Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating an electronic device (6), the device (6) comprising a receiver (8) for receiving a wireless analogue signal (10), a converter (12) for converting the received analogue signal (14) to a digital input signal (16, 16?), a signal processor (18) for generating a digital output signal (20) from the input signal (16, 16?), and a transmitter (22) for transmitting the output signal (20) as a wireless digital signal (24), wherein the input signal (16?) is filtered to generate the output signal (20) such that a noise signal (30) in the input signal (16?) generated by the signal processor (18) and/or the transmitter (22) is reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to an audio assist system, comprising a hearing aid, an external handheld device and an audio system comprising a Bluetooth audio transmitter, wherein the hearing aid comprises a Bluetooth receiver. The hearing aid and the external handheld device are temporarily connected via a wireless data link, and both the audio system and the external handheld device each comprise an infrared receiver and/or transmitter for establishing an at least unidirectional IR link between the external handheld device and the audio system.

Abstract: A binaural hearing instrument set is described in which algorithms are split into a server part and a thin-client part. The respective server part of the algorithm is located in a first hearing instrument unit, while the thin-client part is located in a second unit in the binaural hearing instrument set. This is advantageous in that it enables optimization of the usage of combined processing resources in the two units.
