HEARING AID WITH UV SENSOR AND METHOD OF OPERATION
First Claim
1. A hearing aid, comprising:
- a UV sensor supplying an output signal;
a signal processing device connected to said UV sensor;
said signal processing device configured to operate by using different signal processing parameters; and
said signal processing device configured to set at least one signal processing parameter as a function of said output signal of said UV sensor.

Abstract
A hearing aid and a method for operating a hearing aid include a signal processing device operable by using different signal processing parameters and a UV sensor connected to the signal processing device. The signal processing device can set at least one signal processing parameter as a function of an output signal of the UV sensor. At least one predetermined signal processing parameter can be set in each case for within and outside of enclosed spaces. It is possible to reliably distinguish between environmental situations within and outside of enclosed spaces by using the UV light intensity in the environment to be measured by the UV sensor, so that the method of operation of the hearing aid, e.g. of an aural program, is advantageously automatically matched to these two environmental situations.
