Abstract
An in-the-ear hearing aid having multiple directional microphones connected to a signal processing unit. The connection of the microphones can be reversed by a selector switch to selectively switch the hearing aid between a left-ear configuration and a right-ear configuration.
Claims5
Procedure for the adaptive left-ear/right-ear setting of a hearing aid incorporating at least two microphones which by way of a signal processing unit are operationally connected to at least one output converter of the hearing aid, characterized in that the functional directionality of the microphones relative to the output converter is switch-selected on the finished hearing-aid product.
Hearing aid with at least two microphones the outputs of which are operationally connected via a signal processing unit to at least one output converter of the hearing aid, characterized by the interpolation between the two microphone outputs and the output-converter input of a controllable switching unit which permits the commutation of the functional directionality of the microphone outputs relative to the output converter.
Process for the manufacture of hearing aids for left-ear and right-ear use incorporating at least two microphones as well as a signal processing unit connected to the microphone outputs, characterized in that the hearing aids are produced with an identical configuration while permitting controlled directional switching between the microphones and the signal processing unit.
