Abstract

Die Empfindlichkeit von Hörgeräten gegenüber Wind soll weiter reduziert werden. Daher ist vorgesehen, jeweils einen Rauschpegel von mindestens zwei Mikrofonen (M1, M2, M3) zu messen (P) und die Pegel miteinander zu vergleichen (C). Entsprechend dem Vergleichsergebnis werden dann die Mikrofone (M1, M2, M3) angesteuert. Vorzugsweise wird dann dasjenige Mikrofon als Omnidirektionalmikrofon bei Wind eingesetzt, das den geringsten Rauschpegel besitzt.

The sensitivity of hearing aids to wind should be further reduced. Therefore, it is provided to measure each of a noise level of at least two microphones (M1, M2, M3) (P) and to compare the levels with each other (C). The microphones (M1, M2, M3) are then activated in accordance with the result of the comparison. Preferably, then that microphone is used as an omnidirectional microphone in wind, which has the lowest noise level.
