Abstract: A method for a protected sharing of data saved in a hearing system, which comprises at least a hearing device used by a hearing device user, with a third party device is presented. The method comprises: storing a definition of a first trusted party and of a second trusted party in the hearing system; providing a sharing request for the data to be shared to a device of the first trusted party and to a device of the second trusted party; generating a first sharing approval by the device of the first trusted party and a second sharing approval by the device of the second trusted party; and sharing the data with the third party device upon generation of the first and the second sharing approval.

Abstract: An illustrative system includes a hearing device and a charging device configured to provide a power signal to the hearing device while the hearing device is within a charging range of the charging device. The hearing device and the charging device are configured to establish a primary communication channel between the hearing device and the charging device and participate in an authenticated pairing procedure for the primary communication channel in which authentication information is transmitted from one device to the other by way of a secondary communication channel that allows for communication only over distances that are below a threshold distance.

Abstract: A hearing system comprising a hearing device and a connected device, wherein the hearing device comprises a microphone; a processor for processing a signal from the microphone; an output device for outputting the processed signal to an ear of the user; a memory for storing program code modules to be processed by the processor; and a transceiver for exchanging data with the connected device. In the memory of the hearing device a first set of program code modules and in the memory of the connected device a second set of program code modules different from the first set is stored. A program code module of the second set of program code modules is transferred from the connected device to the hearing device upon request from the hearing device or the connected device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for hearing devices with artifact mitigation. Some embodiments schedule, reschedule, or trigger, activities of a hearing device at points in time in order to achieve an artifact-free (or artifact-reduced) user experience. For example, some embodiments provide a method for scheduling reconfigurations of a hearing device to reduce an impact of resulting artifacts on a user experience. The method can include detecting a reconfiguration of operating characteristics (e.g., hardware or software) of a hearing device that will produce an artifact. Then, a masking event can be identified that can disguise the artifact produced by the reconfiguration of the operating characteristics. For example, the masking event can be an audio event from an audio signal received from a source external to the hearing device or a system notification generated by the hearing device. The reconfiguration can be scheduled or triggered so that the artifact is produced during the masking event.

Abstract: There is provided a personal device to be worn at the body of a user, comprising: an interface (20) for wireless data exchange with an external device (11, 39); at least one sensor (28, 42, 44, 46) for sensing a parameter indicative of the proximity of the personal device to the user; a use detection unit (40) for determining, by regularly analyzing signals received from the sensor(s), whether the personal device is presently worn by the user or not; and a control unit (38) for controlling operation of the personal device in a pairing disable mode as long as the use detection unit determines that the personal device is worn by the user and in a pairing enable mode as long as the use detection unit determines that the personal device is not worn by the user, wherein in the pairing disable mode the requirements for acceptance, by the personal device, of a pairing request received from an external device via the interface are more strict than in the pairing enable mode.

Abstract: A hearing device arrangement includes two hearing devices which are connected to each other in a data transmitting manner. Each hearing device includes an audio input unit for obtaining an input audio signal, a processing unit for audio signal processing of the input audio signal to obtain an output audio signal, a neural network which, when executed by the processing unit performs a processing step of the audio signal processing, and an audio output unit for outputting the output audio signal. The hearing device arrangement is configured to transmit neural network data of the neural network of at least one of the hearing devices to the respective other hearing device to be used in the audio signal processing by the processing unit of the respective other hearing device.
