Problems solved by technology

For example, reduce the gain factor when the user of the hearing device speaks by himself, otherwise he often feels that his own voice is distorted, and the user usually feels uncomfortable

Embodiment Construction

[0041] attached figure 1 Shown is a hearing device 2 , which here is a RIC hearing device and which comprises a housing 4 which can be worn behind the ear by a user, not shown. The hearing device 2 also comprises a number of microphones 6 , a control unit 8 , an amplifier 10 and an earpiece 12 as main components, in addition to a battery 14 for power supply.

[0042] The microphone 6 generates an input signal E which, in the operating state, is forwarded to the amplifier 10 for amplification, where it is amplified with a certain gain factor V. The input signal E amplified in this way is then output via the receiver 12 , more precisely via the loudspeaker of the receiver 12 , which is not shown in detail. In the embodiment shown here, the user wears the earpiece 12 directly behind the ear and connects it to the amplifier 10 via a suitable feed line 16 . In principle, however, the hearing device 2 can also be a BtE hearing device, the receiver 12 of which is mounted on or in t...

Abstract

In a method for operating a hearing aid, an input signal is generated by way of one or more microphones. The input signal is amplified in an amplifier with an adjustable gain factor and output as an amplified input signal by way of a receiver. Furthermore, an OVD (own-voice-detection) parameter is established by an OVD unit. The OVD parameter specifies whether or not the user themselves is speaking. The gain factor is adjusted in a manner dependent on the OVD parameter and additionally adjusted in a manner dependent on noise, in particular stationary noise.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of operating a hearing device and a suitable hearing device. Background technique [0002] Users often use hearing devices to improve their hearing. To this end, the hearing device includes at least one microphone, which can be used to record the sound in the user's surrounding environment, and then use an amplifier in the hearing device to amplify it and output it through the earpiece. Hearing devices can be implemented in various ways and can then be worn by the user in different ways: for example a CIC hearing device is worn entirely in the ear; in the case of a RIC hearing device only the earpiece is worn in the ear and the rest of the components are placed in the ear. Worn behind the ear in the same housing; in the case of BtE hearing equipment, all components are arranged in the same housing, and the sound output by the earpiece is usually transmitted to the ear through a sound tube or similar device.
