A SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING AND/OR CONTROLLING A HEARING AID, A MOBILE APPLICATION FOR ADJUSTING AND/OR CONTROLLING A HEARING AID, AND A METHOD FOR ADJUSTING AND/OR CONTROLLING A HEARING AID VIA AN OPTICAL DATA LINK

摘要

The present invention relates to a system for adjusting and/or controlling a hearing aid (1), especially an extended wear hearing aid (1) intended to be worn deeply within an ear canal (10) of a user. The proposed system comprises a hearing aid (1) with an optical signal detector (5) for receiving signal processing settings and/or control data via an optical signal and a handheld device (6) with a display (7) and/or a flashlight (7'), whereby the handheld device (6) is adapted to execute a mobile application comprising code configured to generate an optical signal with the display (7) and/or the flashlight (7') representative of the signal processing settings and/or the control data. The invention further provides a mobile application for adjusting and/or controlling such a hearing aid (1) as well as a method for adjusting and/or controlling such a hearing aid (1).
