摘要： The present invention relates to a method for recording information in a hearing device and/or in a recording unit at least temporally operationally connected to the hearing device. The method consists in that a point in time of the recording and/or a recording frequency as well as the information to be recorded, as data and/or parameters and/or adjustments of the hearing device are adjusted freely or are programmable, respectively. Furthermore, a hearing device is described that is suitable to use the method. By the present invention, a multitude of the parameters being adjustable in a hearing device can be checked or surveyed all together or selectively in real, i.e. actually existing acoustic environments in order to optimally adjust or adapt the hearing device afterwards, that means after the analysis by the fitter, for example.

摘要： The method for operating a hearing device having an adjustable transfer function comprising M sub-functions, wherein M is an integer with M≧1, and wherein said transfer function describes how input audio signals generated by an input transducer unit of said hearing device relate to output audio signals to be fed to an output transducer unit of said hearing device, comprises the steps of: deriving said input audio signals from a current acoustic environment; and for each of said M sub-functions: deriving, on the basis of said input audio signals and for each class of N classes each of which describes a predetermined acoustic environment, a class similarity factor indicative of the similarity of said current acoustic environment with the predetermined acoustic environment described by the respective class, wherein N is an integer with N≧2; deriving from N predetermined base parameter sets assigned to the respective sub-function and in dependence of said class similarity factors an activity parameter set for the respective sub-function, wherein each of said N base parameter sets assigned to the respective sub-function is assigned to a different class of said N classes; adjusting the respective sub-function by means of said activity parameter set. It is suggested to use a time-averaged activity parameter set. An improved adaptation of the hearing device to a current acoustic environment can be achieved.

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： 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： 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.
