Mobile wireless controller for a hearing aid

A mobile device configured as a wireless controller for a hearing aid comprising:

• a communication module for wireless communication with said hearing aid, said communication module comprising a radio interface, an antenna and an antenna controller;
• a computer-readable memory for storing a software application for remotely controlling said hearing aid via said communication module;
• wherein said communication module is connectable to a configuration module on a computer or a server for configuring said communication module on the basis of hearing aid setting information;
• and, wherein said communication module comprises a microcontroller that is configured for:
• sending authentication information to said configuration module;
• receiving hearing aid setting information from said configuration module if said configuration module determines on the basis of said authentication information that access to said hearing aid setting information by said communication module is allowed;
• and,
• configuring at least part of said communication module and/or said hearing aid on the basis of said hearing aid setting information.

A computer program product comprising software code portions configured for, when run in memory of a computer of a mobile user device comprising, a communication module for wireless communication with a hearing aid, said communication module comprising a radio interface, an antenna and an antenna controller, and a computer-readable memory storing a software application for remotely controlling said hearing aid on the basis of said communication module;

• said communication module being connectable to a configuration module on another computer or a server for configuring said communication module on the basis of hearing aid setting information, executing a method comprising:
• sending authentication information to said configuration module;
• receiving hearing aid setting information from said configuration module if said configuration module determines on the basis of said authentication information that access to said hearing aid setting information by said communication module is allowed;
• and
• configuring at least part of said communication module and/or said hearing aid on the basis of said hearing aid setting information.
