Abstract
Data is wirelessly transferred between a hearing aid and an external device, wherein the hearing aid via an internal receiving device, receives data being sent form the external device via a wireless connection. The hearing aid is in a receiving mode when data from the external device is sent via the wireless connection, wherein the receiving device is then permanently in the on-position for receiving data. Furthermore, the hearing aid switches to a stand-by mode, when no data is sent via the wireless connection from the external device, wherein the receiving device is alternatively turned on and off, in order to detect a beginning data transfer from the external device.

17. A method for a wireless data transfer between a hearing aid and an external device, comprising:
-
receiving data sent from the external device by an internal receiving device in the hearing aid, the data received via a wireless connection; switching the hearing aid into a receiving mode in response to the receiving data;
wherein while the internal receiving device is in the receiving mode the internal receiving device is constantly switched on in order to receive the data; andswitching the hearing aid to a standby mode in response to no data being received from the external device via the wireless connection, wherein while the internal receiving device is in the standby mode the internal receiving device is alternately switched on and off in order to detect the receipt of further data from the external device via the wireless connection. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A hearing, comprising:
-
an internal receiving device to receive data from an external device via a wireless connection, a plurality of operating modes in which a behavior of internal receiving device is modified based on a current operating mode. wherein when the current operating mode is a receiving mode the internal receiving device is constantly switched on, wherein when the current operating mode is a standby mode the internal receiving device is alternately switched on and off, wherein the current operating mode is switched from the receiving mode to the standby mode when no data is received from the internal receiving for a predetermined duration of time, and wherein the current operating mode is switched from the standby mode to the receiving mode when data is received during the switched on phase of the internal receiving device. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36)
