Abstract

Hörvorrichtungen und insbesondere Hörgeräte sind möglichst klein zu gestalten. Daher wird vorgeschlagen, eine Hörvorrichtung mit einer Programmierbuchse, die mindestens einen ersten Anschluss (NData)und einen zweiten Anschluss (NClock) aufweist, einer Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung (21'), die an den zweiten Anschluss (NClock) angeschlossen ist, sowie einer Steuereinrichtung auszustatten. Die Steuereinrichtung greift das Potential des ersten Anschlusses (NData) ab. Außerdem schaltet die Steuereinrichtung die Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung (21') in eine erste Funktion, wenn der erste Anschluss (NData) auf dem vorgegebenen Potential liegt, und in eine zweite Funktion, wenn das Potential des ersten Anschlusses (NData) von dem vorgegebenen Potential abweicht. Hierdurch lässt sich beispielsweise der Eingang eines Programmierinterface (PI) eines Signalverarbeitungs-IC (21') mehrfach nutzen.

Hearing devices and in particular hearing aids are to be made as small as possible. Therefore, it is proposed to provide a hearing device with a programming socket which has at least one first connection (NData) and one second connection (NClock), a signal processing device (21 ') which is connected to the second connection (NClock) and a control device. The control device uses the potential of the first terminal (NData). In addition, the control means switches the signal processing means (21 ') to a first function when the first terminal (NData) is at the predetermined potential and to a second function when the potential of the first terminal (NData) deviates from the predetermined potential. As a result, for example, the input of a programming interface (PI) of a signal processing IC (21 ') can be used multiple times.
