Abstract

Zum Ermöglichen einer raschen, kundenabhängigen und exakten Anpassung der Richtcharakteristik einer Hörvorrichtung wird eine Hörvorrichtung (22) mit einer Signalverarbeitungseinheit (3) zum Ausführen eines Verarbeitungsalgorithmus bereitgestellt, wobei der Signalverarbeitungseinheit (3) mindestens ein konstruktionsbezogener Parameter der Hörvorrichtung (22) zur Verfügung gestellt ist, und die Signalverarbeitungseinheit (3) den Verarbeitungsalgorithmus auf der Grundlage des konstruktionsbezogenen Parameters der Hörvorrichtung (22) ausführt. Besonders vorteilhaft bei der erfindungsgemäßen Hörvorrichtung (22) ist der Umstand anzusehen, dass ein Verarbeitungsalgorithmus besonders exakt und kundenabhängig auf der Grundlage der bereitgestellten konstruktionsbezogenen Parameter der Hörvorrichtung (22) ausgeführt werden kann.

To enable a rapid, customer-dependent and exact adaptation of the directional characteristic of a hearing device, a hearing device (22) is provided with a signal processing unit (3) for executing a processing algorithm, the signal processing unit (3) having at least one design-related parameter of the hearing device (22) , and the signal processing unit (3) executes the processing algorithm based on the design-related parameter of the hearing apparatus (22). Particularly advantageous in the case of the hearing device (22) according to the invention is the circumstance that a processing algorithm can be executed particularly accurately and customer-dependent on the basis of the provided design-related parameters of the hearing device (22).
