Abstract

Die Kommunikationsprotokolle und individuellen Registermodelle verschiedener Hörgeräte sollen standardisiert werden. Dazu erhält das im DSP/ASIC eines Hörgeräts vorhandene Registermodell im DSP/ASIC ein standardisiertes Interface. Damit kann ein anwendungsspezifischer, universeller, generischer Befehlssatz, der über die Kommunikationsschnittstelle (3, 3', 3'') übertragen wird, eingesetzt werden. Dieser Befehlssatz kann über Hörgerätefamilien, IC-Generationen und hersteller-übergreifend vereinheitlicht werden, so dass eine universelle Software zur Anpassung von Hörgeräten geschaffen werden kann.

The communication protocols and individual register models of different hearing aids are to be standardized. For this purpose, the DSP / ASIC register model in the DSP / ASIC contains a standardized interface. Thus, an application-specific, universal, generic instruction set, which is transmitted via the communication interface (3, 3 ', 3''), can be used. This set of commands can be standardized across hearing aid families, IC generations and across manufacturers, so that universal hearing aid fitting software can be created.
