Abstract: A method for operating a hearing device is specified. The hearing device is assigned to a user and connected to other hearing devices, which are each assigned to another user, for data exchange in a common network. The hearing device or one of the other hearing devices controls the data exchange by subscribing to the network as a master, and wherein all other hearing devices subscribe to the network as a slave. It is decided whether the hearing device subscribes to the network as a master or as a slave by determining the operational capability of the hearing device and comparing it with the operational capability of the other hearing devices and by the hearing device acting as a master if the hearing device has the highest operational capability, and otherwise as a slave.

Abstract: A hearing system in particular a binaural hearing system that is configured to produce monaural or binaural beats and, to that end, has at least one hearing device containing a primary signal path. The hearing device moreover has a secondary signal path, containing a signal generator for generating a first beat signal. The first beat signal being frequency-shifted in relation to a further signal by a beat frequency in such a way that the effect of the monaural or binaural beat is produced for the user during operation. The signal generator has an associated adjusting apparatus that has an adjustable amplifier element. The adjusting apparatus has an analysis unit for determining an instantaneous signal level of the input signal, and the respective adjusting apparatus is configured to set a signal level of the first beat signal on the basis of the instantaneous signal level.

Abstract: A method for operating a network is specified. The network has a plurality of hearing devices assigned to different users. Each of the hearing devices has an interface and is connected via this interface to at least one of the other hearing devices for the exchange of data with this hearing device and the other hearing devices. The network can be divided into a plurality of subnets, which are then connected to each other by configuring one of the hearing devices as a gateway in each of the subnets for the exchange of data between hearing devices of different subnets. Each of the hearing devices is assigned to exactly one subnet and is dynamically assigned to another, existing subnet or to a new subnet in order to increase transmission quality during the data exchange. A hearing device for implementing the method is also specified.

Abstract: A monaural or binaural hearing system is configured to generate monaural or binaural beats and includes at least one hearing device having a main signal path. The hearing device also has an auxiliary signal path containing a signal generator for generating a first beat signal. The first beat signal is frequency-shifted relative to a further signal by a beat frequency producing the effect of the monaural or binaural beat for the user during operation. The signal generator is configured such that the first beat signal has, at least in certain operating modes of the hearing device, at least one signal component generated based on the electrical input signal, and hence based on ambient sound, and is denoted as the ambient signal. The beat signal is preferably composed of different signal components, the weighting of which is preferably adjusted depending on a signal level of the input signal.

Abstract: A method is specified for the operation of a network having several hearing devices assigned to different users. Each of the hearing devices has an interface for exchanging data with the other hearing devices. The network is implemented as a ring network, within which a given hearing device is directly connected to only two other hearing devices and only indirectly connected to the remaining hearing devices, so that the data exchange within the network takes place from hearing device to hearing device in sequence. A corresponding hearing device is configured to perform the method.
