Abstract
The selection of a plurality of sound sources for the purposes of preferential presentation should be structured to be more convenient for hearing instrument wearers. For this purpose, provision is made to separate the signals of the plurality of sources picked up and present them one after another with the aid of a corresponding control unit. On the basis of the presentation, the user can, likewise by means of the control units, select one of the plurality of signals for the purposes of further processing. The selection is preferably effected by pressing a button or by looking in the direction of the desired source plus pressing a button by way of acknowledgment.
