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