Abstract: A method operates a hearing device which performs active noise suppression for suppressing noise signals having one or more frequency components. An audiogram is provided which specifies a hearing threshold of a user of the hearing device as a function of frequency, wherein by using the audiogram it is determined which frequency components of the noise are audible to the user and which are not audible. The noise suppression is operated selectively by suppressing audible frequency components of the noise and by not suppressing inaudible frequency components of the noise. A corresponding hearing device is operated according to the method.

Abstract: A method operates a hearing device system which has a hearing aid and a peripheral device which provides a voice-controlled digital assistant. A microphone signal from the hearing aid is examined for own voice components of the wearer of the hearing aid. If own voice components are detected by the hearing aid the microphone signal is examined for a pre-defined activation command for the digital assistant. If the activation command is recognized, a portion of the microphone signal representing the activation command and a subsequent speech sequence is processed by the hearing aid for a speech recognizer of the digital assistant using an algorithm. The processed portion of the microphone signal is transmitted to the peripheral device.

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 method operates a hearing device in present surroundings such that noise cancellation of the hearing device is activated, so that ambient sounds are reduced for a user of the hearing device. A desired value for the voice volume of the user is determined for the present surroundings. An actual value for the voice volume of the user is measured. If the actual value is lower than the desired value, the hearing device takes a measure to prompt the user to speak more loudly. Additionally, a hearing device is configured to implement the method.

Abstract: A method is indicated for operating a hearing aid, wherein the hearing aid is switchable between a usage state, in which a signal processing unit of the hearing aid is activated, and an idle state, in which the signal processing unit is deactivated. The hearing aid has a time measuring unit, which has a first timer and a second timer. The first timer is activated in the usage state and is deactivated in the idle state, for time measurement during the usage state. The second timer is activated in the idle state for time measurement during the idle state. Furthermore, a corresponding hearing aid is indicated.

Abstract: A method is specified for establishing a short-range radio link, in particular a Bluetooth connection, between a first device and a second device. A charging unit, which is configured to charge a hearing device, mediates the establishment of the short-range radio link. The charging unit transmits pairing data of the first device to the second device to establish the short-range radio link, so that the latter device is paired with the first device and the short-range radio link is established. There are also described a hearing device and a charging unit.
