Abstract: A method for operating a hearing device is specified. The hearing device is assigned to a user and connected to other hearing devices, which are each assigned to another user, for data exchange in a common network. The hearing device or one of the other hearing devices controls the data exchange by subscribing to the network as a master, and wherein all other hearing devices subscribe to the network as a slave. It is decided whether the hearing device subscribes to the network as a master or as a slave by determining the operational capability of the hearing device and comparing it with the operational capability of the other hearing devices and by the hearing device acting as a master if the hearing device has the highest operational capability, and otherwise as a slave.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for remotely logging out one or more registered communication devices associated with a common extension through a requesting communication device in the registered communication devices. The requesting communication device renders a list of registered communication devices associated with the extension of a user to a display. The user of the requesting communication device selects at least one of the registered communication devices, by a touch input at the display, to unregister the at least one registered communication device from the extension. In response, a message is automatically sent from the requesting communication device to a server to update the registration status of the selected at least one registered communication device. The server then terminates the registration of the at least one registered communication device from the extension associated with the user restricting the at least one registered communication device from accessing the extension.
