HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE
First Claim
1. A wireless device, comprising:
- a processor for processing a received signal to generate at least one processed received signal, the processor configured to generate the at least one processed received signal using parameters corresponding to one of a plurality of output coupling modes; and
an output stage comprising a speaker with a coil and an additional device telecoil, the output stage configured to generate an output signal based on the at least one processed received signal;
wherein in at least one output coupling mode, the processor is configured to generate two processed received signals, wherein one of the two processed received signals is provided to the speaker, and wherein one other of the two processed received signals is provided to the additional device telecoil.

Abstract
A wireless communications device and method for providing an output signal. The device includes a control unit for controlling the operation of the wireless communications device; a selection element connected to the control unit and configured to allow selection of several modes of output coupling for generating the output signal of the device; and, a processor connected to the control unit for processing a received signal with parameters selected according to a selected mode of output coupling. The several modes of output coupling correspond to several modes of input operation for a hearing aid to improve coupling between the device and the hearing aid.
