Abstract: A computer program product and a hearing aid system for supporting a user of a hearing aid include individually adapting the hearing aid to the user in a first fitting session held in particular in the home country of the user and generating adaptation data during the first fitting session. The adaptation data is assigned to the user or to the hearing aid and stored in such a way that access to the adaptation data is restricted by an access restriction. A visit to a foreign country is automatically detected and a request is issued to the user to ascertain whether the access restriction should be changed when a visit to a foreign country is automatically detected.

Abstract: A hearing device system has a photoplethysmography sensor to be worn in the auditory canal in an intended worn state and an earpiece which at least partly covers the photoplethysmography sensor toward the auditory canal in the intended worn state. Moreover, the hearing device system has a controller which is configured to use light captured by the photoplethysmography sensor to derive a comparison quantity of the earpiece characteristic for a transmission of the earpiece, for a wavelength range of the photoplethysmography sensor, to compare the comparison quantity with a specified first limit and to output an alert if the limit is traversed by the comparison quantity.

Abstract: A hearing aid, in particular an in-the-ear hearing aid, includes a device housing having a housing shell insertable into an auditory canal and a housing front plate closing the housing shell. A battery is accommodated in the device housing. A signal processing device having a ground plane is disposed at least in sections between the battery and the housing front plate. An antenna device, having at least two folded antenna arms, is disposed between the ground plane and the housing front plate. The antenna arms extend as three-dimensional spirals or helices along a height direction perpendicular to the ground plane, and have at least one turn or pitch. The antenna arms are electrically connected to one another by antenna poles spaced apart from the ground plane.

Abstract: A method for operating a binaural hearing system having first and second hearing instruments includes using respective electroacoustic first and second input transducers of the first and second hearing instruments to generate first and second input signals from ambient sound. The first and second input signals are used to ascertain respective first and second instantaneous gain parameters. A first parameter of an automatic gain control for the first input signal and/or a second parameter of an automatic gain control for the second input signal is/are adjusted so that the adjustment results in a difference between the first and second instantaneous gain parameters being decreased. Signal processing for the first or second input signal using the thus adjusted first or second parameter of the automatic gain control is performed in the first or second hearing instrument. A binaural hearing system is also provided.

Abstract: A method for adapting signal processing parameters of a hearing instrument of a hearing system. A number of acoustic indicators (IndA) for a temporary environmental situation of a user of the hearing instrument is ascertained from an input signal generated by a transducer. A first sensor ascertains a number of peripheral indicators (IndP) for the existing temporary environmental situation. Based on the acoustic and peripheral indicators (IndA, IndP) the system determines whether the existing temporary environmental situation falls into a known class of temporary environmental situations. If it does not, a new class is defined with the respective ascertained acoustic and peripheral indicator(s) (IndA, IndP), and the plurality of signal processing parameters are assigned a corresponding plurality of parameter values, according to which the first input signal is to be processed to form the output signal upon the future existence of a temporary environmental situation from the new class.
