Abstract
Die Anpassungsfähigkeit eines Hörgerätesystems (1, 20) an schwierige Hörumgebungen soll verbessert werden. Hierzu sieht die Erfindung ein Hörgerätesystem (1, 20) mit einem Hörgerät (20) und einer externen Prozessoreinheit (1) vor, wobei die externe Prozessoreinheit (1) einer bestimmten Hörumgebung fest zugeordnet ist. Die externe Prozessoreinheit (1) ist für den lang andauernden Verbleib in der jeweiligen Hörumgebung ausgebildet und auch die Signalverarbeitung eines akustischen Eingangssignals in der externen Prozessoreinheit (1) ist speziell an die jeweilige Hörumgebung angepasst. Vorzugsweise besteht eine drahtlose Signalübertragung zwischen dem Hörgerät (20) und der externen Prozessoreinheit (1). The adaptability of a hearing aid system (1, 20) to difficult listening environments is to be improved. For this purpose, the invention provides a hearing device system (1, 20) with a hearing device (20) and an external processor unit (1), the external processor unit (1) being permanently assigned to a specific listening environment. The external processor unit (1) is designed for long-term retention in the respective listening environment, and also the signal processing of an acoustic input signal in the external processor unit (1) is specially adapted to the respective listening environment. Preferably, there is a wireless signal transmission between the hearing aid (20) and the external processor unit (1).
