Embodiment Construction

[0023] figure 1 A hearing aid system is shown, comprising a first hearing aid 1 that can be worn on the user's head and a second hearing aid 11 that can be worn on the user's head. The hearing aids 1 and 11 respectively have a microphone 2 and 12 for receiving an acoustic input signal and converting it into an electrical input signal. Signal processing units 3 and 13 are used to process and amplify the electrical input signal according to frequency. The electrical output signals generated by the signal processing units 3 and 13 are converted into acoustic output signals via earpieces 4 and 14 and sent to the auditory organs of the user. The signal processing in the signal processing units 3 and 13 can be adapted to different acoustic environments by setting a number of parameters. For example, store auditory programs or modes of operation: "speech in silence", "speech in interfering noise", "phone call", etc. The setting of the parameter of each auditory program and the set...

Abstract

The purpose of the invention is to realize automatic switch-on / off of hearing aids (1, 11) with wireless signal transmission between these two in a hearing air system on or in the ear of a user. To this end, at least one of the hearing aids (1, 11) is provided with a filed strength measuring device (6, 16) by means of which a field strength of an electromagnetic signal received by a hearing aid (1, 11) that is transmitted from the respective other hearing aid (1, 11) may be determined. The determined value is compared with a threshold value, the relevant hearing aid (1, 11) being switched off (sleep mode), as long as the field strength is greater than the threshold value and the hearing aid (1, 11) being switched on as long as the measured field strength is lower than the threshold value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hearing aid system with a first and a second hearing aid respectively wearable in or on the ear of a user, the hearing aids respectively comprising: an input converter for receiving an input signal and converting it into an electrical input signal, a signal processing unit for processing and amplifying the electrical input signal and outputting an electrical output signal, an output converter for converting the electrical output signal into an output signal that can be perceived by the user as an acoustic signal, and for A device for wireless signal transmission between hearing aids. [0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of operating such a hearing aid system. Background technique [0003] For switching on and off, hearing aids usually have a manually operable switch. In some hearing aids the switch is integrated in the battery compartment, so that the hearing aid is switched off as soon as the user pushes...
