Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adjusting a hearing device by automatically classifying a hearing situation, manually setting a parameter of a signal processing device of the hearing device and automatically learning the set parameter for the current hearing situation. Moreover, the present invention relates to a corresponding hearing device.
  • the term hearing device here is understood to mean any portable and non-portable device for acoustic communication, in particular a hearing device, a headset and a headset.
  • Hearing aids are portable hearing aids that are used to care for the hearing impaired.
  • different types of hearing aids such as behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE), in-the-ear hearing aids (IDO) and Concha hearing aids are provided.
  • BTE behind-the-ear hearing aids
  • IDO in-the-ear hearing aids
  • Concha hearing aids are provided.
  • the hearing aids listed by way of example are worn on the outer ear or in the ear canal.
  • bone conduction hearing aids, implantable or vibrotactile hearing aids are also available on the market. The stimulation of the damaged hearing takes place either mechanically or electrically.
  • Hearing aids have in principle as essential components an input transducer, an amplifier and an output transducer.
  • the input transducer is usually a sound receiver, z. As a microphone, and / or an electromagnetic receiver, for. B. an induction coil.
  • the output transducer is usually used as an electroacoustic transducer, z. As miniature speaker, or as an electromechanical transducer, z. B. bone conduction, realized.
  • the amplifier is usually integrated in a signal processing unit. This basic structure is shown in FIG 1 using the example of a behind-the-ear hearing aid shown. In a hearing aid housing 1 for carrying behind the ear, one or more microphones 2 for receiving the sound from the environment are installed.
  • a signal processing unit 3 which is also integrated in the hearing aid housing 1, processes the microphone signals and amplifies them.
  • the output signal of the signal processing unit 3 is transmitted to a loudspeaker or earpiece 4, which outputs an acoustic signal.
  • the sound is optionally transmitted via a sound tube, which is fixed with an earmold in the ear canal, to the eardrum of the device carrier.
  • the power supply of the hearing device and in particular of the signal processing unit 3 is carried out by a likewise integrated into the hearing aid housing 1 battery. 5
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to make the training of a hearing more comfortable.
  • this object is achieved by a method for adjusting a hearing device by automatically classifying a hearing situation, setting a parameter of a signal processing device of the hearing device and automatically learning the set parameter for the current hearing situation, as well as temporally monitoring the steps "classify” and “set” and trigger of automatic learning only when the classified hearing situation and the setting have not changed for a given period of time.
  • a hearing device is provided with a classification device for classifying a hearing situation, a signal processing device connected to the classification device, an adjustment device for setting a parameter of the signal processing device, a learning device for automatically learning the set parameter for the current hearing situation, and a time monitoring device for temporally monitoring the classifier and the setting device and for triggering automatic learning of the learning device as soon as the classified hearing situation and the setting have not changed for a predetermined period of time.
  • the invention thus provides a simplified operating concept for hearing devices and in particular Hearing aids ready.
  • Another advantage of the inventive concept is that more training sessions can be achieved. The fact that the device tries to learn after each user change, significantly more training events are achieved. Thus, the startup setting converges faster to the desired settings. This in turn results in a faster training, because the user recognizes by the more frequent training events rather that the device optimizes its settings by itself. The fact that the desired setting is reached quickly, after some time no changes by the user more necessary. Consequently, a higher user acceptance can be achieved because the device adapts quickly and easily to the individual listening experience of the user.
  • a mean and / or a variance of a level is analyzed.
  • it can be determined, for example, whether the respective situation is unambiguous, or whether special events have occurred in recent times. If the situation was not clear and special events had occurred, then there is no learning step for the period in question. Rather, the learning begins only after established uniqueness of the hearing situation.
  • a method for setting a hearing device is carried out by way of example according to the flowchart of FIG. 2.
  • the adjustment is made by automatic learning.
  • This learning is started in step S1.
  • Start trigger may be a manual adjustment of the hearing device or the hearing aid.
  • a changed hearing situation can serve as a start trigger.
  • step S2 it is then first checked whether the current hearing situation could be clearly classified. If this is not the case, the classification step S2 is repeated accordingly. In the case of clear classification, it is additionally possible to check according to step S3 whether special acoustic events have occurred. If "yes", the classification of the listening situation may not be meaningful and the method returns to the classifying step S2.
  • step S4 If, on the other hand, the hearing situation is clearly classified and no particular acoustic event took place, it is checked in step S4 whether the setting of the hearing device and the hearing situation were constant for a specific time. This monitoring period can be specified as desired. As long as the end of the monitoring period has not been reached, the system returns to step S2 and repeatedly checks the classification and the presence of special acoustic events.
  • a learning step S5 takes place.
  • the setting of the hearing device or the hearing device to the classified hearing situation is stored.
  • the system automatically returns to the starting point in step S1.
  • a further change of attitude or a situation change may initiate another learning step.
  • the "Vote" button known from the prior art is replaced by a timing control.
  • the user behavior is analyzed and changes in the situation are recorded. If the situation is clear or there have been no special events in recent times (deviations of the mean or the variance of the level, binaural no big differences or the like) and the user retains the chosen setting for a while, then the listener's desire for this situation to be valid and is trained. Have environment parameters, i. H. If the listening situation is changed, the listening request can not be regarded as generally valid and will not be trained. If the user has made another change to the setting, the observation period is extended before the training event, i. H. the learning step is triggered.
