Abstract

A method ( 32 ) for operating a hearing device system ( 2 ) containing a hearing device ( 4 ) that has a signal processing device ( 12 ) by way of which an output signal ( 24 ) is produced from an input signal ( 22 ) according to an n-dimensional parameter vector ( 26 ). The parameter vector ( 26 ) is restricted to a subspace ( 48 ) of the n-dimensional parameter space ( 40 ), the restriction being produced according to a behavior of a user. There is also described a hearing device system ( 2 ).

Claims (14)

1 . A method for operating a hearing device system containing a hearing device with a signal processing device, the method comprising:

receiving an input signal and producing from the input signal an output signal by the signal processing device based on an n-dimensional parameter vector;

the n-dimensional parameter vector being restricted to a subspace of an n-dimensional parameter space, and a restriction of the n-dimensional parameter vector being produced in dependence on a behavior of a user of the hearing device.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , which comprises choosing a trajectory as the subspace.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , which comprises selecting the parameter vector from the subspace according to a setting of a slide control.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , which comprises displaying the slide control on a display of a portable device that is coupled to the hearing device for signal transfer.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , which comprises generating the subspace on a basis of multiple discrete points.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , which comprises determining the subspace between two discrete points by way of a straight line running between the discrete points.

7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein a discrete point used in each case is an acoustic scenario having been experienced by the user.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the discrete points are arranged according to a change between respective acoustic scenarios.

9 . The method according to claim 5 , which comprises creating the discrete points by checking a manual setting of the parameters.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , which comprises outputting a notification after creating the subspace.

11 . A hearing device system, comprising:

a hearing device containing a signal processor configured to be operated with the method according to claim 1 .
