Abstract
The programmable hearing aid has a fuzzy controller allocated to the amplifier and transmission circuit, which is connected between the microphone and the earphone, for automatic switching and matching of the transmission characteristics to the current ambient situation. The fuzzy controller undertakes a selection of the parameter sets or parameters stored in a data carrier of the hearing aid for the modification of transmission characteristics of the hearing aid dependent on input quantities characteristic of the current ambient situation.
