Method for adjusting a hearing device with a standardization of processing values
View Patent ↗A hearing device wearer is to have improved possibilities of being able to perform a fine adjustment of his/her hearing device according to a basic setting. To this end, each processing value of a multi-channel processing system is standardized, in particular a filter bank, to a respectively associated basic setting value. A fine adjustment of the processing values to the hearing device wearer can now be carried out in relation to the standardized processing values starting from a standardized base line. It is thus possible for the hearing device wearer to implement a standardization of the setting values at any point in time and based hereupon to intuitively perform his/her setting requests.
1. A method for adjusting a hearing device which has a multi-channel processing unit, comprising:
setting each individual processing value for each channel of the processing unit to a respective basic setting value which is individual to a hearing device wearer;
standardizing each of the processing values to the respectively associated basic setting value; and
adjusting the processing values to the hearing device wearer relative to the standardized processing values,
wherein the relative adjustments are facilitated via a drop-down menu, with which one of a number of predetermined relative adjustment value combinations, which represent relative adjustment values for all channels, can be selected.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises optically representing the basic setting values and the relative adjustments of the processing values for each channel.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a maximum value that cannot be exceeded via the relative adjustment is optically represented for each channel.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processing unit is a filter bank and the processing values are filter values.
5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , further comprises optically representing the basic setting values and the relative adjustments of the processing values for each channel.
6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a maximum value that cannot be exceeded via the relative adjustment is optically represented for each channel.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a relative rise in the adjustment values only taking place in those channels which represent a midrange of acoustically perceptible frequencies.
