch, if such is available. Also, the battery condition is not without further queries. For this, the device must be worn for a long time Be the audible message for a low battery to listen. A determination of the battery condition when the Device just is not worn, is usually not possible.
- Electrochromic displays are based on the electrochromic Effect that occurs in many organic materials. He consists in the change of the absorption or reflection properties of a material as a result of a reversible Oxidation or reduction. Electrophoretic displays are based on the effect electrically charged particles in the electric Align or move field and thus different Create contrasts.
- Implementation forms for such ads are the so-called “electronic paper” and the “electronic ink”. This means that the display is extremely flexible and lightweight is similar in appearance to printed paper. In appearance As an ink, it can be put on a carrier in any form (Helmuth Lemme, "Roll-Up Displays", Electronics 16/2003, pages 56 to 61).
- a wake-up device known in the structure of an insertable into the ear canal Ear insert is included.
- This ear insert may be hearing aid components include and have an indication on the a set alarm time can be read.
- a "quartz watch" can be used as an ad.
- the object of the present invention is that Ways to display state information on a hearing aid continue to improve.
- this object is achieved by a hearing aid with a display device for displaying status information, wherein the display device is formed electrophoretically is.
- electrophoretic displays over LCD displays are. Furthermore the LCD displays need power permanently, as long as they are View data while the electrophoretic displays only to change the displayed information briefly need energy. After the change then the display of the displayed Maintain information without any energy input. There these ads do not consume power as long as the displayed Data can not be changed on items that activate the ad, also be waived. This contributes to further space savings.
- the display device on the hearing aid housing also be applied with a coating technique. Thereby can automate various forms of ads be applied to the hearing aid.
- the hearing aid with the electrophoretic display can It is an ITE hearing aid and especially a CIC hearing aid act. Despite the small size of these hearing aids is it possible to save the space-saving and flexible display there use.
- a special field of application of the electrophoretic display also opens up in children's hearing aids, whose design is smaller is as that of adult devices.
- the state information associated with the electrophoretic display can be reproduced, the on state of the hearing aid, the battery level, the selected program and / or affect the volume setting.
- all can important status information also for third parties, eg. B. the acoustician, directly readable on the hearing aid.
- the outer surface (see FIG. 1) of an ITE hearing device which faces outward in the inserted state of the hearing device, generally has a size of only 1 cm 2 .
- the largest portion of this outer surface is usually occupied by the battery compartment B.
- an electrophoretic display A can now readily be attached according to the invention. Since it requires virtually no space in the depth, it can certainly be arranged in this area. Since they can also be designed arbitrarily in shape, the available lateral space can be used as much as possible. In the present case, therefore, a trapezoidal shape is selected for the display form.
- On the display A can be any information about represent the status of the hearing aid I.
- the electrophoretic display also has HdO hearing aids H Advantages. Since their housing is curved virtually everywhere, is you with the electrophoretic display A no longer on areas of the housing limited, which formed approximately flat are. Rather, on the hearing aid housing and large area Displays A are realized, as shown in FIG 2 is. Such large-scale displays A allow also the presentation of longer texts or more information simultaneously.
- electrophoretic displays on the hearing aids I and H can For example, whether the respective device is turned on is and still has enough battery reserve. About that In addition to the set program P and the Volume L may also show service information become. Is not enough the size of the display H for the Presentation of all information, these can be timed staggered, for example, for a given period of time after a change.
- the size of the ad plays in terms of energy consumption not essential. Principle-conditioned is namely always necessary only for changing the display energy.
- the children's hearing aid makes it easier for parents to control whether Your child's hearing aid is working properly and correctly is set. But even with adult devices results the special advantage that, for example, the battery condition even before putting on the hearing aid easily can be controlled by a readable display.
