Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1276349A1] A hearing aid with a test controller (44) for detection of a defect in the signal path of the hearing head is provided. The test controller controls a test signal generator (40) and a probe means (42) for determination of a signal parameter, such as signal level, frequency spectrum, phase characteristic, auto-correlation, cross-correlation, etc. A set of signal switches (361,...,36p) controlled by the test controller is provided for connecting a desired test signal generator or a desired probe means to a desired point in the signal path for testing of a desired part of the hearing aid. Futher signal switches (18) are provided for coupling hearing aid components into and out of the signal path of the hearing aid. <IMAGE>
