Abstract:
A method for operating a hearing apparatus that has a microphone for converting ambient sound into a microphone signal, involves a number of features being derived from the microphone signal. Three classifiers, which are implemented independently of one another for analyzing a respective assigned acoustic dimension, are each supplied with a specifically assigned selection from these features. The respective classifier is used to generate a respective piece of information about a manifestation of the acoustic dimension assigned to the classifier. At least one of the at least three pieces of information about the respective manifestation of the assigned acoustic dimension is then taken as a basis for altering a signal processing algorithm that is executed for the purpose of processing the microphone signal to produce an output signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for operating a hearing apparatus having at least one microphone for converting ambient sound into a microphone signal, which comprises the steps of:\n deriving a plurality of features from the microphone signal or an input signal formed from the microphone signal; supplying the features to at least three classifiers, the classifiers being implemented independently of one another for analyzing a respectively assigned acoustic dimension, each of the classifiers being supplied with a specifically assigned selection of the features; generating, via a respective classifier, a respective piece of information about a manifestation of the respectively assigned acoustic dimension assigned to the respective classifier; and taking at least one of at least three pieces of information about the manifestation of the respectively assigned acoustic dimension as a basis for altering at least one signal processing algorithm that is executed for processing the microphone signal or the input signal to produce an output signal.
