Method For Operating A Hearing Device And Hearing Device
A method operates a hearing device for a user. In the method, electromyography is performed, in which a muscle activity of an auricular muscle of the user is measured by an electrode array. The muscle activity is continuously measured to detect a complex activity profile of the auricular muscle, in which the user's intention is coded. The electrode array generates a sensor signal that is classified by means of a classifier, and in this classification process, the muscle activity is decoded and the underlying intention is determined by examining whether the sensor signal has a previously known feature vector. The previously known feature vector is assigned to an operating mode of the hearing device, which is set when the sensor signal has the previously known feature vector.

- 1. A method for operating a hearing device of a user, which comprises the steps of:
carrying out an electromyography step in which muscle activity of an auricular muscle of the user is measured using an electrode array; continuously measuring the muscle activity to detect a complex activity profile of the auricular muscle in which an underlying intention of the user is coded; generating, via the electrode array, a sensor signal that is classified by means of a classifier in which the muscle activity is decoded and the underlying intention is determined by examining whether the sensor signal has a previously known feature vector; and assigning the previously known feature vector to an operating mode of the hearing device that is set if the sensor signal has the previously known feature vector.
- 25. A hearing device, comprising:
a control unit for operating the hearing device, said control unit programmed to:
carry out an electromyography step in which muscle activity of an auricular muscle of a user is measured using an electrode array;
continuously measure the muscle activity to detect a complex activity profile of the auricular muscle in which an underlying intention of the user is coded;
generate, via the electrode array, a sensor signal that is classified by means of a classifier in which the muscle activity is decoded and the underlying intention is determined by examining whether the sensor signal has a previously known feature vector; and
assign the previously known feature vector to an operating mode of the hearing device that is set if the sensor signal has the previously known feature vector.
