Abstract

Die akustischen Eigenschaften von so genannten Instant Fit Ohrstücken, die im Gegensatz zu Otoplastiken nicht individuell angefertigt werden, sollen bei der Hörgeräteanpassung an einen individuellen Träger besser berücksichtigt werden können. Hierzu wird ein Verfahren vorgeschlagen, bei dem eine OLG-Messung, d. h. eine Open Loop Gain-Messung des Hörgeräts im getragenen Zustand ausgeführt wird (S1). Die gewonnene OLG-Messkurve wird mit einer OLG-Referenzkurve (S2) verglichen (S3). Aus dem Vergleich wird ein Wert ermittelt (S4) der den Verschlussgrad des Hörgeräts oder deren Otoplastik im Ohr des Hörers repräsentiert. Anhand dieses Werts wird schließlich die Verstärkung des Hörgeräts korrigiert (S5). Außerdem wird eine entsprechende Anpassvorrichtung bereitgestellt. Somit kann auf einfache Weise der individuelle, aktuelle Verschlussgrad bei der Anpassung berücksichtigt werden.

The acoustic properties of so-called instant fit ear pieces, which are not custom-made in contrast to earmolds, should be better taken into account in the hearing aid fitting to an individual wearer. For this purpose, a method is proposed in which an OLG measurement, ie an open loop gain measurement of the hearing device is carried out in the worn state (S1). The obtained OLG measurement curve is compared with an OLG reference curve (S2) (S3). From the comparison, a value is determined (S4) which represents the degree of closure of the hearing device or its earmold in the ear of the listener. This value will eventually correct the amplification of the hearing aid (S5). In addition, a corresponding fitting device is provided. Thus, the individual, current degree of closure in the adjustment can be taken into account in a simple manner.
