METHOD OF DETERMINING A FIT OF A HEARING DEVICE AND HEARING DEVICE WITH FIT RECOGNITION

摘要

A method is shown which recognizes whether a hearing device system or a hearing device component is fitted correctly in an ear. To this end an acoustic test signal is output by an output device and is received again by a recording device. The test signal received back is compared to the permanently preset reference values of reference criteria in order thereby to obtain a status signal. The status signal contains information about the fit. In other words, it is possible to establish by the status signal whether the hearing device system is correctly fitted. Furthermore a hearing device system is shown which is suitable for performing the method.

1. A method for determining a fit of a hearing device or a component of the hearing device on and in an ear, which comprises the steps of:
transmitting a test signal as a transmit test signal from an output device of the hearing device; receiving at least a part of the transmit test signal as a received test signal by a recording device of the hearing device for sound; comparing the received test signal using a signal processing device to at least one reference value of a reference criterion stored in the signal processing device; and generating a status signal in dependence on a result of a comparison between the received test signal and the at least one reference value, the status signal containing information about a fitting status of the hearing device, and the at least one reference value is preset and cannot be changed by a hearing device wearer.
