Embodiment Construction

[0036] exist figure 1 A hearing aid device implemented as a tinnitus treatment device 2 is shown in . The tinnitus treatment device 2 is worn in operation at the ear 4 of a user suffering from tinnitus. The tinnitus treatment device 2 comprises a microphone 6 as an acoustic-to-electric converter and an earpiece 8 as an electrical-to-acoustic converter, and in particular a signal processing device 10 embodied for active sound compensation of one or more tinnitus frequencies.

[0037] The microphone 6 is arranged at the entrance 12 of the (external) ear canal 14 of the ear 4 . However, it is also conceivable for the microphone 6 to be arranged at least partially within the ear canal 14 . However, the earpiece 8 is always located further inside or deeper in the ear canal 14 than the microphone 6 . The ear canal 14 extends from the inlet 12 to the eardrum 16 of the user.

[0038] The or each tinnitus frequency of the user is stored in the memory 18 of the signal processing dev...

Abstract

The invention relates to a hearing aid device (2), in particular a tinnitus treatment device, having a microphone (6) for receiving an acoustic ambient signal (20) and converting the ambient signal into an electrical input signal (22); A signal processing device (10) for processing an electrical input signal into an electrical output signal (24), wherein the user's tinnitus frequency or frequencies are stored in a memory (18) of the signal processing device; An earpiece (8) at least partially insertable into a user's ear canal (14) for signal conversion into a sound compensation signal (26), wherein the signal processing means processes the input signal using the or each tinnitus frequency stored , so that the sound compensation signal emitted by the earpiece is superimposed with the ambient signal in the user's ear canal to produce a composite overall signal (28) in which the user's or each tinnitus frequency is suppressed or at least reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a hearing aid device, in particular a tinnitus treatment device, which has a microphone and an earpiece which can be inserted into the ear canal of a user or is at least partially arranged in the ear canal. The invention also relates to a hearing device operable according to such a method. Background technique [0002] A hearing aid is a wearable hearing device for the hearing-impaired or hearing-impaired. In order to meet a large number of individual needs, hearing aids are available in different configurations, such as behind-the-ear hearing devices (HdO) and hearing devices with external earpieces (RIC: receiver in the canal (Receiver in the ear canal)) and inner ear hearing devices equipment (IdO), such as external ear hearing equipment or ear canal hearing equipment (ITE: In-The-Ear (inner ear), CIC: Completely-In-Channel (completely in-the-ear), IIC: Invisible-In -The-Channel (invisible in the ear...
