    Abstract: A hearing aid is provided with a switch that automatically, non-manuall y switches at least one of inputs, filters, or programmable parameters in the presence of a magnetic field. The magnetic field can be generated by a magnet in a telepho ne handset. The hearing aid further is programmed based on time-varying characteristics of the magnetic field. Wireless activation or deactivation of the hearing aid is also described. A magnetic field dependant switch turns the hearing aid on or off.

    Abstract: A system for measuring speech content in sound. The system determining time local speech-to-noise ratio for one or more bands. The system using a signal related to the power of the input signal or envelope and generating a time-dependent mean of the envelope and deviation of the envelope from the mean to estimate a time-dependent speech-to-noise ratio. The system providing single band or multiband speech-to-noise estimates for signal processing applications. The system realizable in analog, digital or analog and digital combinations.
