Abstract

Ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines digitalen programmierbaren Hörgerätes (10, 30) zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sowohl eine Übertragungskennlinie einer normalen Verstärkung (6) sowie eine Übertragungskennlinie einer maximalen Verstärkung (7) eines Audiosignals über der Frequenz nahezu frei konfigurierbar sind. Bei einer Veränderung der Verstärkung durch Einstellungen am Hörgerät sowie durch Parameter, die aus der Signalverarbeitung resultieren, wird die Verstärkung stets für das Gesamtsystem unter Einbeziehung aller Parameter errechnet und gegebenenfalls auf die maximale Verstärkung bei der jeweiligen Frequenz begrenzt, falls diese sonst überschritten würde.
