20090262948 | HEARING AID AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A HEARING AID - The invention relates to a hearing aid comprising at least one signal processing device, at least one counter for detecting discreet events or operating processes, and at least one memory for storing the values or states of the counter, and the threshold values associated with each counter. The hearing aid is also provided with a signal transmitter that is actively connected to the signal processing device in such a way that the signal transmitter is activated when a threshold value of a counter is reached or exceeded. In this way, advantageously, any countable pre-defined events or operating processes can be used to establish and maintain the operating state of the hearing aid. An operating process can be, for example, the variation of a defined operating state of the hearing aid. If a predetermined threshold value is reached, i.e. the number of events reaches this threshold value, a corresponding signal can be triggered and produced by the signal transmitter. | 10-22-2009 |
20100142737 | METHOD FOR ASSISTING A USER OF A HEARING SYSTEM AND CORRESPONDING HEARING SYSTEM - The hearing system comprises at least one request-receiving unit for receiving requests for assistance from a user and an assistance unit operationally connected to the request-receiving unit adapted to carrying out an assistance function providing assistance for the user. The assistance unit is adapted to carrying out an analysis of a current status of at least one device of the hearing system. The assistance unit is furthermore adapted to attempting to correct the current status if a faulty or inappropriate current status has been detected. The hearing system comprises a communication interface, wherein the assistance unit is adapted to attempting to establish a communication link to a remote assistance provider using the communication interface. The method for assisting a user of a hearing system, comprises the steps of receiving a request for assistance from the user by a request-receiving unit and automatically carrying out an assistance function upon the receiving. | 06-10-2010 |

20100260367 | HEARING INSTRUMENT AND INPUT METHOD FOR A HEARING INSTRUMENT - A hearing instrument comprises an openable cover lid, the cover lid comprising at least one electrical input element and at least one lid contact terminal arranged to physically and electrically contact at least one corresponding device contact terminal when the lid is in a closed position. The cover lid further comprises at least two electrical input, each of the at least two input elements being functionally associated with the impedance between the lid contact terminal and a further terminal, and the hearing instrument comprises means to infer the state of the input elements from said impedance. In a preferred embodiment, the number of input elements is equal to or larger than the number of lid contact terminals. In a further embodiment, the lid is the lid of a battery compartment of the hearing instrument, and in a closed position of the lid at least one of the input elements is in electrical contact with one of the terminals of a battery lying in the battery compartment. | 10-14-2010 |

20150030191 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A HEARING DEVICE AS WELL AS A HEARING DEVICE - A method for operating a hearing device worn by a hearing device user. The method includes picking up an audio signal (a) by an input transducer of the hearing device. The audio signal (a) includes a source signal (s) of a sound source (SS) and a disturbing signal (d) of a disturbing source (DS). The method also includes receiving a transmission signal (d_AIS) via an interface unit of the hearing device. The transmission signal (d_AIS) includes the disturbing signal (d) or at least characteristic features of the disturbing signal (d). The method also includes at least partially eliminating the disturbing signal (d) from the audio signal (a) by using the disturbing signal (d) transmitted by the transmission signal (d_AIS) or by using the characteristic features of the disturbing signal (d) transmitted by the transmission signal (d_AIS) for obtaining an adjusted audio signal (a*), and processing the adjusted audio signal (a*). | 01-29-2015 |
