Abstract

Ein Hörsystem und insbesondere ein binaurales Hörgerätesystem soll auf einfache Weise gesteuert werden können, wobei der geringe zur Verfügung stehende Bauraum berücksichtigt werden soll. Hierzu ist ein Hörsystem mit einer ersten Hörvorrichtung (1) und einer zweiten Hörvorrichtung (2) vorgesehen. Die erste Hörvorrichtung (1) weist einen Permanentmagneten (11) auf. Die zweite Hörvorrichtung (2) besitzt einen Magnetfeldsensor (22), so dass die zweite Hörvorrichtung (2) in vorbestimmter Weise steuerbar ist, wenn sich die erste Hörvorrichtung (1) in räumlicher Nähe der zweiten Hörvorrichtung (2) befindet und der Magnetfeldsensor (22) deswegen das Magnetfeld des Permanentmagneten (11) oder einen entsprechenden magnetischen Fluss detektiert. Insbesondere kann das Sensorsignal zum Abschalten der zweiten Hörvorrichtung (2) verwendet werden. Vorzugsweise besitzt die erste Hörvorrichtung (1) einen gespiegelten Aufbau, so dass auch sie bei der Annäherung an die zweite Hörvorrichtung (2) steuerbar bzw. schaltbar ist.

A hearing system and in particular a binaural hearing aid system should be able to be controlled in a simple manner, whereby the small amount of space available should be taken into account. For this purpose, a hearing system with a first hearing device (1) and a second hearing device (2) is provided. The first hearing device (1) has a permanent magnet (11). The second hearing device (2) has a magnetic field sensor (22), so that the second hearing device (2) is controllable in a predetermined manner, when the first hearing device (1) is in spatial proximity of the second hearing device (2) and the magnetic field sensor (22 ) therefore detects the magnetic field of the permanent magnet (11) or a corresponding magnetic flux. In particular, the sensor signal can be used to switch off the second hearing device (2). Preferably, the first hearing device (1) has a mirrored structure, so that it too can be controlled or switched upon approaching the second hearing device (2).
