Abstract
The increasing miniaturization of hearing aids means that less and less space is available for accommodating controls (). It is thus proposed that, at least one proximity sensor (A,B) be provided on a hearing aid () so as to enable an operating function to be performed even without touching a control directly. For operation of a hearing aid () in accordance with the invention, in addition to the hearing aid () itself, no further technical aids such as remote control, magnets etc. have to be worn as well.
