Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 is a block diagram of an example of a system comprising: a first hearing aid device 10 to be worn on one ear of a user, a second hearing aid device 11 to be worn on the other ear of the user, and At least one external device 40 (which may eg be a smartphone).

[0020] The first and second hearing aid devices 10, 11 are generally ear-level devices and preferably form a binaural hearing system.

[0021] Preferably, the hearing device 10, 11 is a hearing instrument, such as a BTE (behind the ear), ITE (in the ear) or CIC (completely in the ear canal) hearing aid. However, the hearing device may also be, for example, a hearing prosthesis, such as a cochlear implant.

[0022] exist figure 1 In the example of , the hearing aid device 10, 11 is a hearing aid, and the hearing aid comprises: a microphone device 12, which is used to capture an audio signal from ambient sound; an audio signal processing unit 14, which is used to process the captured audio signal; and ...

Abstract

A hearing aid device worn by a user is provided, comprising: a microphone arrangement (12) for capturing audio signals from ambient sounds; an audio signal processing unit (14) for processing the captured audio signals; and an ear-level output transducer (16) for stimulating the user's hearing from the processed audio signal; at least one wireless interface (18, 20, 42, 44) for receiving data from an external device (11, 40) ) receiving a signal; a scene detection unit (46) for determining a current value of a set of scene parameters indicative of the hearing aid device ( 10), wherein the scene detection unit is configured to select a position scene from a plurality of position scenes as the current valid position scene based on the determined position; and a security control unit (48), which is used for Security aspects of the hearing aid device are controlled by a security policy selected from a plurality of security policies, each security policy specifically setting a security level for accessing services of the hearing aid device; wherein each location context is related to the security policy is associated with one of the security policies in , and wherein the security control unit is adapted to select the security policy associated with the currently valid location scenario.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hearing aid device to be worn by a user, usually at ear level, comprising: a microphone arrangement for capturing audio signals from ambient sounds; an audio signal processing unit for processing the captured audio signals and an ear-level output transducer for stimulating the user's hearing in accordance with the processed audio signal; and also including at least one wireless interface for receiving a signal from an external device, such as a GPS signal, a Bluetooth signal, or Wi-Fi signal. Background technique [0002] In general, hearing aids such as hearing instruments (hereinafter also referred to as “hearing devices”) provide different services (including access to data and signals provided by the hearing aids) in different scenarios. Typically, a specific scene is associated with a specific position of the hearing aid. For example, hearing device fitting, i.e. adjustments to hearing device settings, may only be allo...
