Abstract (en)
In the hearing aid, signals are transmitted from a microphone (2,2') to a hearing device (3) via a neuronal structure (5) which processes the signals. The neuronal structure separates useful signals from noise by splitting input signals according to frequency. The neuronal network is composed of a single-layer feedback coupled network, a multi-layer non-feedback coupled network, or a mixture of both. The weighting functions at the input of all neurons are either predetermined by the circuit structure or programmable by an external control device. The programming data is stored on a data carrier (6) for the neurons.

Das Hörgerät (1) zeichnet sich durch eine verbesserte Signalverarbeitung, insbesondere eine verbesserte Trennung der Nutzsignale vom Störgeräusch, dadurch aus, daß Signale des Signalpfades von wenigstens einem Mikrofon (2, 2') zum Hörer (3) über eine neuronale Struktur (5) geführt und darin bearbeitet werden. <IMAGE>
