Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adjustment a hearing system that includes at least one hearing aid, wherein multiple adjustment configurations are provided in the hearing system become.
  • the present concerns Invention a corresponding hearing system with at least one Hearing aid.
  • a hearing impaired person receives a hearing aid, e.g. B. a hearing aid, a middle ear implant or a cochlear implant these are individually adapted to him. This is done in a first step through an initial adjustment, which is usually is performed by a hearing care professional. In several subsequent sessions with the hearing care professional the hearing aid is gradually optimized in its setting, so that it meets the individual needs of the hearing aid wearer justice. Because seeing a hearing care professional usually associated with effort, this becomes multiple avoided and necessary fine adjustments are no longer carried out.
  • a hearing aid e.g. B. a hearing aid, a middle ear implant or a cochlear implant
  • the object of the present invention is to adapt to improve and simplify for the hearing aid wearer.
  • a method for setting a hearing system that has at least one hearing aid includes the steps of providing multiple setting configurations in the hearing system, automatic classification a current listening situation, offering a group of Setting configurations from the several setting configurations depending on the classified listening situation and Interactive selection of a setting configuration from the Group of setting configurations with the hearing aid.
  • a hearing system is provided according to the invention with at least one hearing aid and a storage device to provide multiple setting configurations, one Classification device for automatic classification a listening situation, a computing device for automatic Select a group of setting configurations from the several setting configurations depending on the classified hearing situation and an input device for Interactive selection of a setting configuration from the Group of setting configurations.
  • the interactive selection can be done with one or more controls on the hearing aid.
  • the interactive hearing system is configured according to the invention Selection using a remote control instead. in the In the broadest sense, such a remote control also counts a mobile phone, for example, via a Bluetooth interface communicates with the hearing aid.
  • a remote control also counts a mobile phone, for example, via a Bluetooth interface communicates with the hearing aid.
  • the interactive selection by voice input via a corresponding voice input unit he follows.
  • All process steps of the process according to the invention can be performed in and / or on the at least one hearing aid become. This is the same if all the facilities, namely the storage device, the classification device, the computing device and the input device, in the at least one hearing aid of the system according to the invention are integrated. As a result, no additional external is required Devices to adjust the hearing aid interactively. in principle the adjustment process can also be done with the help external systems. Such external systems can also be used for entering data for example to outsource computing intelligence. This can be especially true for so-called in-the-ear hearing aids or implants, for example due to lack of space no large storage device for setting configurations and no computing device for automatic selection a group of setting configurations.
  • the group of setting configurations determined by a simplex method are simplex as an optimization process for the so-called interactive fitting (IAF) known. They are based on a systematic algorithm and automatically converge to an optimal one Attitude.
  • IAF interactive fitting
  • the setting configurations can be used for binaural hearing systems be designed.
  • the setting of each of the two Hearing aids are made individually or the corresponding data be exchanged wirelessly between the hearing aids if that Interactive adjustment via a hearing aid, the so-called Master serves, takes place.
  • the hearing aid wearer notes, for example, when performing music that his hearing aid should be readjusted. This music situation is classified accordingly and the hearing system is determined from the fact that only very special parameters changed Need to become.
  • the parameters to be changed relate, for example the low-frequency range of a gain characteristic.
  • the current gain characteristic curve 1 is over the frequency f symbolized in the figure with the solid line.
  • the optimal characteristic curve 2, which in this situation for the hearing aid wearer would be most suitable is dotted in the figure shown.
  • the hearing aid wearer After the hearing aid wearer has determined that the current Characteristic 1 is not optimal for him in this situation is, it triggers the adjustment process so that after the Classification a first new characteristic curve 3 is offered. The hearing aid wearer in turn does not classify this as optimal a because they have too high reinforcements in the low-frequency range having. The hearing system then offers a second new one Characteristic curve 4, which is below the first new characteristic curve 3, but lies above the original characteristic curve 1. If this second new characteristic curve 4 from the hearing aid wearer the hearing system is not always perceived as optimal again new characteristic curves until the optimal characteristic curve 2 is found is. A systematic algorithm leads to the fact that the entered characteristic curves automatically against the optimum Characteristic curve 2 converge.
  • Both algorithms can be integrated in the hearing system partially or completely on an external System expire.
  • the user or hearing aid wearer starts the interactive one Adjustment process, for example, by pressing a corresponding one Button on the hearing aid or on a remote control. This can take place in any listening situation.
  • the automatic situation detection analyzes and classifies hence the present listening situation. From the setting of the hearing aid stored for this situation are alternative, for example, using a simplex method Parameter configurations determined.
  • the hearing aid wearer In addition to the current setting or parameter configuration is the hearing aid wearer depending on the classified situation, another setting configuration (Characteristic curve 3). This is done, for example, by the hearing aid wearer between two settings respectively Switches programs back and forth. This switching can also automatically within a specified time interval respectively.
  • the hearing aid wearer chooses the preferred setting for example by pressing a button provided for this purpose Button off.
  • the system then calculates the next one Setting configuration, with which the hearing aid wearer again before the choice can be made.
  • the optimization process stops automatically after fulfilling a defined termination criterion or can be stopped by the hearing aid user if desired.
  • the optimization process can be restarted at any time become.
  • the system saves those related to the respective listening situation Optimal setting and calls them back automatically when the user is in an equally classified Situation.
  • a hearing aid setting medium setting configuration can be selected, which is made up of Average values of the individual parameters over the currently available Composed of settings.
  • the interactive adaptation can also take place over an arbitrarily long period in which no relative comparisons are made between two or more setting configurations, but rather the interaction takes place through a spontaneous, absolute evaluation of the current setting by the user.
  • Such an absolute evaluation can be carried out in binary form, for example " good / bad" or else on a multi-level grading scale.
  • the evaluation can be entered into the hearing system, for example by means of a remote control, a special code of the operating elements of the hearing system or by voice input.
  • the situation detection, d. H. the classification in a remote control carried out, which also has a control unit for the setting optimization has.
  • the hearing aid parameters or setting configurations are from the remote control calculated and transmitted to the hearing aid.
  • the hearing aid wearer is thus able to use a hearing aid the initial setting specified by the hearing care professional in To test everyday life and readjust if necessary. It it is no longer necessary for the hearing aid wearer to Readjust a specialist or hearing aid acoustician visits. This also makes the optimization process clear improved that the respective optimization in a real Everyday situation takes place and not under laboratory conditions.
