Abstract

Bei einem Hörhilfegerätesystem mit zwei am Kopf tragbaren Hörhilfegeräten (1, 11) soll sowohl ein automatisches Erkennen der Hörsituation "Telefonieren" als auch ein automatisches Abschalten der Hörhilfegeräte (1, 11) für den Fall, dass diese vom Kopf genommen werden, realisiert werden. Erfindungsgemäß umfassen die Hörhilfegeräte (1, 11) hierfür Sensoreinrichtungen (6, 16) mittels derer erkannt wird, ob sich das betreffende Hörhilfegerät (1, 11) in einem Magnetfeld, das eine bestimmte Feldstärke überschreitet, befindet. Durch Mittel zur drahtlosen Signalübertragung (5, 7; 15, 17) lassen sich diesbezügliche Daten zwischen den Hörhilfegeräten (1, 11) austauschen. Wird nur von einem der beiden Hörhilfegeräte (1, 11) ein Magnetfeld detektiert, so kann daraus geschlossen werden, dass die Hörsituation "Telefonieren" vorliegt. Detektieren hingegen beide Hörhilfegeräte (1, 11) gleichzeitig ein Magnetfeld, so befinden sich beide Hörhilfegeräte (1, 11) in einer Aufbewahrungsbox, die mit einem Permanentmagnet ausgestattet ist, und werden automatisch abgeschaltet.

Figure imgaf001
In a hearing aid device system with two head-worn hearing aids (1, 11), both an automatic recognition of the hearing situation "telephoning" and an automatic shutdown of the hearing aids (1, 11) should be realized in the event that they are taken off the head. According to the invention, the hearing aid devices (1, 11) for this purpose comprise sensor devices (6, 16) by means of which it is detected whether the hearing aid device (1, 11) in question is in a magnetic field which exceeds a certain field strength. By means of wireless signal transmission (5, 7, 15, 17), data relating thereto can be exchanged between the hearing aid devices (1, 11). If only one of the two hearing aids (1, 11) detects a magnetic field, then it can be concluded that the hearing situation is "telephoning". If, on the other hand, both hearing aids (1, 11) simultaneously detect a magnetic field, then both hearing aids (1, 11) are located in a storage box equipped with a permanent magnet and are automatically switched off.
