摘要： A hearing aid (100) fits in an ear of a user and amplifies a sound and outputs the amplified sound. Specifically, the hearing aid includes: a microphone (110) as a pick-up unit which picks up the sound; a wireless communicating unit (130) which receives, from an external apparatus connected via wireless, an instruction for outputting a searching sound, the instruction for outputting a searching sound which is used for outputting a searching sound; an amplifier (140) which amplifies the outputted sound; an earphone (150) as an outputting unit which outputs the sound amplified by the amplifier (140); and an operation switching unit (120) which switches between a hearing mode and a searched mode, the hearing mode causing the amplifier (140) to amplify a hearing sound which is a sound picked up by the microphone (110) with a use of a first amplification factor, and the searched mode causing the amplifier (140) to amplify the searching sound, in response to the reception of the instruction for outputting a searching sound, with a use of a second amplification factor greater than the first amplification factor.

摘要： The hearing aid makes conversation sound easier to hear. The hearing aid device (100) comprises a first audio controller (40) that receives a center signal (C), a left-front signal (L), a right-front signal (R), a left-rear signal (SL), and a right-rear signal (SR), and second audio controller (20) that receives the output signal from the first audio controller (40). The first audio controller (40) has a sound image localization processor (42) that locates a sound image in a specific direction with respect to the left-front signal (L), the right-front signal (R), the left-rear signal (SL), and the right-rear signal (SR). The second audio controller (20) has a first amplifier (21) that amplifies the output signal from the sound image localization processor (42), and a hearing aid processor (22) that amplifies the center signal (C) according to the hearing ability of the user of the hearing aid device (100), and outputs the output signal from the first amplifier (21) and the output signal from the hearing aid processor (22) as sound.
