  • Publication number: 20160249144
    Abstract: An analysis unit is associated with a hearing aid but formed separately therefrom and set up for unidirectional signal transmission to the hearing. The analysis unit is used to ascertain a wearer-specific problem with the current operating state and storing the problem in the analysis unit as a first data record element. The analysis unit then outputs a control signal to the hearing aid, with reception thereof prompting the hearing aid to store a number of operating data as a second data record element. These two data record elements are later retrieved from the analysis unit and the hearing aid by a setting unit, connected and evaluated, and then new hearing aid settings are ascertained for the hearing aid.

  • Patent number: 8180079
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for setting a characteristic of a source hearing device on target hearing device are provided. A transformation database is created. A source hearing device including the setting of the source hearing device are identified, the characteristic of setting is to be set on the target hearing device. The setting which, according to the transformation database on the target hearing device, results in the characteristic corresponding to the characteristic of the identified source hearing device is recalled. The target hearing device is set using the recalled setting. Settings are stored in the transformation database during their creation, which have to be set to hearing devices of different types to be set in order to grant these hearing devices the characteristic of other identified hearing with identified settings.
