Method and arrangement for exchanging data with a hearing device
View Patent ↗Data is exchanged between a hearing device and a connectable unit. The data, such as an identification code, may be read from the unit. Data may also be output to the connectable unit. The connectable unit may include a random access memory. Furthermore, the connectable unit may include a sequence control element.
1. A method for exchanging data between a hearing device and connectable units, comprising:
providing the hearing device;
selecting a unit;
connecting the selected unit to the hearing device;
detecting via the hearing device when a contact exists with the connected unit;
reading an identification code from a memory of the detected unit by the hearing device; and
reading a further parameter stored on the selected unit by the hearing device,
wherein a signal processing algorithm is activated on the selected unit by the hearing device based on the identification code and the further parameter.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the parameter is read at a predetermined interval after detecting the contact.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an operating parameter is activated on the selected unit by the hearing device based on the identification code and the further parameter.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
outputting data to the selected unit by the hearing device.
5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein data output to the selected unit includes an operating parameter.
6. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein data output to the selected unit include a signal processing algorithm.
7. A system for exchanging data between a hearing device and a connectable unit, comprising:
the hearing device;
the connectable unit comprises:
a contact spring, and
a memory, a identification code and a further parameter,
wherein the connectable unit is embodied such that the connectable unit transmits the identification code and the further parameter to the hearing device after a contact is established with the hearing device via the contact spring,
wherein the hearing aid is adapted to activate a signal processing algorithm on the selected unit by the hearing device based on the identification code and the further parameter.
8. The arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , with the memory includes random access memory.
9. The arrangement as claimed in claim 8 , with the unit includes a sequence control element.
10. The arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , with the unit includes an electroacoustic converter.
