Abstract:
1. A hearing aid device, comprising: at least one input transducer configured to acquire an input signal and transduce it into an electrical signal; a detector for detecting a line signal that deflects an electron beam generated in an image tube output by a screen device that is devoid of any information encoded specifically for the hearing aid device; a signal processing unit configured to process and amplify the electrical signal, the signal processing unit being adaptable to different auditory situations by at least one adjustable parameter that can be automatically adjusted dependent on the line signal, wherein one of the auditory situations is a display auditory situation and is selected whenever the hearing aid device is in the presence of a powered display and is deselected when the hearing aid device is not in the presence of a powered display; and an output transducer to transduce the processed electrical signal into an acoustic or mechanical output signal.
