  • Publication number: 20090030382
    Abstract: A medical device (1) comprising a memory (21), a processor (20), a medical device interface (2), and a program configured to process data obtained or generated by the medical device (1) into a format readable by a personal computer browser or spreadsheet program. The program further is configured to automatically initiate the computer browser or spreadsheet program of a personal computer (5) to display the processed data using standard software when the medical device interface (2) is connected to a personal computer interface (4).

  • Patent number: 7054449
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a transmission characteristic of an electronic circuit, in a hearing aid. The hearing aid is connected with a computer. The current operating parameters of the hearing aid are transmitted to the computer. The computer from the operating parameters, calculates the current transmission characteristic and represents it on a monitor screen as a three-dimensional graphic diagram. The acoustics specialist, with the help of a mouse, selects a point of a segment of the graphic diagram and modifies the graphically depicted transmission characteristic. As a result the current operating parameters are modified as well. From these, a new current transmission characteristic is calculated and represented on the monitor screen as a three-dimensional graphic. This adaptation process is repeated until the current transmission characteristic coincides with the desired response. Then the current operating parameters are transmitted from the computer to the hearing aid and there stored in memory.

  • Publication number: 20020044148
    Abstract: In the method for the adjusting of a transmission characteristic of an electronic circuit, for example, in a hearing aid (1), a computer (2) with a monitor screen (3) and a mouse (4) are made ready. The hearing aid (1) to be adjusted is connected with the computer (2). The current operating parameters of the hearing aid (1) are transmitted to the computer (2). The computer (2) from the operating parameters calculates the current transmission characteristic and represents this on the monitor screen (3) as a three-dimensional graphic diagram. The acoustics specialist with the help of the mouse (3) selects a point of a segment of the graphic diagram and modifies the graphically depicted transmission characteristic by moving the mouse (4). As a result of this, also the current operating parameters are modified. From these, a new current transmission characteristic is calculated and represented on the monitor screen (3) as a three-dimensional graphic diagram.
