摘要： A method of conducting a fitting session for fitting a hearing device to a hearing device user's needs is provided. The method comprises S1. providing an estimate of, a current feedback from said output transducer to said input transducer, while the hearing device is in an operational state; S2. evaluating said estimate of a current feedback and providing a value of a feedback risk indicator in dependence of said estimate of a current feedback; S3. determining whether said value of the feedback risk indicator fulfils a high-risk criterion; and S4. if said high-risk criterion is fulfilled providing at least one of a warning, a recommendation, and an action in relation to said feedback risk. Steps S1 to S4 are configured to be automatically performed as background processes.Thereby a simplified scheme for fitting a hearing device to a user's needs may be provided.

摘要： A binaural hearing aid system comprises left and right hearing instruments each comprising a BTE-part comprising a housing configured to be located at or behind an outer ear of the user and an acceleration sensor configured to measure acceleration in at least two directions relative to the housing of the BTE-part and to provide acceleration data indicative thereof. A first one of the left and right hearing instruments comprises a transmitter configured to transmit said acceleration data to the other hearing instrument, and the other hearing instrument comprises a receiver for receiving said acceleration data from the first one of the hearing instruments. The other hearing instrument further comprises a controller for detecting whether or not the left and right hearing instruments are correctly mounted in dependence of a similarity measure between said acceleration data provided by the left and right hearing instruments. A method of operating a binaural hearing aid system is further disclosed.

摘要： A hearing aid includes an input unit, an output unit, a signal processing unit connected to said input unit and output unit, where the input unit, the signal processing unit and the output unit are forming part of a forward path of the hearing aid, where the signal processing unit is configured to apply a forward gain to the at least one electric input signal or a signal originating therefrom. The hearing aid further includes a feedback control unit configured to reduce a risk of howl due to acoustic, electrical, and/or mechanical feedback of an external feedback path from the output unit to the input unit of said hearing aid, where the hearing aid is configured to receive motion data characterising movement and/or acceleration and/or orientation and/or position of the hearing aid to control processing.

摘要： A method, in particular performed by at least one hearing device, a hearing device, a binaural hearing system, and a computer program are disclosed. The method can include detecting at least one motion signal of at least one hearing device, processing the at least one motion signal of the at least one hearing device in three individual channels representing three spatial dimensions x′, y′, z′ of the at least one hearing device, calibrating the orientation of the three spatial dimensions x′, y′, z′ of the at least one hearing device to a standardized orientation of the head of the user wearing the at least one hearing device, and determining the amount of motion of the at least one hearing device in at least one of the calibrated spatial dimensions x, y, z of the at least one hearing device.

摘要： A hearing aid configured to be worn by a user, the hearing aid comprising a user interface allowing the user to control functionality of the hearing aid, and a feedback sensor for repeatedly providing a feedback signal indicative of a current estimate of feedback from an output transducer to an input transducer of the hearing aid, wherein the user interface is based on changes to the current estimate of the feedback path, e.g. provided by the user. A method of operating a hearing aid is further disclosed. Thereby an alternative user interface for a hearing aid may be provided. The invention may e.g. be used in hearing aids or headsets, or a combination thereof.

The hearing aid further includes a feedback reduction unit configured to reduce risk of howl due to acoustic, electrical, and/or mechanical feedback of an external feedback path from the output unit to the input unit. The feedback reduction unit is configured to modulate the forward gain in time to provide that the forward gain exhibits an increased or unchanged forward gain in one or more first time periods and a reduced forward gain in one or more second time periods.
