Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for recording information in a hearing device or in a recording unit which is at least temporarily operatively connected to the same, and a hearing device.
  • Modern hearing aids are adapted to the individual needs of hearing aid wearers, the most important adaptation when used in the medical field is that the hearing aid can compensate or correct a hearing loss existing in a patient. For this purpose, for example, an audiogram of the patient is created, based on which various settings are made in the hearing aid. Furthermore, modern hearing aids offer the possibility of automatically or manually selecting one of several hearing programs available in the hearing aid. This gives the hearing aid wearer the opportunity to best adapt his hearing aid to different acoustic environmental situations.
  • EP-1 206 163 A1 in which the already explained prior art is documented again.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of first specifying a method for recording information in a hearing aid and / or in a recording unit which is at least temporarily operatively connected to the hearing aid, which enables the complete determination of any incorrect settings or settings unexpected in certain situations. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to obtain maximum support when fitting a hearing aid in order to be able to considerably simplify the fitting process.
  • the invention has the following advantages: Since a point in time of the recording and the information to be recorded, such as data and / or parameters and / or settings of the hearing aid, can be freely set or programmed, the hearing aid can be adapted to individual wishes and needs individual hearing loss of a hearing aid user for the first time.
  • the multitude of parameters that can be set in a hearing aid can be checked and monitored in real or selective acoustic environments in real, ie actually existing acoustic environments, in order subsequently to be able to optimally adjust or adapt the hearing aid, for example after the analysis by the acoustician , Precisely because of the large number of possible adjustable parameter, selective recording according to the invention is of crucial importance. It is therefore not possible to continuously record all possible parameters and other settings of a hearing aid at all times, because both the available storage space and the energy available in the hearing aid are restricted.
  • the invention is not only suitable for hearing aids - be they behind the ear, in the ear canal or implanted - for compensating or correcting hearing damage. Rather, the invention can also be used excellently for any hearing aids that are used to improve communication.
  • the invention is explained in more detail below using a drawing, for example.
  • the single figure shows a block diagram of a hearing device according to the invention.
  • the single figure shows a schematic representation of a hearing aid, consisting of a microphone 1, a signal processing unit 3 and a loudspeaker unit 5, which is also referred to as a handset, both the microphone 1 and the loudspeaker unit 5 being operatively connected to the signal processing unit 3.
  • an analog / digital converter 2 must be provided between the microphone 1 and the signal processing unit 3 and a digital / analog converter 4 between the signal processing unit 3 and the loudspeaker unit 5.
  • the present invention is particularly suitable for binaural hearing aids which consist of two hearing aid parts which are connected to one another via a wired or wireless transmission link.
  • a control unit 6 is contained in the hearing aid, which is operatively connected on the one hand to the signal processing unit 3 and on the other hand to a storage unit 7. Furthermore, a further embodiment of the invention consists in that a connection device 10 is used to communicate with external processing units which are located outside the hearing aid.
  • the connection device 10 can support both wired and wireless data transmission.
  • both individual data and data from various of the aforementioned information groups can be recorded in the storage unit 7 or in a processing unit or external storage unit that is external to the hearing aid.
  • Hardware data to be recorded can be, for example, the following: specifications of vent, hook, microphones, earphones, tubing, shells, hearing device types and designs, right or left hearing device part in a binaural hearing device, switches on the hearing device, production data such as serial numbers, manufacturing data, identification features the electronics used, version of the (Digital Signal Processing) DSP firmware, version of the DSP algorithms, version of the fitting software used, version of the data recording software used, version of the controller unit, maximum gain, delay via the signal reverse path, Microphone matching, sound variation data, hearing aid variation data, hearing aid wearer interaction data, etc.
  • production data such as serial numbers, manufacturing data, identification features the electronics used
  • version of the (Digital Signal Processing) DSP firmware version of the DSP algorithms
  • version of the fitting software used version of the fitting software used
  • version of the data recording software used version of the controller unit
  • maximum gain delay via the signal reverse path
  • Microphone matching sound variation data, hearing aid variation data, hearing aid wearer interaction data, etc.
  • a binaural hearing aid which consists of two hearing aid parts, which are connected to one another via a wired or a wireless connection
  • monitor and record the quality of the connection for example three stages for the Connection quality is provided: "Connection not available”, “Bad connection” and "Good connection”. If the connection is characterized by different quality levels, then of course only the quality levels are recorded as a function of time.
  • the present invention for the first time creates the possibility of using the data recording for hardware diagnosis of the hearing aid, as is the case, for example, with microphone matching, changing the microphone sensitivity, etc.
  • the acoustician can significantly improve the hearing aid service and make the necessary adjustments significantly faster.
  • he is particularly familiar with the knowledge of the hardware status of the hearing aid.
  • the use of data recording is mentioned below in order to obtain information about the state of a so-called wind and weather protection, which is attached as a sound-permeable cover over the microphone opening:
  • the cover must be exchanged for a new cover every 2 to 6 months, which can be done very easily by the acoustician.
  • the "dirty cover" problem is not recognized by the acoustician in most cases and the hearing aid is sent to service unnecessarily. This is expensive and requires a lot of unnecessary service; in addition, the hearing aid wearer must manage without his hearing aid during the time.
  • the present invention is now used to internally monitor the condition of the cover and, if necessary, to give appropriate information or instructions to the hearing aid wearer (such as, for example, an acoustic message "Please consult an acoustician!). As soon as the acoustician connects the device to the hearing aid fitting program (fitting software), a corresponding message appears for him, for example "Please replace cover!”.
  • the mean spectral level distribution can be recorded in the sense of the present invention. As soon as the high frequencies fall below a critical threshold, the above-mentioned message is generated to the hearing aid wearer or to the acoustician.
  • the critical threshold can be determined adaptively by during the first time (for example during the first 100 hours) after the Commissioning of the hearing aid the average spectral distribution is recorded and saved as a reference.
  • the acoustician can thus refine his hearing aid assessment, which enables him to determine any hardware damage in a short time.
  • Customer-specific data to be recorded can be, for example, the following: diagnostic data (audiogram, ear impedance, etc.); anatomical data (concha and ear canal), which can be obtained from an ear impression, and directly derived, modeled physical variables such as RECD (Real Ear to Coupler Difference), OEG (Open Ear gain) etc.
  • diagnostic data audiogram, ear impedance, etc.
  • anatomical data concha and ear canal
  • RECD Real Ear to Coupler Difference
  • OEG Open Ear gain
  • the invention records the fitting history of a hearing aid for the first time.
  • the fitting parameters, or the changes made to the factory settings, as well as the location of the adjustment, the date of the adjustment and the program version of the adjustment software are saved.
  • Knowledge of this data is very advantageous, since it can be taken into account in a new adaptation process, with which a readjustment is simplified and shortened and consistently leads to a better result.
  • it serves to understand and document the entire "medical history" or fitting history of the hearing aid, from which, in turn, conclusions can be drawn about the hearing aid wearer or his habits.
  • the acoustician is able to follow the preferences and wishes of his client over several years and to be able to serve each client better and better.
  • the invention In addition to the current settings, which can be, for example, information about the hearing program, filter settings used, identified current environmental situation, etc., the invention also enables so-called operating data to be recorded.
  • operating data are, for example, the acoustic signals recorded by the microphone 1 themselves, the registration of the actuation of a switch integrated in the hearing aid or the stimuli delivered to the hearing aid wearer in the form of acoustic signals or in the form of direct stimulations of the inner ear, such as it is used with implanted hearing aids.
  • a change in volume is recorded, which is set by the hearing device wearer in a certain acoustic situation.
  • the volume is changed by the predetermined amount each time the hearing program is selected.
  • any interactions of the hearing aid wearer are recorded and evaluated in the sense as has just been explained in connection with a change in the volume.
  • the hearing device can be designed such that the corrected parameter sets, which, as explained above, have been changed by the hearing device wearer in accordance with his or her desire to hear, are stored in the hearing device. It turns out that in a certain acoustic environmental situation the hearing aid wearer repeatedly changes the originally stored parameter set assigned to this environmental situation in the same way, i.e. Always in the same direction and by the same amount, this originally saved parameter set or the parameter values can be replaced by the changed, corrected parameter set or the parameter values. The corrected parameter set or parameter values are subsequently used as the standard setting.
  • This exchange of the originally stored parameter set or parameter values for the corrected parameter set or parameter values can be learned automatically by the hearing aid itself, for example by a neural network (neural network), or by a hearing care professional or the hearing aid wearer himself.
  • a neural network neural network
  • the aforementioned automatic adjustability is predetermined by the acoustician, i.e. Together with the hearing aid wearer, the acoustician determines whether manual changes that have been made more than once are to be automatically added to the initial setting after a certain time or whether the changes are simply to be recorded and, if discussed by the hearing aid wearer, the changes should only be added to the initial setting during the next fitting process after discussion with the hearing aid wearer ,
  • Percentiles correspond to an "amplitude" sorting of signals and are used, for example, to differentiate between situations. Percentiles or percentile generators are described for example in EP-0 732 036.
  • the advantage of data recording of statistical data is that it requires less storage space compared to storing the raw data that has not been evaluated.
  • events are counted and / or moving averages are calculated in the data recording according to the present invention.
  • This shows the interaction between the hearing aid wearer and the hearing aid between two fitting processes, which are each carried out by the acoustician.
  • the last three to four weeks have a very small influence on the averaged values, in other words: the time before the three to four weeks is weighted more heavily. However, this does not correspond to the perception of the hearing aid wearer, who primarily remembers the behavior in the last few days or in the last few weeks.
  • a further embodiment of the present invention therefore consists in that real averages and events are not recorded, but rather the averages are deleted over time, in such a way that the effect of a value or event decreases over time (so-called "leaky averager").
  • the procedure proposed is essentially the same, except that the sum and the number of values are multiplied by a number between 0 and 1 at regular intervals (preferably very close to one). This does not change the mean value, but the weight of the older measured values decreases compared to the younger measured values. In this way, time-weighted statistics are obtained in the desired manner, which correspond to the hearing aid wearer's feeling rather than the ongoing, unweighted calculation of statistical values.
  • so-called leaky integrators are provided for forming time-weighted statistical values in the hearing aid. This includes the formation of mean values, histograms, variances and standard deviations.
  • the above-mentioned possibilities for time synchronization also create the possibility of implementing new applications in the hearing aid, which are based on the availability of the date and time.
  • Such an application consists in implementing an acoustic agenda which acoustically indicates appointments approaching the hearing aid wearer, one possibility being to implement the agenda in the hearing aid itself.
  • the relevant data are obtained from an external device, for example a PDA, and are only processed acoustically by the hearing device.
  • the computer programs mentioned can either be implemented in the hearing aid or in an external device, such as in a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Both in a realization in the hearing aid and in an external device, synchronization processes can be provided in a known manner for comparing the relevant information between the devices involved. This also takes into account the aspect of increased data security.
  • visually impaired people also have the option of implementing an acoustic clock in the hearing aid.
  • a clock is present in the hearing device in order to be able to measure the absolute time or to be able to generate a time stamp.
  • time synchronization is not restricted to the use of data recordings in or via the hearing aid, but can be used independently thereof.
  • Another aspect of the present invention relates to the triggering of the data or information recording, ie the point in time from which data or information is to be recorded.
  • the present invention is characterized in that the event relevant for the data recording can be freely selected, be it a manual triggering, which is caused, for example, by the hearing aid wearer himself, or a programmed triggering, in which various predefined conditions must be met ,
  • the data recording is triggered manually by the hearing aid wearer or by the acoustician, for example by pressing a button on a remote control or on the hearing aid.
  • the hearing aid wearer can determine which situations are recorded, for example to prove which situations are causing him difficulties and how the situation is presented to him.
  • the duration of the data recording can also be freely selected.
  • the acoustician responsible for the adjustment is no longer dependent on artificial laboratory situations, but can directly view the behavior of the hearing aid as critical by the hearing aid wearer Understand perceived situations and make improvements as part of a new fitting.
  • periodic recording of data is provided (so-called frequency triggering).
  • the period i.e. the trigger frequency is adjustable or changes automatically according to a predefined programmable pattern.
  • the storage space required for recording the data can be reduced and the recording frequency can be adapted to the parameters to be recorded.
  • the data recorded over a longer period of time therefore provide an overall picture of the acoustic situations surrounding the hearing device wearer and the corresponding settings of the hearing device. Using this data, the acoustician can adapt all settings of the hearing aid better and, above all, more individually to the hearing aid wearer.
  • the data is recorded automatically, for example by certain properties of the acoustic environment (for example if a certain volume, signal / noise ratio, etc. is reached or exceeded) or by certain properties of the hearing aid such as automatic program changes or the occurrence of feedback.
  • Certain properties of the acoustic environment for example if a certain volume, signal / noise ratio, etc. is reached or exceeded
  • certain properties of the hearing aid such as automatic program changes or the occurrence of feedback.
  • the actual triggering event is freely selectable according to the invention and can vary from hearing aid wearer to hearing aid wearer differ. Is z. B. a hearing aid wearer an automatic program change in certain situations uncomfortable, the acoustician can determine exactly this program change as a trigger event.
  • the acoustic scenes, and possibly also the settings of the hearing aid are then documented by the data recording when the event occurs. After the analysis of the data, the acoustician can then make an improved setting of the hearing device, so that
  • this mode also has the advantage that the choice of automatic operating settings can be tested and controlled depending on the real acoustic environment.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides for the storage unit and / or the external memory to be divided into two or more sectors, function-specific information or time-specific information being stored in each sector.
  • the memory unit and / or the external memory are divided into three sectors, a distinction being made between a single sector, a trailer sector and an overwrite sector.
  • appended sector In the appended sector ("append sector” or “continous sector”), the information to be recorded is always added to the last stored information.
  • the memory unit or the external memory are thus successively filled with the latest information from front to back.
  • fitting history e.g. the fitting history that a hearing aid has undergone (fitting history) can be documented over a very long period of time.
  • This sector cannot be deleted either, but is always described in contrast to the individual sector.
  • the overwrite sector is used to record the information that is generated during operation. After data recording has taken place over a certain period of time due to certain events, the data is no longer required after an evaluation.
  • the acoustician or the hearing aid wearer releases the storage space again - for example by means of suitable manipulations on a remote control, on the hearing aid or by means of a connected programming and reading unit.
  • the sector can thus be rewritten after the evaluation. For example, it is conceivable that a hearing aid wearer would like to have documented a certain situation through the data recording, but is not yet satisfied with the previously recorded situations, since, for example, were not at the expected volume or there was no feedback. In this case it is possible to delete the saved data. This creates free space for recording new data.
  • the overwrite sector is particularly suitable for recording the gain, signal feedback, program change or for acoustic signals.
  • the overwrite sector is implemented as a circular memory (buffer), in which the oldest data are overwritten with the most recent data. Accordingly, it is not necessary to delete this overwrite sector, because the new writing automatically deletes the old data within the required storage space.
  • a write process usually takes about 4-8 ms and is therefore also referred to as a "burst".
  • burst there is a high load on the battery and thus usually also audible artifacts in the hearing aid, since a short voltage drop occurs as a result of a writing process, which leads to an insufficient supply of the microphones, amplifiers, etc.
  • the following strategies are proposed within the scope of this invention, it being expressly pointed out that the following measures are not only suitable for recording data in connection with the above statements, but the following statements have a general meaning when describing them from a non-volatile memory in portable devices and can therefore be considered as independent inventions:
  • a first variant is characterized in that a favorable time is awaited for the data recording.
  • the data are first stored in a volatile memory and are only then transferred to the non-volatile data memory when the favorable time has come.
  • a good time is, for example, when the battery is only slightly loaded or when only small signal components have to be generated at the output.
  • a second variant provides that during the writing process the gain is increased in advance in such a way that a voltage drop caused by the writing process is compensated for, so that no recognizable change is noticeable on the output signal of a hearing aid through a writing process.
  • a type of signal processing by means of which the audible artifacts resulting from the data recording are suppressed.
  • the noise generated by a "burst" can be determined individually for each hearing aid in the development phase and eliminated with the aid of a suitable signal processing program.
  • Access to the memory unit 7 for reading out and programming takes place by means of suitable hardware via the transmission device 10 indicated in the figure, it being possible to store the stored data in the Transfer memory of a (Personal Digital Assistant) PDA or a mobile phone.
  • the transferred data can either be processed directly, or it can be transferred to a more powerful computer for further processing at a later point in time.
  • the data is bypassed by the storage unit 7 in the hearing aid directly to a powerful external computer in order to carry out, for example, a visualization of the data. This creates a good control option for the acoustician in particular.
  • the evaluation of some data stored in the storage unit 7 during operation enables the hearing aid to be adapted, it being provided in a further embodiment that the Hearing aid wearer can gradually get used to the new hearing aid setting. For example, there is the possibility of having the gain in the hearing aid increase automatically after certain operating times until a desired value is finally reached. An important application of this concerns those people who first have to get used to wearing hearing aids. Experience has shown that a sudden improvement in acoustic perception as a result of a hearing aid worn for the first time, which from the acoustician's point of view is optimally adapted to an existing hearing loss, triggers a severe irritation to the hearing aid wearer.
  • the process of getting used to the hearing aid wearer can be checked and initialized, for example by changing the gain or some other parameter by the hearing aid wearer.
  • a further embodiment of the present invention is that the information recording described in the hearing aid is used to record the "acoustic world" of the future hearing aid wearer, so it is not intended that the hearing aid in this phase provide an acoustic signal for processed the hearing aid wearer. It is only a matter of registering the acoustic situations that the future hearing aid wearer will find in his environment. Such a preliminary clarification can make it easier, for example, to select the hearing device type.
