Abstract
The supply to people with a hearing impairment is to be improved. A hearing aid device is provided for this purpose which has at least two output signal transducers. Thus both an earpiece and a cochlear implant can be triggered, for example by common signal processor, via an induction coil. A hybrid supply to an ear can thus be ensured.
