Abstract
For a method to operate a hearing device, a signal is recorded by at least one of several source units (S1, . . . , Sn). Furthermore, at least one of the recorded signals is classified into one or several predefined sound classes, characteristics of the source unit (S1, . . . , Sn), which records the signal, being taken into account during the classification. Finally, a hearing program is selected in the hearing device according to the classification result.
Claims12
A method to operate a hearing device, the method comprising the steps of:
- recording a signal by at least one of several source units,
- classifying at least one of the recorded signals in one or several predefined sound classes, characteristics of the source unit recording the signal being considered for the classification, the source unit recording the signal being selected from the several source units, and
- selecting a hearing program according to the result of the classification, wherein the hearing program is selected based on the selected source unit.
A hearing device comprising at least two source units, a signal processing unit and a classification unit, the at least two source units being operationally connected to the signal processing unit, on the one hand, and to the classification unit on the other hand, and the classification unit being operationally connected to the signal processing unit, wherein a selection unit is provided that is operationally connected to the classification unit in order to transmit information regarding the selected source unit, wherein a hearing program of the signal processing unit is selected based on the information regarding the selected source unit.
