A BTE prosthetic device for use in a medical system or prosthesis comprises a connector configured to mechanically attach an auxiliary device of the system to the BTE prosthetic device. The connector is electrically connected to a transceiver of the BTE prosthetic device. The connector operates as an electromagnetic antenna for transmitting and/or receiving signals between the BTE prosthetic and other components of the medical system.

A method is specified for establishing a short-range radio link, in particular a Bluetooth connection, between a first device and a second device. A charging unit, which is configured to charge a hearing device, mediates the establishment of the short-range radio link. The charging unit transmits pairing data of the first device to the second device to establish the short-range radio link, so that the latter device is paired with the first device and the short-range radio link is established. There are also described a hearing device and a charging unit.

A method transmits a hearing aid setting data set from a first hearing aid to a second hearing aid. By use of an Internet-capable third device, a translation instruction for translating hearing aid setting data contained in the hearing aid setting data set from a platform of the first hearing aid to a platform of the second hearing aid is retrieved from a database. The translation instruction is transmitted to the first or the second hearing aid or to a local fourth device. By the Internet-capable third device, an instruction for transmitting the hearing aid setting data set is output and the hearing aid setting data set is transmitted locally and while bypassing the Internet or a computer network from the first to the second hearing aid. The hearing aid setting data contained in the hearing aid setting data set are translated in the first or the second hearing aid or in the fourth device without access to the Internet or the computer network to the platform of the second hearing aid.

An apparatus and method for reducing power consumption in a hearing aid are provided. The apparatus includes the processes of identifying a magnitude of an input sound pressure applied to a microphone of the hearing aid and deciding an operation mode of the hearing aid based on the magnitude of the input sound pressure.

The disclosure relates to a device for preparing an earpiece for its customization, the device including an energy release unit comprising a receiving chamber for receiving the earpiece and configured to release energy into the receiving chamber. The disclosure further relates to a system for customizing an earpiece comprising the earpiece and the preparing device.

A hearing aid system configured to compensate for a hearing impairment of a use comprises A) a wearable device adapted for being worn by the user and comprising a1) an input stage comprising at least one input transducer for converting sound around the user to at least one electric input signal representing said sound, and a2) an input stage for providing stimuli representative of a processed version of said least one electric input signal to said user, said stimuli being perceivable by said user as sound; and B) a non-wearable device comprising b1) a processor, and b2) a power supply interface for providing power to the processor. The wearable device and the non-wearable device comprise respective transceiver circuitry for establishing a low latency wireless audio communication link between them. The processor of the non-wearable device comprises an audio processor configured to process said at least one electric input signal, or a signal originating therefrom, to at least partially compensate for the hearing impairment of the user and to provide said processed version thereof. The power supply interface of the non-wearable device is electrically connected to an electricity network. Thereby an improved processing power of a hearing aid may be provided. The invention may e.g. be used in flexible hearing aid systems with a situation-dependent configurable processing power.

A wireless headset includes a housing and a power system disposed in a cavity enclosed by the housing and configured to supply power to the wireless headset. The wireless headset further includes a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector disposed on the housing of the wireless headset and are respectively electrically connected to two electrodes of the power system. The housing includes a rod body and an earbud connected to a top of the rod body, wherein the first electrical connector is located at a bottom end of the rod body, and the second electrical connector is located on an outer side wall of the earbud.

Disclosed is a system comprising a hearing device and a charging device. The charging device is configured for receiving the hearing device and for charging the hearing device. The hearing device comprises a hearing device magnet and a receiving charging element. The charging device comprises a charging device magnet and a supplying charging element. The hearing device magnet and the charging device magnet are configured for retaining the hearing device in the charging device when charging. The supplying charging element is configured for performing the charging of the hearing device. The system comprises a magnetisable plate provided between the hearing device magnet and the charging device magnet, when the hearing device is received in the charging device.

A hearing device and a method for charging a hearing device is provided, the hearing device comprising an interface comprising a wireless transceiver configured for wireless communication with a charging device; and a power module comprising a charging controller and a receiving coil for wireless charging of a battery positioned in the hearing device; wherein the charging controller is configured to: obtain a first charging parameter; determine a primary charging scheme based on the first charging parameter; and transmit a primary charging indicator indicative of the primary charging scheme via the wireless transceiver

A system for assisting hearing-impaired persons using landline telephones is provided. The system comprises a portable electronic device that receives a first plurality of electronic signals from a telephone landline via a female modular RJ9 jack resident in the device, the signals comprising audible content. The system routes the first plurality of electronic signals to a first female auditory output resident in the device. The system transmits the signals to a first male-ended listening device connected to the first auditory output. The first male-ended listening device is a hearing aid device accessory adapter used by a first user wearing a hearing aid or a cochlear implant. The portable electronic device receives second electronic signals at a female auditory input from the first user, the second electronic signals representing spoken audible content provided by the first user. A second male-ended device comprising a microphone connects with the auditory input.
