Abstract

In order to make the operation, control and/or program selection of a hearing aid easier and in order to make manual operations and actuation means superfluous, the operation (switching on/off, setting softer/louder, selection of a program matched to an auditory/ambient situation) or the control of a part that influences the transmission characteristic of the amplifier ensues in the hearing aid by recognizing and evaluating a code word spoken by the hearing aid user.
