Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hörinstrument, z.B. ein Hörgerät, das einen mechanischen, manuell betätigbaren Lautstärkesteller aufweist und dessen Lautstärke zusätzlich auch per Fernbedienung verstellt werden kann sowie ein Verfahren zur Verstellung der Lautstärke eines solchen Hörinstruments mittels des mechanischen, manuellen Lautstärkestellers. Der Lautstärkesteller ist als Drehregler mit fester Zuordnung der jeweiligen Drehstellung zu einer jeweiligen Lautstärkeeinstellung ausgeführt. Ein Verstellen per Fernbedienung verändert die Lautstärkeeinstellung, nicht jedoch die Stellung des Drehreglers. Dadurch ergibt sich das Problem, dass die normalerweise feste Zuordnung der jeweiligen Stellung des Drehreglers zur jeweiligen Lautstärkeeinstellung nicht mehr gegeben ist. Wenn nach Verstellung der Lautstärkeinstellung per Fernbedienung wieder eine Verstellung per Drehregler erfolgt, und dann die durch den Drehregler vorgegebene Lautstärke eingestellt wird, können daher unangenehme Lautstärkesprünge auftreten. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, solche Lautstärkesprüngen zu vermeiden. Dies erfolgt durch die folgenden Schritte: (S1) detektieren einer Veränderung der Drehstellung des Drehreglers, (S2) ermitteln einer Momentan-Drehstellung des Drehreglers während der Veränderung, (S3) vergleichen der Momentan-Drehstellung mit einer Vergleichs-Drehstellung, (S4) verändern der Lautstärkeeinstellung des Hörinstruments entsprechend der Momentan-Drehstellung nur dann, wenn die Momentan-Drehstellung mindestens vorübergehend die Vergleichs-Drehstellung eingenommen hat.

The invention relates to a hearing instrument, for example a hearing aid, which has a mechanical, manually operable volume control and whose volume can also be adjusted by remote control and a method for adjusting the volume of such a hearing instrument by means of the mechanical, manual volume control. The volume control is designed as a rotary knob with a fixed assignment of the respective rotational position to a respective volume setting. Adjusting by remote control changes the volume setting, but not the position of the rotary control. This results in the problem that the normally fixed assignment of the respective position of the rotary control is no longer given to the respective volume setting. If, after adjusting the volume setting by remote control, an adjustment by means of rotary control again takes place, and then the volume set by the rotary control is adjusted, unpleasant volume jumps can occur. The object of the invention is to avoid such volume jumps. This is done by the following steps: (S1) detecting a change in the rotary position of the rotary control, (S2) determining a momentary rotary position of the rotary control during the change, (S3) comparing the instantaneous rotary position with a comparison rotary position, (S4) change the volume setting of the hearing instrument according to the instantaneous rotational position only if the instantaneous rotational position has at least temporarily assumed the comparison rotational position.
