摘要： Monitoring usage of a hearing device includes: c) checking whether a message has been received within a time period (dt) shorter than a pre-defined time period (Dt) via a long-distance communication network in a remote device; and d) generating usage status data dependent on the result of the checking addressed in step c). The usage status data are indicative of the usage of the hearing device, indicating “use” if the time period (dt) is smaller than or equal to the pre-defined time period (Dt) and indicating “non-use” if the time period (dt) is larger than the pre-defined time period (Dt). The message includes identification data for identifying the hearing device or a user of said hearing device. The remote device is located remote from the hearing device and connected to the long-distance communication network. The time period (dt) starts from a start event.

摘要： In order to switch between different hearing programs to adjust to a momentary acoustic surround situation, a method is provided to operate a hearing device as well as a hearing device. Signals, or parameters of a transfer function, are changed smoothly in order to form a smooth transition from a momentary to a desired value. Thereby, the advantage is obtained to eliminate undesired abrupt switching operation when a hearing program switching is necessary.

摘要： A method is described to operate a hearing device with an input transducer (1), a signal processing unit (2) and an output transducer (4). The method comprises the steps of converting an acoustic input signal into a converted input signal, processing the converted input signal in a main signal path in order to obtain a main output signal, and supplying the main output signal to an output transducer. By processing the converted input signal in a side signal path to obtain a side path output signal, and by superimposing the side path output signal on the main output signal, wherein a group delay of a signal traveling through the side signal path is smaller than a group delay of a signal traveling through the main signal path, the localization problems are eliminated. At the same time, the hearing device according to the present invention can still have a very high performance. In short terms, a “zero-delay-high-performance” hearing device has been created by the present invention.
