Embodiment Construction

[0023] 【0023】in figure 1 A hearing aid 1 according to the invention is schematically illustrated in FIG. The hearing aid 1 is adapted for two-way communication with a remote device 2 via a wireless connection 3 . The wireless connection 3 is preferably a low power radio connection with a maximum range of 1-2 metres. The remote device 2 can be connected to other devices, here for example a computer 7 . In the illustrated example, the remote devices 2 have wireless local area network (WLAN) connectivity to connect with the computer 7 via their respective connections 4 and 6 to the WLAN 5 . Other connection methods (such as Bluetooth) can also be realized and used in the communication between the remote device 2 and the computer 7 . The hearing aid 1 is adapted to send audible notifications. Preferably, the audible warning is sent using conventional circuitry of the hearing aid 1 such as a digital signal processor, amplifier, loudspeaker etc. How this is accomplished in deta...

Abstract

A hearing aid adapted for issuing, at at least one predetermined notification time, a notification to a hearing aid user wearing the hearing aid. The hearing aid comprises digital circuitry (16, 17) including a digital processor (16), means (18) for generating a first time base for the digital circuitry (16, 17) of the hearing aid, digital storage means (13) for storing data corresponding to at least one time limit at which a notification is to occur. The hearing aid also comprises digital storage means (12) for storing a compensation factor value indicating a relative difference between saidfirst time base and a second external time base. Furthermore the hearing aid comprises means for determining, based on said data indicating the predetermined notification time, said first time base and said compensation factor value, when said predetermined notification time has been reached and issuing the notification.

Description

technical field [0001] [0001] The present invention relates to hearing aids adapted for sending notifications and methods of sending such notifications. Background technique [0002] [0002] Everyone has the experience of how useful a reminder for a specific event is, for example, having to take a medication, or having to call a hairdresser or dentist to make an appointment. [0003] [0003] It is known, inter alia, from US-A-2006 / 0045278 that it may be useful to incorporate notification devices into hearing aids to remind the user of specific events, such as taking a medication at a specific time in order to maintain the correct dosage . [0004] [0004] Although punctual medication is more important than punctual phone calls, at least if the time limit has not been exceeded, there may be other events that require more punctuality, such as leaving the house to catch a bus or train. [0005] [0005] In this respect, however, modern digital hearing aids generally suffer from su...
