Abstract

Die eigene Stimme des Hörgeräteträgers führt bei verschiedenen Hörgerätealgorithmen häufig zu Artefakten und Fehlverhalten. Daher ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, die eigene Stimme mit einer speziellen Analyseeinrichtung zu detektieren und die Hörgerätealgorithmen in Abhängigkeit davon zu steuern. Dies kann durch ein Mikrofon (MI) im Gehörgang (GG) erreicht werden, dessen Signalpegel mit dem eines externen Mikrofons (ME1, ME2) verglichen wird. Beispielsweise lässt sich hiermit die automatische Verstärkungsregelung (AGC) eines Hörgeräts bei Präsenz der eigenen Stimme des Hörgeräteträgers "einfrieren".

The hearing aid wearer's own voice often causes artifacts and misconduct in various hearing aid algorithms. Therefore, it is provided according to the invention to detect one's own voice with a special analysis device and to control the hearing aid algorithms in dependence thereon. This can be achieved by using a Microphone (MI) in the ear canal (GG) whose signal level is compared to that of an external microphone (ME1, ME2). For example, the automatic gain control (AGC) of a hearing aid can thereby be "frozen" in the presence of the hearing aid wearer's own voice.
