Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for adaptation of a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 1, a hearing aid according to that of claim 3 and a manufacturing method according to that of claim 5.
- Hearing aids in particular in-the-ear hearing aids, have a Shaping with regard to their housing shape, which is often independent depends on whether a hearing aid viewed is on the left or to be worn on the right ear.
- the intended microphones on or in the ear and with respect of the head are applied in the specified position, for example, a microphone for receiving audio signals from the front must follow both the left and right ear to be in front.
- the role of the hearing aid is therefore made possible provided microphones switching with regard to signal processing to swap, so that only one set of the hearing aid during manufacture can be created and preferably only when the hearing aids are adjusted to an individual, switching, each desired active connection between the intended microphones the signal processing unit, ultimately the intended one Output converter on the hearing aid, is created.
- FIG 2 explains which schematically a hearing aid according to the invention shows the realization of the adaptation method according to the invention and manufactured according to the invention.
- 2 includes the hearing aid according to the invention has at least two microphones 3a and 3b, each of which is assigned an analog / digital converter 5a, 5b is. Between the digital outputs of the analog / digital converter 5a and 5b and the inputs of a signal processing unit 7 According to the invention, a switchover unit 9 is provided with a Control input S. On the switching unit 9, the outputs the microphones 3a, b with respect to the inputs of the signal processing unit 7, ultimately regarding their interaction to the electromechanical output transducer 11 of the hearing aid, switching interchanged.

Abstract
Description
Claims (5)
- Verfahren zur Links-/Rechts-Ohr-Anpassung eines Hörgerätes mit mindestens zwei Mikrophonen, welche über eine Signalverarbeitungseinheit mit mindestens einem Ausgangswandler des Hörgerätes wirkverbunden sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass man die Wirkverbindung der Mikrophone zum Ausgangswandler am fertiggestellten Hörgerät wahlweise umschaltet.
- Verfahren nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass man das Schalten der Mikrophone im Zuge der Hörgeräte-Anpassung an ein Individuum vornimmt.
- Hörgerät mit mindestens einem ersten Mikrophon, dessen Ausgang über eine Signalverarbeitungseinheit mittels einer ersten Wirkverbindung mit dem Eingang mindestens eines Ausgangswandlers des Hörgerätes verbunden ist,
einem zweiten Mikrophon, dessen Ausgang über die Signalverarbeitungseinheit mittels einer zweiten Wirkverbindung mit dem Eingang des mindestens einen Ausgangswandlers verbunden ist,
dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass den Ausgängen der Mikrophone sowie dem Eingang des Ausgangswandlers eine Umschalteinheit zwischengeschaltet ist, die den Ausgang des ersten Mikrophons über die erste oder über die zweite Wirkverbindung mit dem Eingang des Ausgangswandlers verbindet und dabei den Ausgang des zweiten Mikrophones über die zweite über die erste Wirkverbindung mit dem Eingang des Ausgangswandlers verbindet. - Hörgerät nach Anspruch 3 mit je den Mikrophonen zugeordneten Analog/Digital-Wandlern und einer den Analog/Digital-Wandlern nachgeschalteten digitalen Signalverarbeitungseinheit, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Umschalteinheit den Digitalausgängen der Analog/Digital-Wandler und den Eingängen der Signalverarbeitungseinheit zwischengeschaltet ist.
- Verfahren zur Herstellung von Hörgeräten für Links- und Rechts-Ohr-Anwendung mit mindestens zwei Mikrophonen sowie einer den Mikrophonen nachgeschalteten Signalverarbeitungseinheit, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass man die Hörgeräte identisch fertigt und geschaltet eine erste Wirkverbindung mit dem ersten oder mit dem zweiten Mikrophon erstellt und entsprechend eine zweite Wirkverbindung mit dem zweiten oder mit dem ersten Mikrophon.
