| 20080258871 | PORTABLE AUDIO-CAPABLE DEVICE SYSTEMS, IN PARTICULAR HEARING SYSTEMS, PLAYING MESSAGES - A method includes the step of providing a user of a portable audio-capable device system, such as a hearing system, with a benefit as a reward for the user's consent to accept that said portable audio-capable device system plays messages, in particular audible messages. In particular, the benefit includes providing at no cost, or providing a deduction in payments for, at least one of: a device of said portable audio-capable device system; an accessory for said portable audio-capable device system; a functionality for said portable audio-capable device system; and goods or services contributing to operating costs of said portable audio-capable device system. Accordingly, the user accepts that he is confronted with specific audible messages, and in return, he is provided with a benefit, in particular with a financial benefit. Accordingly, the user can be sponsored, e.g., by the manufacturer of said portable audio-capable device system. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20100020989 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A HEARING DEVICE AND A HEARING DEVICE - A method to operate a hearing device and a hearing device are disclosed comprising a plurality of source units (S | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100067711 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING A HEARING DEVICE WITH A CUSTOMIZED FEATURE SET - The method for manufacturing a hearing device, which hearing device includes at least one programmable processor, includes the steps of a) providing a set of software members, b) selecting a subset of said set, and c) creating an image of said subset, which is executable in said at least one processor. This allows to select from a large set of software members only those, which are suitable for a specific user. The system for manufacturing a hearing device in dependence of individual preferences of a user of said hearing device, which hearing device includes at least one programmable processor, includes a selecting tool allowing to select a subset of software members from a set of software members, and a build tool for creating an image of said subset of software members, wherein said image is executable in said at least one processor. | 03-18-2010 |
