摘要： In a signal processing unit (a) of a hearing device (1) the signal processing unit (8) consisting of a signal analyzing unit (9) and a signal identification unit (10), the momentary acoustic surround situation is identified. Based on this identified surroun situation, the parameter set (7) belonging to the identified surround situation is automatically adjusted in a transmission unit (5) 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 (11). Thereby, the parameter of this parameter set are adjusted at the same time and commnnly in one of two opposing directions, e.g. in the sense of “better hearing” or in the sense of “more pleasant understanding”.

摘要： For modifying or adapting at least one basic hearing aid setting such as volume, low/high frequency balance etc., it is suggested that at particular time intervals at least one current user-selected setting entered on the hearing aid is registered and combined or linked with the existing basic setting in or on the hearing aid by means of a predefined algorithm in order to arrive at a new basic setting and to store same in or on the hearing aid. The current user setting is acquired for instance in sound-specific fashion, i.e. with reference to a specific registered sound category or at least one hearing-related ambient parameter, and is linked with the corresponding, associated sound-specific basic setting in order to arrive at the new sound-specific basic setting.

摘要： The method for providing a user of a hearing device with speech sound comprises the step of a) providing in the hearing device speech-representing data representative of speech-bound contents. The speech-bound contents is encoded in said speech-representing data in a compressed way by means of a set of encoded-speech-segment data, wherein each of the encoded-speech-segment data of the set is indicative of one speech segment, and wherein the speech-representing data comprise a multitude of the encoded-speech-segment data.And it also comprises the steps of b) deriving from the multitude of the encoded-speech-segment data audio signals representative of the speech-bound contents by composing audio signal segments derived by decoding the multitude of encoded-speech-segment data; and c) converting the so-derived audio signals into speech sound by means of an output converter of the hearing device. Preferably, the encoded-speech-segment data are MIDI data, wherein MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. For example, the speech-bound contents is the contents of an audio book or news to which the user wants to listen.
