Abstract: A method for operating a hearing device having an input transducer, a signal processing device and an output transducer includes using the input transducer to generate an input signal. The signal processing device has a quality checking unit used to take the input signal as a basis for determining a measure of a signal quality. The quality checking unit is configured for two operating modes, specifically a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The signal processing device has an own voice checking unit used to take the input signal as a basis for determining an activity of an own voice. The quality checking unit is operated in the first operating mode if no activity of an own voice is determined and in the second operating mode if an activity of the own voice is determined. A hearing device and a computer program product perform the method.

Abstract: A hearing instrument system has a hearing instrument with a housing and at least one loudspeaker arranged in the housing connected to an environment of the housing via a sound conduction channel. The hearing instrument system further has a controller configured to ascertain whether at least one starting condition for initiating a cleaning mode for the sound conduction channel is present. If the or one of multiple, as appropriate, starting conditions is present, initiate the cleaning mode, and during the cleaning mode, output an audio signal with a specified waveform with a varying period using the loudspeaker.

Abstract: A method for operating a hearing device, in particular a hearing aid, which has a wind noise canceller and a motion sensor, includes adjusting the wind noise canceller as a function of measurement data recorded by the motion sensor. A hearing device which is operated according to the method is also provided.
