A remote control for a hearing aid device prevents incorrect operation by
having operating elements that effect a signal transmission from the
remote control to a hearing aid device disposed on a first side of the
remote control housing, and operating elements that additionally effect a
signal transmission from the hearing aid device back to the remote
control disposed on a second housing side of the remote control. The
first and second housing sides are disposed in an easily tactilely
distinguishable relation to each other, such as by being substantially
orthogonal. The different functions of the operating elements and
therefore can be differentiated purely by contact with the remote
control.
