Abstract: A method for controlling a hearing device via touch gestures carried out by a wearer of the hearing device. As part of the gesture a finger is swiped across first and second sound inlets of the hearing device. A gesture is detected by determining if a first output signal from a first microphone at the first sound inlet contains a component caused by the finger touching the hearing device at the first sound inlet and if a second output signal from a second microphone at the second sound inlet contains a component caused by the finger touching the hearing device at the second sound inlet. Based on the detected gesture a control signal changes a processing parameter or setting of a signal processing unit of the hearing device. Additionally, a hearing device capable of performing the proposed method and a method of fitting such a hearing device are provided.

Abstract: A method includes providing a hearing device with a key, which is a secret asymmetric private key or a secret shared symmetric key, and storing the key on the hearing device; logging data related to a usage of the hearing device and storing the logged usage data on the hearing device; signing the stored logged usage data, using the key stored on the hearing device; transmitting the signed stored logged usage data from the hearing device to a data lake separate from the hearing device; verifying the signature of the signed logged usage data received from the hearing device by using the public key that corresponds to the private key stored on the hearing device or by using a secret shared symmetric key corresponding to the shared secret symmetric key stored on the hearing device; and, if the signature is verified, processing the signed logged usage data.
