Abstract: A method selects a communication status for a first mobile terminal. The first mobile terminal assumes a “slave” status during a first time period and waits to see whether, by a communication request from another mobile terminal to the first mobile terminal, a connection is set up to the other mobile terminal. If a connection is set up, the first mobile terminal constantly assumes the “slave” status and the other mobile terminal constantly assumes a “master” status. After the first time period without a communication request from another mobile terminal, the first mobile terminal switches from the “slave” status to the “master” status for a second time period and sends a number of communication requests to set up a connection to another mobile terminal and, if a connection is set up in this way, constantly assumes the “master” status and the other mobile terminal constantly assumes the “slave” status.

Abstract: Fine customization of a hearing aid to the individual hearing environments and habits of a user are to be simplified and improved. To this end, when the hearing aid is turned on or when the hearing aid is switched to a particular operating mode, neither the value most recently valid for the parameter prior to turning off or switching to a different operating mode nor the parameter value transferred to the hearing aid at the beginning of programming is set. Rather, from the changes to the value of the parameter taking place during operation of the hearing aid a new start value is ascertained and stored, which value is then set automatically after turning on or switching mode.
