Abstract

Die manuelle Bedienung von Hörgeräten soll vereinfacht werden. Hierzu wird eine Fernbedienung (3) vorgeschlagen, die über eine Projektionseinrichtung verfügt, um virtuelle Tasten (5, 6) auf einen Handrücken (7) zu projizieren. Eine Sensoreinrichtung erfasst gegebenenfalls eine Betätigung der virtuellen Tasten (5, 6), woraufhin ein entsprechendes Steuersignal drahtlos zu dem Hörgerät (1) übertragen wird. Damit können sehr große Tasten (5, 6) speziell für ältere Patienten zur Verfügung gestellt werden.

The manual operation of hearing aids should be simplified. For this purpose, a remote control (3) is proposed, which has a projection device to project virtual buttons (5, 6) on a back of the hand (7). If necessary, a sensor device detects an actuation of the virtual buttons (5, 6), whereupon a corresponding control signal is wirelessly transmitted to the hearing device (1). This allows very large buttons (5, 6) to be made available especially for older patients.
