Abstract

Die Erfindung gibt ein Verfahren und ein zugehöriges Hörgerät zur Ermittlung von Nässe auf einem Abdeckmittel (8) einer Mikrofonöffnung (7) eines Hörgerätegehäuses (2) an. Das Verfahren umfasst die Schritte:,
- Ermitteln (100) eines von einem Hörer (5) stammenden akustischen Parameters (R) in einem Mikrofonsignal (18) eines unter dem Abdeckmittel (8) angeordneten Mikrofons (3),
- Vergleichen (101) des ermittelten akustischen Parameters (R) mit einem für Nässe auf dem Abdeckmittel (8) charakteristischen Referenzparameter (RR) und
- Abgeben (103) eines Nässesignals (17), wenn der ermittelte akustische Parameter (R) innerhalb eines vorgebbaren Toleranzbereichs des Referenzparameters (RR) liegt.The invention specifies a method and an associated hearing device for detecting moisture on a covering means (8) of a microphone opening (7) of a hearing aid housing (2). The method comprises the steps:
Determining (100) an acoustic parameter (R) originating from a receiver (5) in a microphone signal (18) of a microphone (3) arranged below the covering means (8),
Comparing (101) the determined acoustic parameter (R) with a reference parameter (RR) characteristic for moisture on the covering means (8) and
- outputting (103) a wetting signal (17) if the determined acoustic parameter (R) lies within a predefinable tolerance range of the reference parameter (RR).

Die Erfindung bietet den Vorteil, dass ohne zusätzliche Bauteile Nässe auf einem Abdeckmittel detektiert werden kann.
