Abstract
A hearing aid system comprises a hearing aid (1) and an external device (2). The external device (2) continuously sends short range power-off commands (4) to the hearing aid (1). Under normal operation of a hearing aid, the range is too short to power-off the hearing. When the hearing aid (1) is placed in close proximity of the external device (2), the hearing aid is within range (3) and will consequently power-off. The method further provides a method of controlling a hearing aid.
