Abstract
A method and a device for providing a hearing aid user guide is disclosed. The device comprises a communication interface and a processing unit connected to the communication interface. The processing unit is configured for: obtaining at least one hearing aid setting of a hearing aid via the communication interface; configuring a user guide based on the at least one hearing aid setting; and providing the user guide.
Claims17
A device for providing a hearing aid user guide for a hearing aid, comprising:
- a communication interface configured to communicate with the hearing aid;
- and
- a processing unit connected to the communication interface, wherein the processing unit comprises at least some hardware, and wherein the processing unit is configured for:
- obtaining at least one hearing aid setting of the hearing aid from the hearing aid via the communication interface;
- and
- configuring a user guide based on the at least one hearing aid setting obtained from the hearing aid;
- wherein the device is configured to provide the user guide for the hearing aid;
- wherein the at least one hearing aid setting comprises one or more mode indicators including a first mode indicator indicative of whether a first mode of the hearing aid is enabled or disabled, the first mode being a sound signal processing functionality of the hearing aid;
- and
- wherein the processing unit of the device comprises logic that associates a state of the first mode indicator with user guide information for the user guide.
