Abstract

Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Hörhilfegerätes sowie Hörhilfegerät mit einem Mikrofonsystem, bei dem unterschiedliche Richtcharakteristiken einstellbar sind
Bei einem Hörhilfegerät mit einem Mikrofonsystem (1, 2; 21, 22) sollen beim Umschalten zwischen unterschiedlichen Richtcharakteristiken entstehende Artefakte vermieden werden. Hierzu sieht die Erfindung vor, dass von Mikrofoneinheiten ((1; 1, 2), (21; 21, 22)) mit Richtcharakteristiken unterschiedlicher Ordnung ausgehende Mikrofonsignale (R0, R1; R0', R1') in ihren Signalpegeln angeglichen werden. Das Umschalten bzw. Überblenden erfolgt dann stets zwischen Mikrofonsignalen (R0, R1; R0', R1') mit gleichem Signalpegel, so dass durch das Umschalten bzw. Überblenden keine Pegelsprünge entstehen.
