Abstract

Die Gefahr mangelhafter Hörgeräteversorgung von Schwerhörenden soll reduziert werden. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, den korrekten Sitz des Hörgeräts (1) oder der Hörgerätekomponente in einem Gehörgang zu ermitteln. Hierzu wird ein akustisches Messsignal in den Gehörgang abgegeben. Das im Gehörgang durch das Hörgerät oder die Hörgerätekomponente beeinflusste Messsignal wird aufgenommen und mit einem Referenzsignal verglichen. Aus dem Vergleich wird eine Information über den Sitz des Hörgeräts ermittelt. Diese Information wird mit einem Statusbericht (6) an eine externe Einheit (7) übermittelt. Somit kann insbesondere bei der Kinderversorgung eine objektive Information über den Sitz des Hörgeräts erhalten werden.

The risk of inadequate hearing aid care for the hearing impaired should be reduced. For this purpose, it is provided to determine the correct fit of the hearing aid (1) or the hearing aid component in an auditory canal. For this purpose, an acoustic measurement signal is emitted into the ear canal. The measuring signal influenced in the auditory canal by the hearing device or the hearing device component is recorded and compared with a reference signal. From the comparison information about the seat of the hearing aid is determined. This information is transmitted with a status report (6) to an external unit (7). Thus, in particular in the case of child care, objective information about the seat of the hearing device can be obtained.
