Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0205591A2] The invention relates to a method for operating a hearing device and to a device for carrying out said method in order to switch between various hearing programs for adaptation to an instantaneous acoustic environmental situation. According to the invention, signals or parameters (b>1<, ..., b>m<) of a transfer function are modified in a continuous manner in order to form a continuous transition from an instantaneous value to a desired value. The advantage of the invention is that a person wearing a hearing device is no longer required to experience switching to a new hearing program as an abrupt process.

[origin: WO0205591A2] The invention relates to a method for operating a hearing device and to a device for carrying out said method in order to switch between various hearing programs for adaptation to an instantaneous acoustic environmental situation. According to the invention, signals or parameters (b1, ..., bm) of a transfer function are modified in a continuous manner in order to form a continuous transition from an instantaneous value to a desired value. The advantage of the invention is that a person wearing a hearing device is no longer required to experience switching to a new hearing program as an abrupt process.
