Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hörgerät (1) mit einer Sturzsicherung umfassend einen Beschleunigungssensor (6), eine elektrische Schaltung (7) und einen Speicher (8). Der Beschleunigungssensor (6) erzeugt ein elektrisches Signal in Abhängigkeit von einer Beschleunigung des Hörgeräts (1). Dieses Signal wird zur elektrischen Schaltung (7) übertragen, die daraus eine ruckartige Beschleunigung des Hörgeräts (1) ermittelt. Im Fall einer ruckartigen Beschleunigung des Hörgeräts (1) sichert die elektrische Schaltung (7) die jeweils aktuellen Einstellungen des Hörgeräts (1) in den Speicher (8). Die Einstellungen können nach dem Sturz des Hörgeräts (1) aus dem Speicher (8) rekonstruiert werden, so dass im Ergebnis eine Änderung der Einstellungen des Hörgeräts (1) verhindert wird.

The invention relates to a hearing aid (1) with a fall protection comprising an acceleration sensor (6), an electrical circuit (7) and a memory (8). The acceleration sensor (6) generates an electrical signal in response to an acceleration of the hearing aid (1). This signal is transmitted to the electrical circuit (7), which determines a jerky acceleration of the hearing device (1). In the case of a sudden acceleration of the hearing aid (1), the electrical circuit (7) secures the respective current settings of the hearing aid (1) in the memory (8). The settings can be reconstructed after the fall of the hearing aid (1) from the memory (8), so that as a result, a change in the settings of the hearing aid (1) is prevented.
