Abstract

Bei einem Hörhilfegerät (2; 11, 11') werden zur Reduzierung rückkopplungsbedingter Oszillationen Mikrofonsignale eines ersten Mikrofons (1; 12) und eines beabstandeten zweiten Mikrofons (4; 12') miteinander verglichen. Werden in beiden Mikrofonsignalen Oszillationen bei derselben Frequenz detektiert, so handelt es sich dabei um tonale Nutzsignale. Oszillationen, die nur in einem der Mikrofonsignale vorhanden sind, sind dagegen rückkopplungsbedingt und werden durch geeignete Maßnahmen unterdrückt.
Das Hörgerätesystem kann aus zwei Hörhilfegeräten bestehen, wobei das erste Mikrofon im ersten Hörgerät und des zweite Mikrofon im zweiten Hörgerät angeordnet ist.
