  • From the EP 1 420 611 A1 is a method and a hearing aid is known in which a program switching depending on the current listening environment in which the hearing aid is located takes place.
  • a hearing aid by operating a corresponding control element, eg a program selection button, from a hearing program with a specific program number (eg P2) to the hearing program with the next higher program number (eg P3) and from the hearing program with the highest program number (eg P5 ) to the hearing program with the lowest program number (eg P1).
  • a corresponding control element eg a program selection button
  • a hearing device with a memory in which a plurality of parameter sets (so-called “hearing programs”) are stored for adaptation of the signal processing in the hearing device to different listening situations.
  • a program selection key By pressing a program selection key or by analyzing an acoustic input signal, a parameter set is selected, which then determines the signal processing in the hearing aid.
  • the known hearing aid system comprises an adaptation device which comprises a memory for a plurality of parameter sets available for the selection of the signal processing for each hearing situation.
  • the known hearing aid system is characterized in that several parameter sets are stored for a listening situation. Thus, several parameter sets can be tried out for each hearing situation until, finally, a parameter set is selected for each hearing situation and stored in the hearing aid.
  • EP 0 349 835 A1 is a hearing aid with an actuator for changing the acoustic gain setting and a mode switch for two or more modes known.
  • the actuating element for the acoustic gain setting can be selected via the mode switch further adjustment functions.
  • the object of the present invention is to simplify the operation of a hearing aid.
  • a hearing aid or hearing aid system with an input transducer for receiving an input signal and conversion into an electrical signal, a signal processing unit for processing the electrical signal, an output transducer for outputting an output, an operating device having at least one actuatable operating element for setting parameters which influence the signal processing in the signal processing unit, and analysis means for analyzing the input signal in that the operating element is dependent on the result the signal analysis are assigned different setting functions.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to offer the user of a hearing aid device a multiplicity of manual adjustment possibilities of the hearing aid device and nevertheless to make the operation as simple as possible.
  • the control elements are automatically assigned different setting functions as a function of the acoustic environment in which the hearing device is currently located. If the hearing aid device is equipped, for example, with a program selection button, an automatic program adjustment as a result of the analysis of the input signal can initially take place. By pressing the program selection button further hearing programs can then be selected manually, with each operation of the program selection button is switched only between those programs that are suitable for the detected hearing situation.
  • the hearing aid wearer can be offered more program alternatives than in known hearing aids, in which the hearing aid wearer would have to go through a large number of hearing aids that are not suitable for the current hearing situation when using a program selection key in order to arrive at the appropriate settings.
  • the invention restricts the selection to the hearing programs suitable for the hearing situation.
  • the invention is not limited to the program selection in executable by pressing a control adjustment function. Rather, it extends to any controls and adjustment functions.
  • a normally used as a volume control operating element During the recognized hearing situation "conversation with noise" serve to adjust the contrast enhancement.
  • the analysis of the acoustic environment in which the hearing aid is currently in a known manner by the determination of characteristic parameters, for example, concern the signal level, the modulation depth or the spectral distribution of an acoustic input signal.
  • characteristic parameters for example, concern the signal level, the modulation depth or the spectral distribution of an acoustic input signal.
  • at least one control element is assigned a setting function that makes sense for this listening environment.
  • One embodiment of the invention relates to a hearing aid system having a hearing aid device and a control device designed as a remote control.
  • wireless data transmission takes place between the remote control and the hearing aid.
  • the analysis of the acoustic input signal for determining the listening environment in the remote control done.
  • the remote control provides more space for the attachment of controls than a hearing aid, yet it should be as inconspicuous carrying in the pocket and to improve clarity as small as possible and equipped with only a few controls.
  • it includes buttons for direct selection of four hearing programs.
  • these four selection keys are then assigned to the hearing programs which are suitable for the hearing situation determined, that is, when one of the four keys is actuated, one of four hearing programs matching the detected auditory situation is activated in the hearing aid.
  • a development of the invention provides that the manual readjustments of the hearing aid device made by the user in a specific listening environment are evaluated. Considered over a longer period of time, the hearing aid thus learns the preferences of the respective user, so that they can be taken into account in the automatic adjustment of the signal processing parameters. A manual readjustment is therefore increasingly necessary.
  • Fig. 1 shows a hearing aid in a simplified block diagram with a microphone 1 for receiving an acoustic input signal and output of an electrical signal.
  • the electrical signal is fed to a signal processing unit 2 for processing and frequency-dependent amplification.
  • the processed signal is finally converted by means of a receiver 3 into an acoustic signal and fed to the hearing of a hearing aid wearer.
  • the hearing aid device further comprises a memory 4 in which a plurality of parameter sets for adapting the signal processing unit 2 to different hearing situations are stored.
  • the selection of a parameter set, which determines the signal processing for the current hearing situation can be done manually or automatically.
  • the hearing aid comprises an analysis unit 5, in which the electrical signal emitted by the microphone 1 is analyzed.
  • the analysis unit 5 controls a selection unit 6 by means of which the hearing program which is most suitable for the recognized hearing situation is selected.
  • the corresponding parameter set is read from the memory 4 and transmitted to the signal processing unit 2 and thus determines the signal processing.
  • the selected parameter set according to the invention a certain number of other parameter sets are selected, which also contain meaningful parameter settings for the current listening situation.
  • the operating device is designed as a key switch 7.
  • This also supplies a signal to the selection unit 6, the selection unit 6 limiting the selection to the parameter sets which are suitable for the recognized auditory situation.
  • the key switch 7 is then switched according to the invention only between the four selected parameter sets, in such a way that is switched from the automatically set and designated as the first parameter set parameter set to the next higher parameter set by this from the memory is read out and transmitted to the signal processing unit 2.
  • the preselected parameter sets can be selected in this way in sequence, with the fourth selected parameter set on renewed actuation of the key switch 7 again the first parameter set follows.
  • the operation of the hearing aid remains simple and manageable, even if a plurality of adjustable parameter sets is stored in the memory 4.
  • four parameter sets ie a total of 32 parameter sets, can be stored there for eight different listening situations, of which then only the four parameter sets suitable for the current auditory situation can be set by the push-button switch 7.
  • the executable with the key switch 7 adjustment function is limited in this embodiment, then on the switching between the four meaningful for the automatically detected listening situation parameter sets.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the settings made by a user by actuation of the key switch 7 for the different listening situations are detected and evaluated, so that the automatic Selection over time is adjusted to the user's preferences.
  • the parameter sets for controlling the signal processing are advantageously transmitted to the hearing aid and in particular into the memory 4 by programming the hearing aid by means of an external programming unit (not shown). Furthermore, it can be determined by programming the hearing aid device which adjustment functions are assigned to a control element in the respective hearing situation.
  • Fig. 2 shows a hearing aid system with a portable behind the ear hearing aid 10 and a remote control 11.
  • the remote control 11 includes four program selection buttons 12, 13, 14 and 15, by the operation of each one of the respective program selection button associated parameter set from a memory 16 of the remote control 11 read and wireless is transmitted to the hearing aid 10. This then determines the signal processing in the hearing aid device 10.
  • the memory 16 a plurality of parameter sets is stored, for example, four sets of parameters for eight different listening situations.
  • the remote control 11 comprises a microphone 17 and an analysis unit 18, in which an analysis of the received from the microphone 17 acoustic input signal takes place.
  • the four parameter sets which are best suited for the recognized auditory situation are preselected and assigned to the program selection keys 12 to 15.
  • the remote control 11 further comprises a rocker switch 19, through which a change in the volume setting is usually feasible.
  • a different adjustment function than the volume adjustment is performed by means of the rocker switch 19.
  • the rocker 19 is used in the listening situation "conversation in a noisy environment" to adjust the contrast enhancement.
