Abstract (en)
[origin: US2006018497A1] The user ( 2 ) of a binaural hearing aid or communication system ( 1 A, 1 B) is to be provided with an easier assignment or identification of acoustic signals generated in the system for keeping a user ( 2 ) informed about current settings or states of the system. To this end the signal is emitted by the hearing aid or communication system ( 1 A, 1 B) in such a way that for the user ( 2 ) the signals appear to come from different signal sources ( 3 to 6; 8 to 11 ) in the space ( 7 ) surrounding the user. In this way the acoustic signals carry additional information perceived consciously or unconsciously by the user ( 2 ).
