Abstract: In a method for operating a shuttle system, at least one shuttle is intended to accept a load carrier, to be put into storage, from a transfer station, and to transfer a load carrier, to be removed from storage, to a transfer station.

Abstract: A hearing device has a printed circuit board with two carrier segments, which respectively each have a carrier layer to which a conductor structure adheres, and also with a connecting segment that connects the two carrier segments to each other. The connecting segment is configured so as to be bendable and rotatable.

Abstract: A behind-the-ear hearing device has a hearing device housing and a user-operable switch. At least two microphones are disposed below the switch in the hearing device housing, and the housing is formed with first sound openings that are arranged directly below the switch. The switch is preferably a rocker switch. The microphones can be positioned below a switch in a space-saving fashion and the installation space of the hearing device housing can thus be used optimally.

Abstract: For reducing the influence of interference fields on hearing aids, a hearing aid is provided with an electronic component into which a first and a second electromagnetic disturbance component can be injected by providing a predetermined electromagnetic interference field. The electrical component is formed asymmetric and/or a compensation component is arranged on the electrical component such that the first and the second interference components largely compensate for one another. A compensation plate or an element which is provided in any case, such as a microphone, may be used as the compensation component. If the electrical component is a coil, then its core may, for example, be conical or configured such that its winding density varies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-component hearing aid system, comprising at least one first component that is designed to be disposed on or in the ear of a patient for the purpose of generating and/or amplifying an auditory stimulus and at least one further component which can engage at least partially and/or temporarily in a wireless communication connection via which a data transmission can take place with the first component that is to be worn on or in the ear, wherein circuitry means are included which can place at least one source of interference contained in the hearing aid system at least during the transmission of data into an operating mode in which interference signals are coupled by said at least one source of interference into a receiver involved in the data transmission in a manner that is at least attenuated compared to the normal operating mode.

Abstract: The influence of interference from power supply lines in hearing devices is to be reduced. Thus a hearing device with an antenna for receiving and/or sending inductive signals, a signal processing device, to which the antenna is connected, a power supply unit for supplying power to the signal processing device and an electrical conductor for electrical connection of the power supply unit to the signal processing device is provided. The electrical conductor is L-shaped or U-shaped and closely follows the contours of the power supply unit. In addition the electrical conductor forms a part of an essentially round or rectangular ring, the axis of which has a main directional component perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the antenna. A magnetic field created by the conductor is thus perpendicular to the antenna, so that its magnetic interference influence is reduced.

Abstract: A hearing aid (10) having an active occlusion reduction system (50) that counteracts occluded sounds generated within the volume (24) of the ear canal (20) that is not blocked when the hearing aid (10), or an ear piece thereof, is inserted into the ear canal (20) and an AOR transducer (44, 52) that has a flattened frequency response for low frequency portions of the occlusion sounds to enable a wide range of frequency response by the active occlusion reduction system (50). The low frequency portions of the occlusion sounds may be in the range of 10-100 Hz.

Abstract: The invention specifies a hearing apparatus (1) and an associated method with an active occlusion reduction unit (10). The hearing apparatus (1) also comprises at least one first means (R, M, 20, 30), which can be used to reduce an impact sound (TS) formed in the auditory canal of a wearer of the hearing apparatus (1) by steps of said wearer and/or effects on the occlusion reduction unit (10) caused by the impact sound (TS). This has the advantage that the impact sound artifacts that can be heard by a wearer of the hearing apparatus (1) are prevented.

Abstract: In a computerized method for adherence to physical restrictions in the construction of an ITE hearing aid, each component to be placed in the shell of the hearing aid has a collision plot associated therewith. The collision plot is generated as a scatter plot by measurement and simulation, and represents the physical extent of the influence of a particular property of the component on other components. When virtual representations of the respective components are moved relative to another in the e-detailing software for determining the physical positions of the components in the ITE hearing aid, the collision plot for a given component is visually displayed, so that it can easily be seen when another component invades that collision plot, thereby representing an unacceptably close relative position of the two components.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided for reducing an interference input coupling caused by asymmetrically embodied field lines of at least one hearing device component into a receiving antenna of a wireless data transmission facility of a hearing device. The apparatus includes at least one first means arranged in the hearing device, by means of which the asymmetry of the field lines is reduced and the field distortion is corrected. In addition, the receiving antenna can be geometrically adjusted to the outer interference field of the hearing device components such that interference currents induced in the antenna by means of field input coupling compensate.

Abstract: To minimize an unusable free volume in a housing of a hearing apparatus, a hearing apparatus is proposed, which includes a housing, which has a predetermined form and at least one active, electronic component, which is arranged in the housing, with the component having a form, which is adjusted to the form of the housing and/or to the form of another component of the hearing apparatus. As a result, the unusable residual volume in the hearing apparatus can be minimized and a smaller form of the housing can in general thus be achieved.
