Access control method for a
restricted access area (4, 40) using a hearing device (2), in particular a
hearing aid device, which has an ultra-
wideband communication device (10), wherein according to the method - the presence of the hearing device (2), which also has a
narrowband communication device (16), is queried by means of a
narrowband communication device (28) on the area side, - when the presence of the hearing device (2) is detected, an ultra-
wideband communication connection is established between an area-side and the hearing device-side ultra-
wideband communication device (10), - an access
authorization assigned to the hearing device (2) is queried, - a distance of the hearing device (2) to the access-restricted area (4, 40) is determined on the basis of the ultra-wideband communication connection, - if the access
authorization of the hearing device (2) is present and the hearing device (2) is arranged within a predetermined distance from the access-restricted area (4, 40), the access restriction is at least temporarily lifted, and - wherein two
hearing aid devices (2), each with an ultra-wideband communication device (10), are used as the hearing device (2), wherein the distance of each
hearing aid device (2) to the access-restricted area (4, 40) is determined, wherein a head movement of a person (6) wearing the hearing aid devices (2) is derived therefrom and compared with a reference head movement stored for the removal of the access restriction.
