Abstract

Die Erfindung gibt ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Hörgeräts (30) mit mindestens zwei omnidirektionalen, Mikrofonsignale (40) abgebenden Mikrofonen (31) und einer Detektionseinheit (37) zum Feststellen einer akustischen Rückkopplung (34) an. Das Verfahren umfasst eine erste elektrische Verschaltung (35) der Mikrofone (31) miteinander zur Bildung eines ersten Signals (41) mit Richtwirkung, eine Einstellung der Richtwirkung des ersten Signals (41) derart, dass die akustische Rückkopplung im ersten Signal (41) maximiert wird, und eine Analyse des ersten Signals (41) durch die Detektionseinheit (37) zum Feststellen der akustischen Rückkopplung. Die Erfindung gibt auch ein zugehöriges Hörgerät (30) an. Vorteilhaft daran ist, dass eine Detektion der Rückkopplung durch ein Signal (41) mit verbessertem Signal/Rauschverhältnis erfolgen kann. Rückkopplungen werden so verlässlicher und schneller erkannt.

The invention provides a method for operating a hearing device (30) with at least two omnidirectional microphones (31) emitting microphone signals (40) and a detection unit (37) for detecting an acoustic feedback (34). The method comprises a first electrical interconnection (35) of the microphones (31) with each other to form a first signal (41) with directivity, an adjustment of the directivity of the first signal (41) such that the acoustic feedback in the first signal (41) maximizes and an analysis of the first signal (41) by the acoustic feedback detection unit (37). The invention also provides an associated hearing aid (30). The advantage of this is that a detection of the feedback by a signal (41) can be carried out with improved signal / noise ratio. Feedback is thus detected more reliably and faster.
