Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling a plurality of adjustable operational parameters of a hearing aid by the movement of an external magnetic actuator into and out of proximity with the hearing aid. The hearing aid has a microphone, hearing aid circuitry, an output transducer, and a magnetic switch, such as a reed switch, connected to the hearing aid circuitry. The hearing aid circuitry has a plurality of adjustable operational parameters and includes control processing circuity for switching between and controlling the adjustable operational parameters. The magnetic source is moved into and out of proximity with the hearing aid a selected number of times activating the magnetic switch each time. The control processing circuitry is configured to switch between the adjustable operational parameters on sequential activations of the magnetic switch for selection of an operational parameter to adjust the selected adjustable operational parameter after the activation of the magnetic switch is maintained a predetermined amount of time.

Abstract: A control circuit for a portable radio or like entertainment device which allows it to play only so long as the user's heart rate lies within a range commensurate with safe, effective exercise activity. EKG signals are picked up by suitably placed electrodes, amplified, filtered, shaped and applied in one arrangement to a programmable microprocessor and in another arrangement to a linear circuit phase lock loop and window comparator. In each instance, a determination is made as to whether the user's heart rate is between a lower limit of effective exercise and an upper limit of safe exercise. When the heart rate is outside the limit, the entertainment device is rendered inoperative, thus providing an incentive to tailor the level of exertion so that the heart rate will lie within the desired range.
