Abstract:
A method for detecting a defect in a hearing instrument that has at least one first input transducer and at least one output transducer. A first transfer function of a first acoustic system, which includes the output transducer and the first input transducer, is determined, and at least a first reference function for the first transfer function is determined. The first transfer function is compared with the first reference function and a defect in the hearing instrument is detected based on the comparison. A hearing instrument with an input transducer and an output transducer is set up to carry out the method.

Claim (Index 15):
The method according to  claim 14 , which comprises:\n detecting a defect of one or both of the first input transducer and the output transducer. predetermining a first limit value, a second limit value and a third limit value; taking a first difference from the first transfer function and the first reference function; taking a second difference from the second transfer function and the second reference function; taking a third difference from the first transfer function and the second transfer function; and detecting a defect at the first input transducer when the first difference exceeds the first limit value in at least one frequency range, while the second difference does not exceed the second limit value; and/or detecting a defect in the output transducer when frequency ranges exist for the first difference and second difference respectively in which the first limit value or the second limit value is exceeded, yet the third difference does not exceed the third limit value.
