Abstract: A hearing instrument has an earpiece for inserting in an auditory canal and has an expandable balloon. In the earpiece is arranged a receiver and which earpiece enables additional connections for acoustic signals and compressed air. The earpiece contains a case, a receiver and a balloon. The case has a proximal case segment and a distal case segment. The receiver is arranged between the two case segments. The two case segments mechanically fix the receiver and are connected to one another in a sealed manner. A sound channel and an air supply channel, which are separate from each other, are formed between receiver and case, the wall of each channel being formed both by the receiver and by the case. A sound exit aperture is provided, which is connected to a receiver output aperture of the receiver and to the sound channel. The balloon is connected to the air supply channel.

Abstract: A method operates a hearing system and contains a hearing device, a remote interaction unit having a user interface for inputting a hearing-system-related user query, a linguistic data processing section coupled to the user interface, and a data cloud, coupled to the linguistic data processing section, and has a database that stores responses for the user query. The input of a hearing-device-related user query results in a content of the user query being analyzed by the linguistic data processing section and a query being sent to the data cloud. The data cloud takes the query as a basis for selecting a response from the database. The response is sent to the linguistic data processing section. The linguistic data processing section takes the response as a basis for generating an output and sends the output to the remote interaction unit, and the output is output by the remote interaction unit.

Abstract: A method operates an antenna arrangement having a main antenna and an auxiliary antenna. The main antenna and the auxiliary antenna are each adjustable with regard to a number of antenna parameters. The number of adjustable antenna parameters of the auxiliary antenna is higher than in the main antenna. While the main antenna is operated in a transmit and/or receive mode: at least one antenna parameter of the auxiliary antenna is changed, a measure characterizing the operation of the auxiliary antenna is determined, depending on the measure, the antenna parameters of the auxiliary antenna are converted into target antenna parameters for the main antenna, and the antenna parameters of the main antenna are adjusted during the transmit and/or receive mode using the target antenna parameters.

Abstract: A hearing device includes at least one microphone configured to capture sound signals within an overall frequency range and to convert them into an input signal. A signal processor is provided for processing the input signal within a lower frequency range that is part of an overall frequency range. A detector is provided for detecting a noise that has frequency components both inside and outside the lower frequency range, namely in an upper frequency range above the lower frequency range. The hearing device is configured in such a way that the detector detects the noise based on its frequency component in the upper frequency range. A method for operating a hearing device is also provided.

Abstract: A method for eliminating acoustic reverberation in an audio signal. First and second level measurements are performed on the audio signal. The first level measurement uses a first attack parameter and a first decay parameter to measure a first attack time and a first decay time. The second level measurement uses a second attack parameter and a second decay parameter to form a second attack time that is identical to the first attack time and a second decay time that is longer than the first decay time. A difference between the first and second level measurements is calculated. The difference and the second level measurement are used to estimate a reverberation interference level, and the first level measurement and the reverberation interference level are used to ascertain a gain parameter for the audio signal.

Abstract: A method operates a hearing device system which has a hearing aid and a peripheral device which provides a voice-controlled digital assistant. A microphone signal from the hearing aid is examined for own voice components of the wearer of the hearing aid. If own voice components are detected by the hearing aid the microphone signal is examined for a pre-defined activation command for the digital assistant. If the activation command is recognized, a portion of the microphone signal representing the activation command and a subsequent speech sequence is processed by the hearing aid for a speech recognizer of the digital assistant using an algorithm. The processed portion of the microphone signal is transmitted to the peripheral device.

Abstract: A method for operating a smart mobile device. The method includes checking for or ascertaining the presence of a device known to the mobile device by way of a radio module in a locked state of the mobile device, in which manual access to the data content thereof is disabled. In the event that the presence of the known device is detected, an ultra-wideband radio connection is used to ascertain whether the known device is within a predefined distance from the mobile device. The locked state of the mobile device is canceled if the known device is within the predefined distance.

Abstract: A state of health of a battery cell used in a hearing instrument is ascertained. For each of a plurality of charging cycles, a battery manager of the hearing instrument ascertains a charge transferred to the battery cell and a number of charging characteristic values that provides information about the change in a state of charge of the battery cell brought about by the charge. Based on the transferred charge and the charging characteristic values a capacity characteristic value is ascertained that forms a characteristic variable for a present charging capability of the battery cell. A signal processor averages respective capacity characteristic values of at least some past charging cycles at a specific time and calculates an averaged charging capacity. The averaged charging capacity is compared with a reference value representing an original capacity of the battery cell to determine the state of health of the battery cell.
