Abstract

Die Reichweite bei der Signalübertragung zwischen Hörhilfegeräten soll verbessert werden. Es wird hierzu vorgeschlagen, Signale zwischen einem ersten Hörhilfegerät (1A), das von einem ersten Hörhilfegeräteträger (1) getragen wird, und einem zweiten Hörhilfegerät (2A), das von einem zweiten Hörhilfegeräteträger getragen wird, zu übertragen. Dabei kann das übertragene Signal Steuerparameter, Schallfeld-Kennwerte oder ein Audio-Signal umfassen. Gemäß der Erfindung wird ein Signal zwischen dem ersten Hörhilfegerät (1A) und dem zweiten Hörhilfegerät (2A) über wenigstens ein weiteres Hörhilfegerät (3A), das von wenigstens einem weiteren Hörhilfegeräteträger (3) getragen wird, übertragen. Das dritte Hörhilfegerät (3A) erfüllt dabei die Funktion einer Relaisstation. Durch die Erfindung kann dem Gehör eines Hörhilfegeräteträgers (2) direkt ein Signal mit verbessertem Signal-Rausch-Verhältnis zugeführt werden oder es kann die Signalverarbeitung eines Hörhilfegerätes (2A) besser an die jeweilige Umgebungssituation angepasst werden.

The range in the signal transmission between hearing aids should be improved. For this purpose, it is proposed to transmit signals between a first hearing aid device (1A), which is carried by a first hearing aid wearer (1), and a second hearing aid device (2A), which is carried by a second hearing aid wearer. The transmitted signal may include control parameters, sound field characteristics or an audio signal. According to the invention, a signal is transmitted between the first hearing aid device (1A) and the second hearing aid device (2A) via at least one further hearing aid device (3A), which is carried by at least one further hearing aid wearer (3). The third hearing aid (3A) fulfills the function of a relay station. By means of the invention, a signal with improved signal-to-noise ratio can be directly supplied to the hearing of a hearing aid wearer (2) or the signal processing of a hearing aid device (2A) can be better adapted to the respective environmental situation.
