Remote control for hearing aid devices
First Claim
1. A remote control for a hearing aid device comprising:
- a housing having a plurality of housing sides, with a first of said housing sides being disposed in an easily tactilely distinguishable relation to a second of said housing sides;
first operating elements disposed on said first of said housing side for, upon actuation of any of said first operating elements, effecting transmission of a control signal from the housing to a hearing aid device;
at least one second operating element disposed on said second of said housing sides, with actuation of said at least one second operating element causing both transmission of a signal from said housing to a hearing aid device and transmission of a signal from the hearing aid device to the housing; and
an indicator generator at said housing for, dependent on said signal from said hearing aid device to said housing, generating a humanly perceptible indicator of at least one of a property of the hearing aid device, a state of the hearing aid device, and a setting of the hearing aid device.

Abstract
A remote control for a hearing aid device prevents incorrect operation by having operating elements that effect a signal transmission from the remote control to a hearing aid device disposed on a first side of the remote control housing, and operating elements that additionally effect a signal transmission from the hearing aid device back to the remote control disposed on a second housing side of the remote control. The first and second housing sides are disposed in an easily tactilely distinguishable relation to each other, such as by being substantially orthogonal. The different functions of the operating elements and therefore can be differentiated purely by contact with the remote control.
