Binaural hearing device and method to operate the hearing device

摘要

A hearing device is proposed comprising at least one microphone (1), at least one analog-to-digital converter (2), a signal processing unit (3), a communication unit (6) for establishing and/or maintaining a communication link to a second hearing device, and a detection unit (7) for determining a communication link quality. The at least one microphone (1) is operationally connected to the signal processing unit (3) via the at least one analog-to-digital converter (2), and the communication unit (6) is operationally connected to the signal processing unit (3). By providing said detection unit (7), which is operationally connected to the communication unit (6), together with a processing scheme selectable in the signal processing unit (3) in accordance to a determined communication link quality, a binaural hearing system with two hearing devices is for able to adjust its mode in line with the communication link quality, and therewith its capacity.

1. A hearing device comprising:
at least one microphone; at least one analog-to-digital converter; a signal processing unit; and a detection unit adapted for determining a quality of a wired or wireless signal communication link established and/or maintained between the hearing device and a further hearing device, wherein the at least one microphone is operationally connected to the signal processing unit via the at least one analog-to-digital converter, and wherein the signal processing unit is configured to select an audio signal processing scheme in accordance with the quality of the communication link determined by the detection unit, and wherein the hearing device determines a momentary acoustic scene, and wherein an operational mode of the hearing device is selectable dependent on the quality of the communication link quality determined by the detection unit, and the audio signal processing scheme is further selectable in accordance with the momentary acoustic scene determined.
