A method of providing a custom visual marking on a earing device includes: providing a hearing device comprising a behind-the-ear (BTE) component, an in-the-ear (ITE) component, and a connector having a proximal end connected to the ITE component and a distal end connected to the BTE component, the connector comprising a flexible member extending between the proximal and distal ends; arranging the BTE component behind the ear of the user, and arranging the ITE component in the ear canal of the user so that the connector has a covered portion inserted in the ear canal and an exposed portion outside the ear canal; and providing a visual marking on the connector, wherein the visual marking distinguishes the covered portion from the exposed portion. Further disclosed is a connector and a hearing device.

Method for providing visual markings on a connector for a hearing device

Disclosed herein is an apparatus comprising a camera and a processing unit operatively coupled to the camera, wherein the processing unit is configured to: receive a sequence of images captured by the camera; process a first image of the received sequence of images to compute respective likelihoods of each of a plurality of predetermined facial features being visible in the first image; compute, from the computed likelihoods, a probability that the first image depicts a predetermined first side of a human head; responsive to at least the computed probability exceeding the predetermined detection probability, trigger performance of a predetermined action.

Triggering a head-pose dependent action

A digital assistance for assisting a wearer of a hearing device to correctly arrange the hearing device with respect to an ear of the wearer, includes: a control configured to enable a preview of a first image to be displayed, wherein the first image is generated by a camera; wherein the control is also configured to enable a capturing of the first image, the first image showing at least the ear of the wearer with the hearing device arranged in and/or at the ear of the wearer; and wherein the digital assistance also comprises a comparator configured to perform a comparison between (1) the first image showing the at least the ear of the wearer with the hearing device and (2) a reference image.

Application for assisting a hearing device wearer

Disclosed is a connector for providing sound into an ear canal of a user. The connector is configured to connect a behind-the-ear, BTE, component of a hearing device to an ITE component of the hearing device. The connector comprises a first portion configured to be connected to the ITE component of the hearing device and configured to be at least partly inserted into an ear canal of the user. The first portion is configured to extend at least partly in the ear canal of the user when the connector is in its intended position at the ear of the user. The connector further comprises at least one identifiable marker being a user guide.

Connector and a hearing device comprising said connector

A hearing system includes a hearing device, the hearing device comprising: an input module for providing a first input signal, the input module comprising a first microphone; a processor for processing the first input signal and providing a processor output signal based on the first input signal; and a receiver for providing an audio output signal based on the processor output signal; wherein the hearing system is configured to obtain a user input indicative of a change from a first primary setting to a first secondary setting of the hearing device, and wherein the hearing device, upon a detection of the change from the first primary setting to the first secondary setting, is configured to output a secondary audio output signal according to the first secondary setting.
