摘要： In a method for manufacturing a hearing device, by registering characteristics of an individual (I) a personality vector (K(CI)) is established in a fitting machine. The personality vector (K(CI)) of the individual (I) momentarily involved is compared with stored personality vectors (K1(C) to Kn(C)). That stored personality vector which is most similar to that of the individual (I) is selected and therefrom a personality profile (PP) which is assigned to such personality vector. There is assigned to the personality profile which accords to the most similar personality vector, a respective fitting vector which controls subsequent manufacturing of the hearing device.

摘要： In a signal processing unit of a hearing device, the signal processing unit consisting of a signal analyzing unit and a signal identification unit, the momentary acoustic surround situation is identified. Based on this identified surround situation, the parameter set belonging to the identified surround situation is automatically adjusted in a transmission unit in which a number of parameter sets are saved which are assigned to different acoustic surround situation. The hearing device user can adjust his individual hearing desire for each acoustic surround situation according to the automatic adjusted parameter set with the aid of an input unit. Thereby, the parameter of this parameter set are adjusted at the same time and commonly in one of two opposing directions, e.g. in the sense of “better hearing” or in the sense of “more pleasant understanding”.

摘要： A method for adjusting a hearing device is disclosed in which one of several hearing programs can be selected, as well as a hearing device system to perform the method. The method comprises the steps of identifying a momentary acoustic surround situation and of arranging the selectable hearing programs according to the identified momentary acoustic surround situation. Therewith, the hearing device user is not obliged to know a predefined sequence of the selectable hearing programs; instead the hearing device user may easily select a hearing program which is regarded as the best one for the momentary acoustic situation. The selection is offered by the hearing device by analyzing the momentary acoustic situation. In addition, the hearing device user may easily select other hearing programs, namely by generating an activation signal, for example by pressing a button at the hearing device itself or at a remote control. For this, the automatic arrangement of the hearing programs in dependency of the momentary acoustic situation facilitates the selection dramatically.

摘要： A hearing device has an acoustical/electrical input converter, and electrical/mechanical output converter, and a digital signal processing unit connected between the input converter and output converter. The device is adapted to a specific ear of a specific individual. The signal processing unit is controllable in at least two operating modes. In a first mode, the device is substantially acoustically transparent. The processing unit is controlled in the first mode by a dedicated program module independent of any further program module for any other operating mode. Alternatively the processing unit is controlled in the first mode by a program operating in the first mode controlled by a dedicated set of parameters independent of any further set of parameters for any other operating mode.

摘要： A hearing device has an electrical/acoustical output converter that communicates with ambient air through a membrane. The membrane separates two spaces. Each space communicates with ambient air through a passage that substantially blocks acoustical signals in the range of the audible spectrum and passes acoustical signals at a frequency lower than the audible spectrum.
