Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for adapting a Body portable or implantable hearing aid with at least an input converter, a signal processing unit and an output converter.
  • the invention further relates to a hearing aid for implementation of such a process.
  • a hearing aid is usually adapted in the Dialogue between a hearing aid wearer and an acoustician.
  • the hearing aid wearer receives different test signals presented, which he perceives subjectively and his impressions communicates to the acoustician. This compares perception of the hearing aid wearer with the impressions of normal hearing to the respective test signal. From the different sensations the acoustician derives hearing aid parameters that are in generally for an improved adaptation of the hearing aid lead to the hearing aid wearer. This will last so long repeated until the hearing impaired a number of test signals subjectively feels similar to a normal hearing.
  • a method is known from EP 0 831 672 A2 in which a hearing aid wearer using an interactive fitting program in the performance of sound images on the resulting ones Listening impressions reacted. From the data obtained in this way hearing aid-specific setting parameters are calculated and then transfer to the hearing aid.
  • the dialogue with The acoustician is largely replaced an interactive software.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for Adapt hearing aids especially to non-cooperative ones or to indicate impaired hearing impaired. It is also an object of the invention to design a hearing aid device such that in this an improved adaptation in particular to non-cooperative or poorly communicated hearing impaired people is achievable.
  • this object is achieved by a method to adapt a wearable or implantable on the body Hearing aid device with at least one input transducer, a signal processing unit and an output converter, at least one connected to a hearing aid wearer Measuring device auditory, involuntary body signals of the hearing aid wearer and to an evaluation unit forwards the hearing aid-specific fitting parameters from the measured values generated, and wherein the adjustment parameters to the Signal processing unit of the hearing aid for individual Adjustment to be transferred.
  • the part of the task relating to the hearing aid is solved thanks to an internal measuring and evaluation unit, the adaptation parameters generated from the measured values.
  • the hearing aid device can be a pocket device Behind-the-ear device (BTE), an in-the-ear device (ITE) or act as an implantable hearing aid.
  • BTE Behind-the-ear device
  • ITE in-the-ear device
  • an input or output converter come electroacoustic transducers, too electromechanical, electromagnetic or electrical transducers (e.g. for direct stimulation of auditory cells) into consideration.
  • Various types of signals are used to stimulate the hearing (Stimuli) such as acoustic, electrical, electromagnetic or mechanical signals possible.
  • the stimuli are audible both via the hearing aid and externally, for example by means of external speakers, as well as via direct connections to auditory cells, for example electromagnetic or mechanical stimulation, deliverable.
  • stimulating Via the hearing aid this is either acoustic from the outside or electrical or electromagnetic or optical Test signals supplied, or the test signals are in the hearing aid stored and read out, or they will generated in the hearing aid.
  • These are also synthetic in particular generated test signals can be used to stimulate the hearing. They preferably pass through the hearing aid supplied test signals the signal processing unit of the Hearing aid, and the resulting stimulation of the hearing takes place via the output converter of the hearing aid.
  • the hearing response to the stimuli can be varied Way to be measured.
  • Essential objective methods for this are:
  • bioelectric Potential fluctuations in the brain registered as Spontaneous activity (spontaneous EEG) or as by external Stimulated evoked activity (evoked potentials).
  • the electrodes of the equipped with discharge channels Devices are placed on the top of the skull so that the Combination of two different electrodes (bipolar lead) or a different electrode u. a reference (unipolar derivative) for simultaneous derivatives of different Leads to brain areas.
  • the EEG the potential fluctuations triggered by the acoustic stimuli (evoked potentials) determined.
  • Magnetoencephalography is biomagnetic recording of the magnetic fields generated by electrical brain waves.
  • Multi-channel systems allow the localization of sources bundled nerve cell activity with a time resolution in the Millisecond range and a spatial resolution in the millimeter range.
  • the measurement method provides essential information about the central processing of auditory stimuli.
  • the ear is not just a receiver of sound waves, it is in turn also sends low intensity acoustic signals out.
  • This acoustic impulse response of a functional Ohrs is called "otoacoustic emission".
  • otoacoustic emission she allows conclusions to be drawn about the functionality of the ear.
  • the ear is stimulated acoustically and the reaction by means of a highly sensitive one directed into the ear canal Microphones detected.
  • a preferably neural structure of the evaluation unit has been improved the evaluation of results from different measurements and has a positive effect on the convergence behavior of the Adjustment parameters.
  • Control technology is due to the amount of data and the complexity of the measurement results from fuzzy logic to signal processing in the evaluation unit advantageous.
  • the evaluation unit makes statements from the measurement results about the malfunction of the hearing and generated by means of a suitable software hearing aid parameters for the used Hearing aid.
  • the adaptation parameters determined in this way act the signal processing unit of the hearing aid individual adaptation to the hearing aid wearer.
  • the inventive method is particularly not or only able to cooperate or have poor communication skills Hearing impaired an advantage. So that's another Circle of hearing impaired people for the use of hearing aids accessible. This particularly includes children or multiple disabled.
  • the hearing aid wearer is usually located for adaptation in a suitable measuring room and the stimuli presented of an acoustic nature and are via external speakers fed. This has the advantage that it interacts directly with it hearing and hearing aid with the current hearing aid settings under largely natural conditions is verifiable.
  • the stimuli are directly via the output transducer of the hearing aid fed.
  • acoustic signals in the case of BTE or ITE hearing aids, acoustic signals, it can for example with implantable hearing aids, but also electromagnetic ones or mechanical signals.
  • the hearing aid can be connected to an external device via a signal path are connected to the generation of test signals. Test signals can, however, also be stored in the hearing aid or only be generated in this. So that's it, in particular then, if the measuring and evaluation unit in the hearing aid is integrated, possible automatic adjustment without having to carry out further device units.
  • the hearing aid another acoustic-electrical Input converter on, for recording and converting otoacoustic Emissions is directed into the ear canal the hearing aid automatically measures a hearing malfunction and adapt it accordingly.
  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of the invention is based on a Drawing explained in more detail.
  • the figure shows schematically a measuring room 1 for sound reinforcement on the head 2 of a hearing aid wearer worn hearing aid 3.
  • Via a signal path 4 is the hearing aid 3 with a measuring and evaluation unit 5, the measuring device and an evaluation unit includes connected.
  • a sensor arrangement 6 is attached and via the signal path 7 connected to the measuring and evaluation unit 5.
  • the hearing of the Hearing aid wearer and the hearing aid 3 is, by the measuring and evaluation unit 5 controlled via the signal path 8 and the speakers 9 for stimulation an acoustic test signal fed.
  • the hearing generates in response to the test signal potential of the hearing aid wearer.
