In a remotely controllable, especially remote-control-programmable heating aid with an external control device (1) with a keyboard (2), display device (3) and a data processing device (4) and also a hearing aid (9) controllable by the control device (1), in the control device there is a signal generator (11) actuatable and controllable via the keyboard (2) and the data processing device (4). This generator is releasably connected by a cable (12, 13, 14) to the heating aid so that the control device (1) can be used together with a heating aid to determine the hearing curve or, in general, the audiometric values of the wearer of the hearing aid in real conditions.
A remotely controllable hearing aid system, especially with remote-control-programmable transmission characteristics, comprising an external control device (1) with a keyboard (2) for input and control functions and a display device (3) for operator prompting, with a data processing device (4) with assigned program memories and data memories, and with a transmitter (8) for wireless transmission of control parameter groups to a heating aid (9) equipped with a receiver (10) and other signal processing circuits, characterized by a signal generator (11) contained in the control device (1) and controllable by the data processing device (4) for generation of signals located mainly in the audible frequency range, and with a releasable, conductive connection (12, 13, 14) between the output of the signal generator (11) and an audio input of the hearing aid, as well as with a memory (5) for audiological or audiometric data located in the control device, whereby said memory is also operationally connected with the data processing device (4).
