Abstract

Durch die fortschreitende Miniaturisierung und den zunehmenden Tragekomfort bei Hörhilfegeräten (HG 1, HG 2) besteht zunehmend die Gefahr, dass ein am oder im Ohr eines Benutzers getragenes Hörhilfegerät (HG 1, HG 2) von dem Benutzer unbemerkt verloren geht. Deshalb wird vorgeschlagen, bei einem Hörhilfegerätesystem mit wenigstens einem ersten und einem zweiten am Kopf oder Körper eines Benutzers tragbaren Gerät (HG 1, HG 2, RCU) einen zuverlässigen und für den Benutzer leicht handhabbaren elektronischen Verlierschutz vorzusehen. Hierzu kontrolliert beispielsweise ein erstes Hörhilfegerät (HG 1) das Vorhandensein einer Funkverbindung bzw. den Signalpegel eines von einem zweiten, Hörhilfegerät (HG 2) gesendeten und in dem ersten Hörhilfegerät (HG 1) empfangenen Signals. Reißt die Funkverbindung zu dem zweiten Hörhilfegerät (HG 2) ab oder unterschreitet der Signalpegel des empfangenen Signals einen Schwellenwert, so wird von dem ersten Hörhilfegeräte (HG 1) durch dessen Signalverarbeitungseinheit (7) und den Hörer (8) ein Informationssignal erzeugt, das den Benutzer über den Verlust des zweiten Hörhilfegeräts (HG 2) informiert.

Due to the progressive miniaturization and the increasing wearing comfort in hearing aids (HG 1, HG 2), there is an increasing danger that a hearing aid worn on or in the ear of a user (HG 1, HG 2) will be unnoticed by the user. Therefore, it is proposed that in a hearing aid device system having at least a first and a second device (HG 1, HG 2, RCU) that can be worn on the head or body of a user, a reliable and easy-to-handle electronic loss prevention device be provided. For this purpose, for example, a first hearing aid device (HG 1) controls the presence of a radio link or the signal level of a signal transmitted by a second hearing aid device (HG 2) and received in the first hearing aid device (HG 1). If the radio connection to the second hearing aid device (HG 2) breaks or the signal level of the received signal falls below a threshold value, then an information signal is generated by the first hearing aid device (HG 1) by its signal processing unit (7) and the earpiece (8) User informed about the loss of the second hearing aid (HG 2).
