Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0823829A2] A hearing aid (12,14), having alterable parameters, includes analog-to-digital input circuitry (30) for forming a digital signal representative of an incident acoustic wave. A digital signal processor (32), coupled to said input circuitry (30), forms and processes, at a first rate, first and second frequency distinguishable data streams representative, at least in part, of the digital signal. A control unit (34) coupled to said processor (32) includes circuitry for logarithmically processing at least one of the digital data streams, at a reduced rate which is less than the first rate. A parameter value storage memory (34b) is coupled to the unit (34), and an interface (38) is provided for accessing the memory (34b) and altering parametric values stored therein. <IMAGE>
