Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 A hearing device 1 , which in this case is configured as a hearing aid 2 in an “ITE configuration”, is shown schematically in section. The hearing device 1 comprises a housing 4, within which a microphone 6, a signal processing unit 8, a loudspeaker 10 and a power supply 12 are arranged. The microphone 6 is designed to generate an input signal 14 from the surrounding sound signal, which is further transmitted to the signal processing unit 8 , amplified by the signal processing unit etc. and output as an output signal 16 for reproduction at the loudspeaker 10 . The signal processing unit 8 and the loudspeaker 10 , and possibly also the microphone 6 , are supplied with power from a power supply 12 which preferably has a battery or a rechargeable accumulator for this purpose.

[0035] The housing 4 also has a first distance sensor 18 and a second distance sensor 20 at the earpiece 17 . The first distance sensor 18 and the second distance sensor 20 are each forme...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a hearing device (1), in particular a hearing aid (2), comprising an earbud (17) having a first distance sensor (18) and a second distance sensor (20) and a control unit (26), wherein the first distance sensor (18) is designed to transmit the first distance signal (18a) to the control unit (26), wherein the second distance sensor (20) is designed to transmit the second distance signal (20a) to the control unit (26), wherein the earbuds (17) for the hearing device (1) the operation can be at least partially inserted into the external auditory canal of the user of the hearing device (1), and wherein the control unit (26) is designed to control the operating state of the hearing device (1) according to the change of the first distance signal (18a) and the second distance signal (20a). The present invention further relates to a method for controlling a hearing device (1) (40).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hearing device, in particular a hearing aid, having an earplug and a control unit, wherein the earplug can be inserted at least partially into the external auditory canal of a user of the hearing device for operation of the hearing device, and wherein the control unit is designed for Control the operating status of your hearing device. Background technique [0002] Power supply is basically a major challenge in hearing instruments due to the small size. Hearing devices generally comprise at least one acoustic-electric transducer, which can be embodied, for example, by a microphone; a signal processing unit; and at least one electroacoustic transducer, which can be embodied, for example, by a loudspeaker. [0003] When the hearing device is in operation, the sound from the surroundings is now converted by the acoustic-electric converter into an electrical input signal, which is amplified by a signal processing unit etc. The ...
