Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hörhilfe mit wenigstens einem Schallempfänger und einem Schallerzeuger. Die Hörhilfe weist eine mit dem Schallerzeuger wirkverbundene Audiosignaleinheit auf, wobei die Audiosignaleinheit ausgebildet ist, ein von einem menschlichen Ohr wahrnehmbares Audiosignal zu erzeugen. Das Audiosignal weist mehrere zueinander verschiedene Frequenzen eines Frequenzbereichs auf. Die Audiosignaleinheit weist wenigstens einen Tonsignalgenerator auf. Der wenigstens eine Tonsignalgenerator ist ausgebildet, das Audiosignal mit wenigstens einer einen Ton repräsentierenden Grundfrequenz und mit Oberwellen der Grundfrequenz zu erzeugen.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a hearing aid with at least one sound receiver and a sound generator. The hearing aid has an audio signal unit operatively connected to the sound generator, wherein the audio signal unit is designed to generate an audio signal that can be recognized by a human ear. The audio signal has a plurality of mutually different frequencies of a frequency range. The audio signal unit has at least one tone signal generator. The at least one tone signal generator is configured to generate the audio signal with at least one fundamental frequency representing a tone and with harmonics of the fundamental frequency.
