Abstract
A hearing device is physically adjusted to suit a hearing device wearer. A position sensor of the hearing device is used to ascertain a characteristic measure of a current actual wearing position of the hearing device. The characteristic measure of the actual wearing position is then taken as a basis for ascertaining a discrepancy between the actual wearing position and a prescribed desired wearing position. On the basis of this discrepancy, an instruction is output to the hearing device wearer to adjust the receiver connector based on the ascertained discrepancy.
Claims15
A method for physically adjusting a hearing device to suit a hearing device wearer, wherein the hearing device has a hearing device body and a receiver connector couplable or coupled to the hearing device body, the method comprising:
- using a position sensor of the hearing device to ascertain a characteristic measure of a current actual wearing position of the hearing device;
- taking the characteristic measure of the actual wearing position as a basis for ascertaining a discrepancy between the actual wearing position and a prescribed desired wearing position;
- reading a selectable length of the receiver connector from a reference curve stored in the hearing device;
- and
- outputting an instruction to the hearing device wearer to adjust a length of the receiver connector on a basis of the ascertained discrepancy between the actual wearing position and the desired wearing position.
A method for physically adjusting a hearing device to suit a hearing device wearer, wherein the hearing device has a hearing device body and a receiver connector couplable or coupled to the hearing device body, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of receiver connectors having mutually different lengths;
- using a position sensor of the hearing device to ascertain a characteristic measure of a current actual wearing position of the hearing device;
- taking the characteristic measure of the actual wearing position as a basis for ascertaining a discrepancy between the actual wearing position and a prescribed desired wearing position;
- reading a selectable length of the receiver connector from a reference curve stored in the hearing device;
- outputting an instruction to the hearing device wearer to adjust a length of the receiver connector on a basis of the ascertained discrepancy between the actual wearing position and the desired wearing position, and directing the instruction toward taking the ascertained discrepancy as a basis for coupling a receiver connector that has a shorter or longer length in comparison with the receiver connector that is currently connected to the hearing device body.
