    Abstract: Method for providing sound to at least one user, involves supplying audio signals from an audio signal source to a transmission unit; compressing the audio signals to generate compressed audio data; transmitting compressed audio data from the transmission unit to at least one receiver unit; decompressing the compressed audio data to generate decompressed audio signals; and stimulating the hearing of the user(s) according to decompressed audio signals supplied from the receiver unit. During certain time periods, transmission of compressed audio data is interrupted, and instead, at least one control data block is generated by the transmission unit in such a manner that audio data transmission is replaced by control data block transmission, thereby temporarily interrupting flow of received compressed audio data, each control data block includes a marker recognized by the at least one receiver unit as a control data block and a command for control of the receiver unit.

    Abstract: A hearing assistance system having a hand-held audio signal wireless transmission unit for transmitting an audio signal to at least one receiver unit, and a hearing stimulating device. The transmission unit has at least one microphone for generating an audio signal, a motion sensor unit for sensing the acceleration acting on the transmission unit in three orthogonal axes and sensing the orientation of the transmission unit in space, a memory unit for storing a plurality of motion patterns of the transmission unit corresponding to gestures of a person holding the transmission unit in a hand, a control unit for identifying a motion pattern of the transmission unit from the stored motion patterns by analyzing the time dependence of an output signal of the motion sensor unit and comparing it to the stored motion patterns, and the control unit controlling operation of the transmission unit according to the identified motion pattern.
