Abstract: A method operates a hearing aid device, in particular a tinnitus treatment device. The hearing device has a microphone and a receiver, which can be inserted into an auditory canal of a user or is arranged at least in part in the auditory canal. Wherein active noise control of an acoustic environmental signal, which can be received by the microphone, is achieved at one or more tinnitus frequencies of a user by generating an acoustic cancellation signal from the receiver in the auditory canal of the user.

Abstract: A method operates a binaural hearing aid system with first and second hearing aids. A first audio signal of the first hearing aid is divided into a first high-frequency component and a first low-frequency component. A second audio signal of the second hearing aid is divided into a second high-frequency component and a second low-frequency component. A first provisional division frequency is specified for the division of the first audio signal into the first high-frequency component and the first low-frequency component. A second provisional division frequency is specified for the division of the second audio signal into the second high-frequency component and the second low-frequency component. A division frequency is defined on the basis of the first provisional division frequency and the second provisional division frequency. The first and second audio signals are divided at the division frequency into respective high-frequency components and low-frequency components.

Abstract: A method performs frequency distortion of an audio signal. The audio signal is divided at at least one division frequency into a low-frequency band and a high-frequency band. A frequency-distorted signal is generated through respectively different distortions of frequencies for the high-frequency band and for the low-frequency band. The division frequency is selected such that it is located between two neighboring tones of a given tonal system.

Abstract: A hearing device contains a hearing device housing, which is insertable into an auditory canal of a person wearing the hearing device and which has a through-opening leading to the interior of the hearing device housing. The hearing device has a wax guard which is inserted into the through-opening and serves to protect against dirt, and wax, entering the hearing device housing. The guard contains a filter housing, which carries a filter element. At least one aperture is formed in a peripheral wall of the filter housing, which peripheral wall, in the correct insertion state, faces toward a peripheral wall of the hearing device housing delimiting the through-opening, and, in order to carry way and/or take up dirt, the aperture communicates with at least one hollow space arranged in the hearing device housing.

Abstract: In a method for operating a hearing aid, an input signal is generated by way of one or more microphones. The input signal is amplified in an amplifier with an adjustable gain factor and output as an amplified input signal by way of a receiver. Furthermore, an OVD (own-voice-detection) parameter is established by an OVD unit. The OVD parameter specifies whether or not the user themselves is speaking. The gain factor is adjusted in a manner dependent on the OVD parameter and additionally adjusted in a manner dependent on noise, in particular stationary noise.

Abstract: A method for recognizing a beat for a hearing system includes converting an acoustic input signal into an electrical input signal in an input transducer. The electrical input signal is processed into an electrical output signal in a signal processing unit. The electrical output signal is converted into an output signal in an output transducer. A beat is recognized by analyzing the electrical input signal and the recognized beat is perceivably output to a hearing system user. A corresponding hearing system for recognizing a beat in the input signal and outputting the recognized beat in a perceivable manner is also provided.

Abstract: A hearing aid includes an acoustoelectric transducer, a signal processing device and an electroacoustic transducer. The signal processing device has a flexible printed circuit board provided with electronic components. The printed circuit board is bent to form an approximately G-shaped stacked configuration. The stacked configuration of the printed circuit board has three horizontal limbs disposed above one another along a stacking direction. The outer horizontal limbs are connected to one another by a first printed circuit board section and one of the outer limbs and the middle limb are connected to one another by a second printed circuit board section. The first printed circuit board section is reinforced along the stacking direction and the horizontal limbs in the stacked configuration are spaced apart from one another along the stacking direction.

Abstract: A hearing aid, in particular a BTE hearing aid, includes an ear insert having an earpiece and an attachment part being linked to a receiver. The earpiece includes an elongate adapter and a plurality of shields. The adapter is mounted on the attachment part and extends in a longitudinal direction. The earpiece is in a modular form and the at least one shield is exchangeably fitted onto the adapter. The adapter has a head with a rear abutment contour against which at least one of the shields abuts. In this way, the earpiece is particularly variably and flexibly configurable. A corresponding earpiece is also provided.
