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.

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 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.
