Personal communication device having application software for controlling the operation of at least one hearing aid
First Claim
1. A hearing system including at least one hearing aid and a personal communication device each including a respective short-range radio transceiver for providing a short-range radio communication link,wherein the personal communication device includes application software adapted for providing a user interface for controlling the operation of the at least one hearing aid,wherein the at least one hearing aid has a processor and a user operable control,wherein the processor, upon activation of the user operable control, is adapted for the sending of an activation signal to the personal communication device;
- andwherein the personal communication device has a processor adapted for opening, upon reception of the activation signal from the at least one hearing aid, the user interface for controlling the operation of the at least one hearing aid.
