Embodiment Construction

[0062] figure 1 A hearing device 2 is shown, which is worn behind the ear O of a user, not further shown. The hearing device 2 is here a BTE hearing device with a housing 4 which is worn behind the ear O and from which a sound tube 6 extends into the ear canal. Furthermore, the hearing device 2 also has a plurality of microphones 8 which record sound signals from the environment of the user. This acoustic signal is then modified, in particular amplified, by means of the control unit 10 and then output via the receiver 12 . The modified sound signal then travels from the earpiece 12 to the ear O via the sound hose 6 . In order to securely support the sound tube 6 , an earplug (not shown in detail) which is placed in the ear canal is attached to the end of the sound tube 6 . also, figure 1 Also shown is an external device 14, such as a smartphone or a server. The hearing device 2 and the external device 14 are designed for data transmission between each other, for example...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for operating a hearing instrument (2) for a user. In this method, the user's neuronal signals are measured and the user's listening effort (H) is determined therefrom. The intensity (I) of listening effort (H) and the listening direction (R) are determined from the neuronal signal, where the intensity (I) and listening direction (R) form a hearing vector (V). The operating mode (B) of the hearing device (2) is adjusted or set according to the listening direction (R) in order to reduce the intensity (I) of the listening effort (H). Furthermore, a corresponding hearing instrument (2) is specified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a hearing device and a corresponding hearing device. Background technique [0002] Hearing devices are generally used to reproduce sound signals in the direction of the user's ear. For this purpose, the hearing device is worn in or on the ear and has an earpiece via which the sound output takes place. In particular, hearing devices are used to accommodate hearing-impaired users. Such hearing devices usually have a plurality of microphones to receive sound signals from the environment and a signal processing unit which suitably modifies, in particular amplifies, the received sound signals and then forwards them to the earpiece for output. [0003] The use of such a hearing device by a user essentially depends on the ability of the hearing device to output an acoustic signal in such a way that it is adapted as best as possible to the needs of the user in the particular case. This is achieved by setting a...
