Abstract

Die Signalqualität bei einer Hörvorrichtung und insbesondere bei einem Hörgerät, die/das mehrere Eingangskanäle besitzt, soll verbessert werden. Hierzu ist eine Hörvorrichtung mit mehreren Eingangskanaleinrichtungen (IN1, IN2, IN3, ..., INn) jeweils zum Aufnehmen und Vorverarbeiten eines Eingangssignals sowie zum Ausgeben eines jeweiligen Kanalsignals und einer zentralen Recheneinrichtung (DSP) zur Verarbeitung von mehreren Kanalsignalen der Eingangskanaleinrichtungen vorgesehen. Mindestens eine der mehreren Eingangskanaleinrichtungen (IN1, IN2, IN3, ..., INn) ist durch die zentrale Recheneinrichtung (DSP) in Abhängigkeit von mindestens zwei der mehreren Kanalsignale steuerbar. Durch diese Rückkopplung können anhand zentraler Informationen der Recheneinrichtung (DSP) dezentrale Gewichtungen oder Abschaltungen von Eingangskanalkomponenten durchgeführt werden. In letzterem Fall lässt sich zusätzlich der Stromverbrauch reduzieren.

The signal quality in a hearing device and in particular in a hearing aid that has multiple input channels should be improved. For this purpose, a hearing device with a plurality of input channel devices (IN1, IN2, IN3, ..., INn) is provided for receiving and preprocessing an input signal and for outputting a respective channel signal and a central processing device (DSP) for processing a plurality of channel signals of the input channel devices. At least one of the plurality of input channel devices (IN1, IN2, IN3, ..., INn) is controllable by the central processing device (DSP) as a function of at least two of the plurality of channel signals. By means of this feedback, decentralized weightings or shutdowns of input channel components can be carried out on the basis of central information of the computing device (DSP). In the latter case, the power consumption can be additionally reduced.
