Abstract

Die Erfindung gibt ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Hörgeräts (1) und ein zugehöriges Hörgerät an, wobei durch das Hörgerät (1) aus einem aufgenommenen Umgebungsschall (s1, s2, s3) elektrische Akustiksignale (s1', s2', s3') erzeugt werden, die entsprechend ihrem Zugehörigkeitsgrad zu einer vorgebbaren Akustiksignalklasse gewichtet und zu einem Ausgangsschallsignal (s) zusammengemischt werden. Das Gewicht (g1, g2, g3) des Akustiksignals (s1", s2', s3') ist umso größer oder umso kleiner, je höher der Zugehörigkeitsgrad ist.

Figure imgaf001
The invention specifies a method for operating a hearing device (1) and an associated hearing device, electrical acoustic signals (s1 ', s2', s3 ') being generated by the hearing device (1) from a recorded ambient sound (s1, s2, s3) , Which are weighted according to their degree of membership to a predeterminable acoustic signal class and mixed together to form an output sound signal (s). The weight (g1, g2, g3) of the acoustic signal (s1 ", s2 ', s3') is greater or smaller, the higher the degree of membership.
