Remote-controllable, programmable, hearing aid system
First Claim
1. A remote-controllable, programmable hearing air system, comprising an external control unit (1) and a hear air (2), said external control unit includes an input device (3), a display (7) for operator prompting and a transmitter for optional transmission of different groups of control parameters to said hearing air, said hearing aid having a receiving circuit and a signal processing circuit whose transmission characteristic can be optionally adjusted at any time by a set of said control parameters transmitted by said external control unit, wherein said remote control unit contains a first memory (5) for storing audiometric data, a second memory (6) for storing data characterizing different environmental situations, and a data processing device (4) for determination of a set of control parameters from the contents of said first and second memories.

Abstract
A remote-controllable, programmable hearing aid system, including of a hearing aid (2) with incorporated amplifier and with a signal processing circuit whose transmission characteristic can be determined at any time by a set of control parameters, and an external control unit (1) with a transmitter for wireless transmission of control parameters to the hearing aid. A receiving circuit for receiving the control parameters is located in the hearing aid. This system is characterized in that an input device (3) is provided for input of data/information, and a data processing device (4) is provided for derivation of control parameters from the audiometric data/information for transmission from the control unit to the hearing aid.
